The Lyric Theatre presents a screening of "Nosferatu" with a live score by the Invincible Czars on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
Enjoy a screening of the original vampire movie! Don't miss the 1922 horror classic on the big screen with a live music score performed by The Invincible Czars formed in Austin, Texas. The Invincible Czars encourage fans and attendees to dress for the Halloween season at these shows regardless of the season.
"Nosferatu" has been The Invincible Czars' most popular silent film score since it debuted in 2015. The show is ear and eye candy for fans of horror movies from all eras.
"Nosferatu" is most certainly the most important horror film of the silent era and one of the first vampire movies. Directed by F. W. Murnau and released in 1922, it's an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. The film follows Thomas Hutter as he journeys to Transylvania to sell property to the eerie Count Orlok, a vampire played by Max Schreck. Orlok travels to Germany, terrorizing the village of Wisborg and preying on its inhabitants. His obsession with Thomas' wife, young Ellen Hutter, leads to a climactic showdown as she attempts to thwart his evil plans.
The film is celebrated for its atmospheric cinematography, haunting performances, and enduring influence on the horror genre. Many consider it to be the pinnacle of German Expressionist film and it has been remade by directors Werner Herzog and Robert Eggers.
Fans, theaters and media have praised The Invincible Czars' soundtrack for making the near century-old movie "actually scary" for modern day audiences since they debuted it in 2015.
Using a mix of acoustic and electric instruments helped. Violin, glockenspiel, organ, flute, bass clarinet, voices and vocals, music box, loops, electric guitar, bass, piano and percussion all play prominent roles in the score and are a sight to behold when performed live by only four or five players!
They've performed this soundtrack well over 200 times across the US and Canada in art house cinemas, colleges, parks and art spaces. In 2022, they released a DVD with their score accompanying the movie for the film's centennial accompanied by a two-month tour.
Admission is $15.00 per person.
