Minima and St John on Bethnal Green are pleased to present another great night of film and music. The Phantom of the Opera (Directed by Rupert Julian, USA 1925, 77 mins) Beneath the sewers of the Paris Opera House dwells a masked figure. He is the Phantom, a hideously disfigured composer whose dream is to turn chorus singer Christine into a diva. Lon Chaney, the “Man of a Thousand Faces”, dominates this classic adaptation of the 1910 novel by Gaston Leroux.

Read MoreNosferatu with live score by Minima, 24 May, 9pm
Minima and St John on Bethnal Green invite you to a night of film and music set within the atmospheric nave of this grade-one listed church. Based on the Dracula story, F.W.

The ensemble of...
