Experience the ultimate classic horror event as the iconic 1922 silent film "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" is screened with a live orchestral accompaniment by Babylon Orchester Berlin. This unique presentation features the original score by Hans Erdmann newly arranged by Hans Brandner in 2018, complete with German intertitles and English subtitles. The film follows young Hutter's terrifying journey to Transylvania to meet the mysterious Count Orlock, only to discover that the nobleman is actually the vampire Nosferatu, who plans to bring plague and death to Hutter's hometown of Wisborg.
The film explores vampirism as a metaphor for the war between death and life, with salvation possible only through the ultimate sacrifice of a devoted woman. Originally condemned to destruction due to copyright infringement of Bram Stoker's "Dracula," this masterpiece survived in foreign archives and is now recognized as the mother of all vampire films. This live orchestral performance transforms the haunting visuals and timeless tale into an unforgettable sensory experience that captures the essence of early cinema horror and artistic genius.
