Rupert Julian) is one of cinema’s most enduring images. Now, the Invincible Czars will bring their signature blend of eclectic instrumentation, adventurous arrangements and sense of emotional depth to this 100-year-old classic with a new soundtrack, performing it live with the film. The band is on tour celebrating the 100th anniversary of this early American horror film. The Invincible Czars have been captivating both music and film enthusiasts across North America since 2015 when their soundtrack for Nosferatu earned them accolades in the art house community and made them staple of the silent film circuit. The Czars’ new Phantom of the Opera soundtrack is the culmination of nearly a year of meticulous composition, recording, and collaboration. The group drew inspiration from the film’s gothic visuals and haunting narrative to craft a score using their primary instruments: piano, violin, electric guitar/bass, organ, flute, drums and bass clarinet. They create a memorable and immersive live experience suitable for all ages!
