Pick of the Day: The Bride of Frankenstein with Live Orchestra (in LA) 10/27 & 10/28
At nearly 90 years old, Bride of Frankenstein remains a great showcase of how closely tied horror and comedy can be, since it endures as a camp horror gem hailing from 1935. When October rolls around and everything Halloween-themed pops up, a screening of the James Whale classic starring Elsa Lanchester and the legendary Boris Karloff.
How about a very special screening of the movie with a live orchestra? Did you even know that still happens?
Well, The LA Opera Orchestra is indeed live scoring this exclusive screening of Bride of Frankenstein with Jenny Wong conducting Franz Waxman’s original score on Fri. Oct. 27th & Sat. Oct. 28th. In true 30s movie style, they’ll be doing it at a veritable movie palace of old, the Theatre at Ace Hotel in DTLA. While you’re surely going to get your horror movie fix throughout October, there probably won’t be any sort of screenings as grand as this one.
Tickets are only $29 for Bride of Frankenstein with the LA Opera Orchestra and you really ought to get them here sooner rather than later.
