Friday Night Classics: Chaplin’s Circus

Fri 3 Apr 2009 7:30pm at Symphony Hall

Conductor, composer and entertainer Carl Davis is world famous for his new scores for classic silent movies; tonight he presents two of Charlie Chaplin’s greatest silent comedies, accompanied live by the CBSO with music that mirrors every action, gesture and emotion on the screen. The Circus was the most successful silent film of all time, and finds Chaplin’s Little Tramp stumbling into a hilarious new profession. And as for The Cure – well, one critic wrote that “in terms of sheer belly-laughs, it may well be the funniest movie Chaplin ever made”. Decide for yourself as Symphony Hall transforms into a giant cinema. One thing’s for sure though – silent movies have never sounded better!

Special prices and seating plan apply: £10, £14, £16.50, £19.50, £22.50, £25, £29
