To commemorate 100 years of movies, Liberty Hall will host a screening of "Phantom of the Opera" with live piano accompaniment, reviving its role as an opera house.
The building initially opened as a movie theater in the 1924-1925 season. This year, Liberty Hall launched a series to mark its centennial, screening a different 1925 silent movie each month.
Liberty Hall's history as the Bowersock Opera House adds to the eerie atmosphere of the black-and-white horror film.
According to the Spencer Research Library, the building was renovated in 1882 by Bowersock and later burned down in an electrical fire in 1911.
