About

Often described as Dario Argento's last masterpiece, Opera is a virtuosic display from arguably giallo's finest director. The film is delivered with clockwork precision, bursting with style and bloody set-pieces that rank among the director's best.

The film's plot follows Betty, a young opera singer who gets her big break after the production's original star is injured in a car accident. Her moment of triumph becomes an ordeal, however, when an obsessed murderer begins terrorising the set.

Opera rollicks along relentlessly as Betty tries desperately to stop the murders. The powerful soundtrack was composed by Argento regular Claudio Simonetti, alongside former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman and the legendary Brian Eno. The film's mystery translated to massive box office success and marked a culmination of the stylistic and thematic threads that Argento had been cultivating in giallo cinema.
