Film-with-orchestra nights are the Phil's most relaxed and fun, and a Universal horror classic with a full symphony underneath it is a genuinely spooky treat in June. It is one night only and priced below the subscription concerts. Bring someone who thinks they do not like orchestras. A midsummer Dracula with a live orchestra is exactly the kind of odd, delightful night the Phil should do more of.
What to expect
A full screening of the film with the orchestra playing the score live below the screen; about 90 minutes.
