Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde (1920 silent film) with Organist Aaron Hawthorne
Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre
Fancy watching a film where the soundtrack is composed live, in the same room as you? This year is exactly 106 years since the release of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde in 1920. International, multi-award-winning organist Aaron Hawthorne will be thrilling audiences with his inimitable live improvisational accompaniment to this spine-chilling film. Featuring the thunderous Compton pipe organ of Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre, this spooky night out is the perfect Halloween season (trick or) treat!
Aaron Hawthorne has quickly made a name for himself as one of the UK's favourite accompanists for silent film. He has been invited to perform his improvised accompaniments across venues in the UK, mainland Europe and the USA. This is Aaron’s second UK+ silent film tour, having toured withThe Phantom of the Opera (1925)in 2021, and Nosferatuin 2022, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 2023 and last year The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, which left intergenerational audiences wowed and craving more of this “not-on-Netflix” experience.
