Nosferatu the Vampire – in concert live to film
2026-2027Distorted sets, haunting shadows, creatures beyond the realm of reality—Nosferatu the Vampire brings together every hallmark of the German Expressionist masterpiece. Directed in 1922 by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, this silent film—the first major adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula—has lost none of its hypnotic power. Presented with a fully improvised live score on the Grand Orgue Pierre-Béique, it reveals a heightened dramatic intensity. Jason Roberts unleashes a vivid sonic palette, capable of colouring each scene—from simmering tension to sweeping surges of sound—most notably during the film’s famous, fateful sea voyage. A sensory experience in which image and music merge to spark a shiver that endures more than a century after the film’s release.
