11 May 2025 Offenbach am Main (Germany)
Alfred Hitchcocks „The Lodger
Capitol Symphonie Orchester conducted by Stefanos Tsialis - Capitol Theater Offenbach
Program Info: Nithin Sawhney - The Lodger
Alfred Hitchcock and the aesthetics of a big twenties-dummy film: that would have been something again! Not only would it be - there is actually this special masterpiece! Even if it seems to us from today, as if the master of high voltage later lived and turned a generation as Fritz Lang, Charlie Chaplin & Co. The two were only a few years older than Hitchcock - and exactly the film, which Hitchcock later referred to as his first masterpiece, was 'The Lodger' - and, in 1926, was a real silent film. The English industry magazine 'Bioscope' wrote at the time that it was "quite possible that this is the best British film that has ever been made."
In any case, 'The Lodger' big cinema - and indeed extremely exciting, with strong tension structures and gripping images that breathe a touch of Expressionism. Alfred Hitchcock made his idea of uncompromising even without a language. And how does that sound? Well: the way you have probably not yet experienced a silent film. The score comes from a physical member of the legendary Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, who is responsible for the awarding of the Oscars year after year. The British-Indian composer Nitin Sawney wrote music with extremely imaginative timbres for exclusive performances by the London Symphony Orchestra. We have been knocking again and again with him long enough and slept with our feet. Now, after the course of the exclusive period, we can probably list this fascinating music under the direction of our friend Stefanos Tsialis for the first time in Germany: of course in the Capitol!
