After the sold-out performances/screenings in Liverpool & Preston; The Laze bring their live & original soundtrack for The Phantom of the Opera (1925) back to Preston's The Continental 30/12/10.  
The Laze will perform the score live beneath the 14ft High Definition screen.

TBH Films presents
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Starring the “Man of a Thousand Faces” Lon Chaney, it is a gripping tale of aspiration, obsession and devilish insanity; and this gothic romance still has the power to inspire terror in audiences 85 years on.

The
Parisian Opera House is a beautiful building that stages extravagant
musical performances, but beneath this resplendent façade lies an
ancient torture chamber surrounded by sepulchral catacombs. And in this
hellish cellar lives a disfigured and demented musician and asylum
escapee, Erik.

His love for Christine, a young fame hungry opera
starlet, drives Erik up from the depths and so unfolds a gothic
adventure unmatched for nearly a century. 

Running time: 80 minutes approx.

septet The Laze are developing a reputation across the UK for their
spine-tingling live performances and expansive soundscapes. Influenced
by a history of horror soundtracks, from Bernard Hermann & Toto to
Goblin & John Carpenter, The Laze implement elements of Progressive
Rock, Classical, Jazz, Doom and Electronica in their auteur musical
accompaniment.

“The Laze sound larger than the sky above and
everything that lies under, imagine the Mahavishnu Orchestra after
reading the Necronomicon.” 20 Jazz Funk Greats

“The missing link
that glues together the classic English prog of long past days and the
forward looking musical adventure of now.” Organ Magazine
