Experience Charlie Chaplin with the Royal Northern Sinfonia
BOOK NOW: Experience the timeless magic of Charlie Chaplin accompanied by Royal Northern Sinfonia
Experience the timeless magic of Charlie Chaplin on the big screen with a special showing of City Lights accompanied by Royal Northern Sinfonia on Friday 17th March 2023. Ranked 16th in Time magazine’s ‘The 100 best movies of all time’, City Lights is a charming romantic comedy following the Little Tramp (Chaplin) as he falls in love with a blind flower girl (Virgina Cherrill) and forms an unusual friendship with a millionaire (Harry Myers).
Released in 1931 just as Hollywood moved from silent films to “talkies”, the film has no spoken dialogue but does have a full orchestral soundtrack, written by Chaplin himself, which matches and highlights the on-screen action. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see and hear it live.
If you’d like to really get into the silent film spirit, come along to the Sage Gateshead Concourse before the show. Enjoy our popcorn stand, don some 1930s accessories for the photobooth, and watch a walkaround performance by a professional mime artist (impersonating Charlie Chaplin) from 1800-1900.
Friday 17th March, 7.30pm | Sage One
