The concert hall transforms into a movie theater as Charlie Chaplin’s 87-minute silent film City Lights is projected on the big screen while the Orchestra performs the movie’s remarkable soundtrack live. Charlie Chaplin not only wrote, directed and starred in this film — he also composed the score. While Chaplin may be most famous for his comedy The Great Dictator in which he bitterly satirized Adolf Hitler, the American Film Institute has named City Lights the best romantic comedy and number one silent film of all time. Albert Einstein attended the Los Angeles premiere of City Lights in 1931. George Bernard Shaw took in the London opening. Get your tickets now and join us on the 121st anniversary of Charlie Chaplin’s birthday.
