A Modern Day Use of Opera

BioShock - The Ocean On His Shoulders

Final Fantasy VI

Both are video games of the modern age. Opera is used in both to add a suspense, dramatic filled scene in the game. Opera, which in its prime, was a mixture of arts including dance, song, and design, was the form of entertainment which really brought out the emotions of the audience depending on the opera. In both of these games, the opera music adds an eerie, frightening feel which also brings out the emotions of the player. This makes the player relate more to the game, just from hearing the music and relating the sound to story.
