Opera - An Empire of Night

An Empire of Night Returns Home

Excerpt from the New Playbill Bulletin, the number one BBS for live entertainment in Night City.
The award winning New York Traveling Minstrels along with the Night City Orchestra present the modern epic, "An Empire of Night", at the esteemed Arasaka Eden venue.
An Empire of Night follows the illustrious business man Richard Night as he uproots his family and moves them to the middle of a warring state guided by his dream of a better tomorrow and his vision for the greatest city on Earth. Watch as the towers erupt from Richard's mind into the sky, and his plan for a perfect city is built brick by brick, deal by deal, only to scatter into ash as the vengeful crime lords seek him out to collect what is theirs.
Empire of Night is a gripping tail from start to finish of a brilliant man who was murdered before the construction of his legacy was able to finish.

The Show Must Go On

The crew enters through the doors of the Arasaka tower, a steel monolith dominating the corporate center. Passing through the glass entryway, beams of light wash over you as wire x-ray like images appear in front of you. The image blinks red and green, a brief glimpse of a weapon appears before going dark. One of the guards slaps at a hand held computer device. With an exhausted cough and a nod, he allows you to pass. Large blast doors, black marks and scratches across their face, block your way deeper into the building. Armored guards scan your tickets and wordlessly signal you to enter a large steel elevator large enough to fit a vehicle.
In silence and with uncanny speed the elevator rises. With a soft chime the doors open and you step in to what you can only believe is a dream.
The air is crisp and clean, the smell of fresh grass electrifies the air. You step out onto real stone, everything around you is coarse with reality and void of the plastic dullness that permeates the synthetic materials your accustomed.
Lights dance over the stone and metal from large holographic dragons slipping in and out of a glowing night city that hangs in the sky and off the sides of the building. The classy and important of night city mingle and discuss what's next in their plans for Night City.
The neon sign in front of you says "Welcome to Eden. Tonight's show, An Empire of Night."
