Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe idea of the pins-under-the-eyes torture device came from a joke of Argento's. Argento said it would annoy him when people would look away during the scary scenes in his films. He would jokingly suggest taping pins under people's eyes so they couldn't look away from the film. It would late materialize on the screen for this film.
- GoofsIn the killer's POV shot entering the costume workshop, the camera and camera dolly are seen in a mirror on the right.

Featured review
Mostly I would recommend Opera because of the fine visuals, style and atmosphere, and because it is one of the better movies of Mr. Argento outside of the Three Mother trilogy box (Susperia, Inferno, The Mother of Tears). If you are interested in the works of Dario Argento, Opera belongs rightfully on your list.
