DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – The Tri-State Community Orchestra is bringing a hauntingly unique performance to the Dothan Opera House this fall. On Friday, October 24, the group will present a live symphonic accompaniment to a screening of the 1925 silent film The Phantom of the Opera.
The one-night-only event will feature a full orchestral score performed live as the classic horror film starring Lon Chaney plays on screen. Known for its eerie visuals and Chaney’s legendary portrayal of the Phantom, the film remains a cornerstone of early cinema.
The orchestra, made up of volunteer musicians from Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, partnered with the Dothan Performing Arts Department to make the evening possible. Organizers say the performance offers a rare chance to experience silent film the way audiences did nearly a century ago—with live music bringing every scene to life.

Organizers encourage the community not to miss this “spellbinding blend of film and music” in one of Alabama’s most historic venues.
