Celes's reaction to the plan.

The party gets a tip in Jidoor that Setzer, the owner of the world's only civilian airship, would be attempting to kidnap Maria from a performance of the opera. Locke comes up with the idea of disguising Celes, who resembles Maria, as the star of the opera so Setzer would abduct her instead of the real Maria. Celes and the Impresario are initially hesitant, but eventually agree.

Ultros overhears the plan, and sends a warning letter to Locke claiming to be Setzer that he will ruin the opera. He goes up onto the rafters and gets ready to drop a weight onto the stage in the middle of the production, ruining the show and their attempt to sneak aboard the airship.

Ultros shows up to ruin the opera.

Locke, who is in the dressing room cheering Celes on, finds the letter, warns the Impresario, and takes the party to meet Ultros. Ultros falls onto the stage, and in an attempt to keep the show going Locke pretends it is part of the opera. The party battles Ultros a second time, and when he is defeated, Setzer appears and kidnaps Celes as planned, taking her to the Blackjack.

A year later in the World of Ruin, the Impresario panics because the Earth Dragon, one of the eight legendary dragons, has taken up residence on the stage. By pulling one of four switches in the right wing, the party can drop onto the stage and battle the dragon. After defeating the dragon, the Impresario thanks them once more.

Behind the scenes

The Opera House glitch exclusive to the Japanese release of the original SNES version causes the world to revert to the World of Balance from the World of Ruin. To do this, the player must leave at least one of the rats in the rafters alive, then in the World of Ruin go up into the rafters, battle the rat, and lose. The party will reappear outside the Opera House in the World of Balance.

If the party brings Shadow to the Opera House, he'll leave. The reason for this, according to Impresario, is because "he'd fall asleep if he stayed for another 5 minutes".
