Experience the classic 1922 silent film "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" as it was meant to be seen, accompanied live by the Babylon Orchester Berlin performing Hans Erdmann's original score, newly arranged by Hans Brandner in 2018. This haunting masterpiece tells the story of Count Orlock, a vampire plague spreading from the East who arrives by ship from the Black Sea seeking fresh blood in the German town of Wisborg. The film follows young Hutter's nightmarish journey to Transylvania and his terrifying return home, culminating in a tragic sacrifice that represents humanity's struggle against the forces of death and decay.
This legendary film, which narrowly survived destruction after a plagiarism lawsuit over Bram Stoker's Dracula, is now recognized as the mother of all vampire films. Presented with German intertitles and English subtitles, the production combines the visual horror of Murnau's cinema with a live orchestral score, creating an immersive symphonic journey that transforms vampirism into a powerful metaphor for war and the eternal conflict between the living and the dead.
