Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid live in Concert

A celebration of Charlie Chaplin’s Day today in the form of a live cine-concert, the last in Dubai Opera’s Film Week series: Chaplin’s silent movie classic from 1921 is accompanied by the full Armenian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Timothy Brock. A huge success in its time and now considered one of the great films of the silent era, The Kid – which of course stars Chaplin in his iconic tramp character, with Jackie Coogan as his adopted son and sidekick – was Chaplin’s first full-length film as a director.
