1931 Film "Frankenstein" with Music by Michael Shapiro

Live accompaniment by the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra “It’s a classical movie but a contemporary composition, which gives it a completely different kind of emotional underpinning.” – Michigan Record-Eagle This 1931 masterpiece of horror was originally released without a musical score, which inspired composer Michael Shapiro to fill in the void by creating an original new soundtrack. As the classic film plays on the big screen, Jacinda Bouton of the Lone Tree Symphony will conduct Shapiro’s gorgeous and atmospheric score, making this the ultimate audience experience for a truly iconic film. For today’s audiences, Shapiro’s haunting music adds significantly to the emotional impact of the film. Attend in your best spooky attire! We’ll be having a costume contest in the event hall at 7pm, prior to the show. Whoever has the best costume will win a Via Baci gift card! Costumes are obviously encouraged and welcome, but please do not wear full face coverings (masks or face paint) or bring any weapons (real or fake). 2026-2027 Main Stage Season Please note that this performance is not included in the Lone Tree Symphony season.
