The Alamo here in Austin used to commission scores for movies to be played live. You ain’t seen Nosferatu until you’ve heard it live (also, the Alamo has a variable speed projector and can show it properly). Unfortunately, they commissioned a score for City Lights, which Chaplin specified was only to use his score. The Chaplin Estate went after them big time and they don’t do that any more.
