Get transported back to the silent era of cinema when classic silent film ‘The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari’ is screened at The Riverfront on Tuesday 28 April at 7.30pm, accompanied by live musicians from The London Mozart Players. Composer Lynne Plowman has written a new score to accompany this fantastic film, for this special cinematic experience in the Main Theatre of The Riverfront. The London Mozart Players is the UK's longest-established chamber orchestra, founded in 1949 by the great Harry Blech. Since then it has had Jane Glover, Matthias Bamert and Andrew Parrott as its Music Directors. ’The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari’ is regarded as one of the most influential German expressionist films and also as the first true horror film. Made in 1920, it tells the tale of Dr Caligari and his sleepwalking friend Cesare, who is an attraction at a local carnival and he prophesises someone’s death. The villagers chase Dr Caligari and Cesare as they suspect their involvement with the murder. The plot twists and turns to bring the film to an unexpected end. It will make for an entertaining evening combining great music and great cinema. ‘The Cabinet of Dr Caligari’ is perfect for film buffs and classical music-lovers alike.
