DESCRIPTION

A Severin Films 4K Restoration!

There’s nothing else like OPERA. After the artistic highs (and box office lows) of Tenebre and Phenemona, Dario Argento (Suspiria) was on a mission to make the most accomplished giallo of his career. And that’s exactly what he did. Opera follows Betty, the star of an avant-garde production of Macbeth, as she deals with a black-gloved maniac on a mutilation spree at the opera house. With its ultra-stylized photography, complex metaphors, and intense violence, Opera is a brilliantly deranged spectacle—and the most breathtaking horror experience of 1987.

Fantasporto: Best Film nominee!

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
