Arizona Opera Summer Film Series at the Phoenix Art Museum
Set sail for adventure with the sixth annual Arizona Opera Summer Film Series presented in partnership with Phoenix Art Museum's Movies at the Museum.
Gilbert and Sullivan's comedy The Pirates of Penzance inspired this year's series, celebrating the dashing and dangerous swashbucklers of the silver screen.
July 18: The Black Pirate
This silent masterpiece filmed in early Technicolor introduced the world to the original suave and swarthy swashbuckler, Douglas Fairbanks. With his daring athleticism and devilish good looks, Fairbanks created the mold for all future big-screen buccaneers. As a young nobleman intent on revenge, he infiltrates a pirate band to become the fearless and feared Black Pirate and performs one of cinema's greatest feats of derring-do, sliding down and slicing the ship's sails with his dagger.
1926 -- silent with English intertitles. 88 minutes.
August 15: Captain Blood
The dashing Errol Flynn stars as Dr. Peter Blood, an Englishman falsely accused of treason and sentenced to slavery in the West Indies. Through bravado and cunning he escapes to become the feared pirate Captain Blood and sets sail on a rousing adventure with a fearsome group of runaway slaves, encountering gorgeous heroines in peril and thrilling sea battles, all set to an appropriately heart-pounding score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold (music often heard on KBAQ).
1935 -- in English. 119 minutes.
September 26: Treasure Island
Robert Louis Stevenson’s tale fired the imagination of generations of children with visions of treasure maps marked with an “X”, buried plunder, peg-legged pirates named Long John Silver, and salty wisecracking parrots. Jackie Cooper stars as the young Jim Hawkins who unknowingly sets sail with a motley crew of cutthroats for the adventure of a lifetime.
1934 -- in English. 103 minutes.
Each screening begins at 1PM. Films are free with museum admission and are shown in the Whiteman Auditorium at the Phoenix Art Museum; seating is on a first-come, first-seated basis.
