🎟️ One Night at the Roxy
🦇 The Film and the Score
F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu, the 1922 silent horror film that follows Count Orlok from the Carpathians across the sea, returns to the big screen at Roxy Cinema in Tribeca on Friday, October 23. In place of a recorded soundtrack, the Andrew Alden Ensemble performs an original live score underneath the film, a chamber rock arrangement for violin, cello, keys, drums and voice. The screening runs about 95 minutes.
🎻 After the Credits
When the film ends, composer Andrew Alden stays for a Q&A about writing the score, and the night then moves into an informal reception at the bar. The Roxy is a single auditorium on the cellar level of the Roxy Hotel, with red seats and a row of marquee lights over the screen, which makes a century old horror film feel like an event again.
🗓️ Time, Tickets and Fit
The screening starts at 7 PM on Friday, October 23 at 2 Avenue of the Americas in Tribeca, with the cinema on the cellar level. The film runs about 95 minutes, then the Q&A and bar reception follow with no fixed end time, which leaves room to stay and talk. Tickets are sold through Roxy Cinema's online ticketing, and booking ahead is the safer move for a one night event. It suits horror fans, silent film regulars and anyone curious how live musicians change a film from 1922.
