‘Mahler’ (1974) – A Film by Ken Russell

November 13 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$15.00 – $30.00

Join us for a rare screening of Mahler (1974), Ken Russell’s audacious and visually stunning portrait of composer Gustav Mahler. Winner of the Technical Grand Prize at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival, Mahler is widely regarded as one of Russell’s most stirringly imaginative films. Set during the composer’s final days in 1911, the film follows Mahler (Robert Powell) and his wife Alma (Georgina Hale) on a train journey, during which the story of his life, loves, and inner turmoil unfolds through a dreamlike series of flashbacks. Hale’s performance as Alma Mahler earned her a 1975 BAFTA (Most Promising Newcomer to Leading Film Roles).

Russell’s signature style, blending emotional intensity with surrealist imagery, brings Mahler’s complex world to life: his struggles with antisemitism, his painful family history, his passionate yet strained relationship with Alma, and the shadow of his declining health. Featuring powerful performances and a rich musical backdrop, Mahler offers a deeply human and visually bold tribute to one of music’s great visionaries. Don’t miss this special opportunity to experience the film on the big screen with fellow Wagner and Mahler enthusiasts.

Program Change: This film replaces Hilan Warshaw’s ‘Mahler in New York’ which is under exclusive entry at a film festival and will be shown by WSNY at a later date.
Schedule: Doors at 6:30 p.m., film from 7:00-9:00 p.m. followed by a social hour with refreshments.
