Minima - The Phantom of the Opera
Minima’s music is a 21st-Century interpretation of the images of silent and avant-garde film.
For Freedom Festival 2015, Minima will be performing their original score to the classic silent film The Phantom of the Opera, directed by Rupert Julian in 1925.
Beneath the sewers of the Paris Opera House dwells a masked figure. He is the Phantom, a hideously disfigured composer whose dream is to turn chorus singer Christine into a diva. Lon Chaney, the “Man of a Thousand Faces”, dominates this classic adaptation of the 1910 novel by Gaston Leroux. His ghastly make-up and outrageous performance made this one of the great classics of American silent film.
“Minima are one of the leading bands accompanying silent film in Europe.” Robert Rider, Head of Cinema, Barbican Centre, London
