Nosferatu

Description

Mark Tipton leads Les Sorciers Perdus in a live performance of his original 2017 score for an exclusive screening of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent film, Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror at the 1932 Criterion Theatre. The progenitor of all vampire films, Murnau’s German Expressionist masterpiece is loosely based on Bram Stoker’s gothic novel “Dracula” (1897), and takes viewers on a wild, insidious ride from sleepy Wisborg to Count Orlok’s terrifying castle in Transylvania! Mark’s tightly-woven, meticulously-syncronized new score blends jazz, classical, folk, and avant-garde styles to portray through music the broad emotional and psychological scope of this cult classic. Nosferatu has inspired generations of filmmakers, including Alfred Hitchcock and Werner Herzog – who remade it in 1979 with the inimitable Klaus Kinski. With a 4-star review by Roger Ebert and a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Nosferatu won’t disappoint!
