Experience David Briggs at Bristol Cathedral, improvising a thrilling live score to Rupert Julian’s 1925 Phantom of the Opera.
The cathedral’s newly restored organ takes centre stage, filling the space with bone-shaking power and soaring drama. The historic, atmospheric setting amplifies every shadow and suspenseful moment, transforming the film into a fully immersive cinematic experience.
Briggs’ masterful improvisation ensures that no two performances are ever the same, making this a one-of-a-kind opportunity to witness the organ and the iconic silent classic in perfect harmony.
