The Long Awaited ‘Opera’ Mediabook is Just About Here!
Opera is my personal favorite film from the legendary Dario Argento. It’s nearly perfect in every way and yet, sadly it’s never received a proper Blu-ray release. Japan released the film on Blu-ray a while back but by all accounts it’s not a great release. In fact it’s considered to be quite poor. Rumors had been floating around that Koch Media had a release in the works and now we can officially confirm that! Arriving on November 24, 2015 will be a 3-disc mediabook release of Opera from Koch Media out of Germany. As far as I know this is a Region B release, but I haven’t seen a confirmation on that. Koch Media has released all region stuff in the past, so we can hope for the best! Release details below!
