Frankenstein (1931)
Cadogan Hall, SW1X 9DQ , [Venue Details]Film screening with new score performed live by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
The London premiere of a cinematic masterpiece transformed! Grammy-nominated composer Michael Shapiro‘s thrilling score turns a horror classic into a contemporary cinematic event.
One of the earliest sound films, James Whale’s legendary 1931 movie Frankenstein, starring Boris Karloff, had dialogue but no music. Shapiro’s critically acclaimed score marries the original film with live orchestra, creating a haunting emotional landscape and significantly enhancing the film’s dramatic power.
Commissioned in 2001, it has been presented in over 75 sold-out productions worldwide. Now this unforgettable theatrical experience comes to Cadogan Hall, with the composer himself conducting the world-famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra alongside each screening.
Each performance (3.30pm and 7pm) includes a unique Q&A with the composer and Sara Karloff, Boris Karloff’s only child, hosted by author, critic and film historian Pamela Hutchinson.
