Description:
The Lyric Theatre presents the horror film "L’Inferno" with a live score by Montopolis on Saturday, October 5, 2024.

"L’Inferno", released in 1911, is the first feature length horror film ever released along with Italy's first full-length feature film. An adaptation of Dante’s classic journey through hell, this masterpiece of silent film employs elaborate costumes, special effects, and set design to create an awe-inspiring and ethereal world. The original Montopolis score brings new life to this horror classic with a mix of psych rock, dark wave and terrifying sound effects performed live.

Montopolis is following up their critically acclaimed tour of Man with a Movie Camera with a national arthouse cinema tour of "L'Inferno" in 2024.

Montopolis is an indie chamber music group from Austin, Texas that performs the works of composer Justin Sherburn. Their genre-busting music uses inventive instrumentation to create "stunning and transcendent" (Austin Chronicle) concerts. The Montopolis musicians include members of the Austin Symphony, Okkervil River, Tosca String Quartet, and the Polyphonic Spree. Montopolis is a member of the Texas Commission on the Arts touring roster.

Admission is $12.00.
