Grace Cathedral is an iconic San Francisco landmark perched atop Nob Hill. The beautiful cathedral is used not only for religious services but also regularly hosts arts and culture programs, including live music. This weekend, the cathedral will host a special screening of the classic movie Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, accompanied by a live organ concert.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at Grace Cathedral
On Friday, October 30, the historic cathedral will open its doors for a screening of the 1920 silent film adaptation of the famed novella, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Professional organist and composer Dorothy Papadakos will play a score to accompany the film on the cathedral’s incredible pipe organ. The organ concert and movie screening will start at 8 p.m. on Friday and run until 9:30 p.m., and is the perfect chance to start Halloween weekend with live music and an iconic film. Tickets for the concert cost between $25 and $35 and are available online.
Grace Cathedral boasts a 7,466-pipe Aeolian-Skinner organ that was installed in 1934. The cathedral regularly hosts organ recitals and a wide variety of musicians for events like the upcoming movie screening.
Grace Cathedral is centrally located in Nob Hill, surrounded by many major landmarks, bars, and restaurants. Before the show, we recommend grabbing dinner at the cozy Italian spot Back to Back, and after the show, grab a drink at the Tonga Room in the Fairmont Hotel or take in city views at Top of the Mark.
