Season 3: Episode 89 - EUROPEAN HORROR: Argento's Opera (1987)

Dario Argento's Opera (1987)

 

Dario Argento’s classic film Opera is considered the most commercially successful of all of Argento’s work.  The music is composed by Brian Eno, Claudio Simonetti and Bill Wyman.  The plot focuses on murders in an opera house by a masked assailant.  Taking his experiences of directing the opera of Macbeth, Argento would be inspired to take his experiences and bring them to the screen.

 

The film stars Cristina Marsillach, Urbano Barberini and Ian Charleston.  The film would have exciting set pieces and would capitalize on Argento death scenes that would be cut upon various releases throughout the world but have since have been reinstated in new releases in the film.  The film is presented in THX film and audio.
