Terror at the Opera (1987) is a chilling homage to the classic tale of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, directed by the renowned Italian horror maestro Dario Argento. The film centers around a masked assailant who becomes obsessed with a talented opera singer, driving her to the brink of madness. Cristina Marsillach portrays Betty, a young understudy who steps into the lead role of Verdi's Macbeth after the principal actress suffers an injury. Betty's stellar performance garners widespread praise but also draws the sinister attention of a hooded killer. This mysterious figure repeatedly abducts Betty, affixes razor blades beneath her eyes, and compels her to witness his gruesome crimes. While the film is celebrated for its stylistic flair, it is also known for its lack of coherence. However, within Argento's extensive filmography from the 1980s and 1990s, Terror at the Opera (1987) stands out as one of his more notable works.
