Frankenstein with Live Orchestra

LA Opera Presents Frankenstein with Live Orchestra. It will thrill you. It may shock you. It might even horrify you. We warned you.

We’re back for our hugely popular annual Halloween mash-up of film and opera at the Theatre at Ace Hotel. This time we’ve got the Boris Karloff shocker on the big screen, complete with mad scientist, bumbling henchman and mob of torch-bearing villagers.

This 1931 masterpiece of horror was originally released without a musical score, which inspired composer Michael Shapiro to fill in the void by creating an original new soundtrack. As the classic film plays on the big screen, he’ll conduct his gorgeous and atmospheric score, performed live by the LA Opera Orchestra, making this the ultimate audience experience for a truly iconic film.

The running time is one hour and 11 minutes. Doors 7pm. Show 8pm. Tickets $29 to $109.
