Okay, here's a little more "classiness" for you uncultured thugs :-)

The Unreal Civic Opera House could more aptly be called the REAL Theatre of Death, unlike Sally's map, this truly is an Opera House styled after a Victorian era English theatre set somewhere (near Big Ben) in London.

There's a definite Phantom of the Opera thing going on here, but you'll find that out for yourself.

The music - brief samples sung by the gorgeous Wilhelmenia Fernandez is from the movie "Diva" where she plays a celebrated Opera singer "Cynthia Hawkin" who does not allow her voice to be recorded in the belief that her music is for her audience alone and not meant to be packaged, copied and sold on the mass market.

She is quite literally one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever beheld.

"Diva" by the way means "Prima Donna" or the principle character in an Opera. "Dame" is an honorary rank bestowed upon women similar to a Knighthood.

The portraits in the map (there should be two versions at the time of this printing) don't really go, they are really too big and overpowering and detract from the consistency of the rest of the piece, but I had all these really great pictures and frames laying around that I wanted to put into a haunted house map so I decided to try them in this map. It sort of lop sides the whole thing, but who cares. Hence I made two versions. One with, one without. Take your pick.

Bot paths are enabled, there is easily enough room for about 4 or 5 players and overall it's a pretty nice little piece, done in about 3 days, it just has a comfy uniform feel to it and it sounds great.

The Curtain is yours,
