There’s nothing else like “OPERA.”
After the artistic successes of “TENEBRAE” and “PHENOMENA,” Dario Argento, known for “SUSPIRIA,” aimed to create the most accomplished Giallo of his career. And that’s exactly what he achieved.
“OPERA” follows Betty, a young opera singer who takes over the leading role in an avant-garde production of Verdi’s “Macbeth.” Unbeknownst to her, stepping into this role triggers the madness of a black-gloved maniac embarking on a mutilation spree at the opera house. Will Betty’s recurring nightmare hold the key to uncovering the psychopath’s identity, or is there an even more horrific evil lying in wait in the wings?
With its ultra-stylized photography, intricate metaphors, and intense violence, “OPERA” is a brilliantly deranged spectacle and stands as the most breathtaking horror experience of 1987.
