Tucked away under a theatre stage in Adelaide's south lies a striking organ that ascends to stage level to entertain cinemagoers before movie screenings.
The organ rises up from under a stage in Adelaide's heritage-listed Capri Theatre before movie screeningsThis week marks 40 years since the organ first entertained South Australian audiences
"The organ was made in 1923 over in the United States — in effect, some parts of it are 100 years old," Mr Lange said. It took a few years to assemble the organ and on Easter Saturday in 1983, international theatre organists flew in to celebrate the Wurlitzer finding its permanent home at the Capri. International theatre organ musician Chris McPhee will be playing this Easter weekend, to mark the 40-year celebration since the organ first entertained SA audiences.
