Get ready for an unbeatable blend of cinema and concert you won't find online! The Invincible Czars transform classic silent films into electrifying live experiences, blending our tastefully modern soundtracks with timeless movies. From art house cinemas to colleges, our shows have entertained audiences across the US and Canada. Using flute, clarinet, guitars, piano, drums and more, we craft music scores that perfectly complement each film's vibe, drawing inspiration from legends like Bernard Herrmann, Carl Stahling and Ennio Morricone. But our performances aren't just museum pieces—they're interactive, thrilling, and downright fun! Join us in spooky attire, howling, laughing, and even leaving your seat—it's all part of the show! And it doesn't stop there—we've got custom artwork, merch, and photo ops to make sure you can take the magic home. New for 2026, the Czars have written an electrifying score to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Faust, the first known film adaptation of Goethe's classic novel from 1808, itself based on an older European legend of an elderly alchemist who makes a pact with the devil to gain the power to protect his village from plague. Faust soon succumbs to temptation and asks Mephisto to restore his youth and help him acquire all the hedonistic pleasures that earth can offer. Eventually, his love affair with a young woman named Gretchen leads to tragic and devastating consequences for them both.
