"The Opera" is an introspective, sharp look into the mind of a mad poet, confined to his apartment for a day. As the poet goes in and out of lucidity, we are offered a window inside his thoughts. His accounts range from childhood memories to current predicaments, to his fear and paranoia of the men he's convinced are following him. "The Opera" is a cultural and psychosocial critique of sanity, intellectual conformity, and the role of the artist in today's world.
