Phantom of the Opera, Phoenix Cinema, High Road, East Finchley, Sunday, 1.30pm

A screening of the 1925 silent horror film about a mysterious, cloaked figure who lives in the deep recesses of the Paris Opera House will have live accompaniment from electro-jazz musicians Cipher.

The duo, made up of Theo Travis and Dave Sturt, have composed an original score for the film using digital sound-processing techniques, as well as acoustic instruments, voices and natural sounds.

The film stars Lon Chaney as the masked and facially disfigured phantom, who falls in love with the beautiful Christine and carries her back to his lair.

Tickets cost £8 (concessions £6) and are available from the box office, on 020 8444 6789.
