About this event
*One Show Only - Monday October 26th at 7pm* 100th anniversary - Live accompaniment by the Invincible Czars! Part of THE MUSIC BOX OF HORRORS. Visit our website for Full Schedule: https://musicboxtheatre.com/series-and-festivals/music-box-of-horrors-the-final-chapter This event features German intertitles with English subtitles Mobilizing the full resources of the Ufa Studios, F. W. Murnau (NOSFERATU, SUNRISE) orchestrated a colossal adaptation of Goethe's FAUST that ranks alongside Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS as the greatest achievement of the German silent cinema. Gösta Ekman stars as the titular alchemist who, struggling with his faith amidst a devastating plague, is offered the power to cure and the gift of youth... in exchange for his soul. As the diabolical Mephisto, Emil Jannings (THE LAST LAUGH) delivers a performance of operatic scale and intensity, by turns charming, comical, and horrific.
