Opera House
The party visits the Opera House to execute a scheme where Celes impersonates the lead diva Maria, drawing out the gambler Setzer in order to commandeer his airship. Players must direct Celes through her musical verses and stage blocking before racing across the ceiling rafters to stop Ultros from crushing her with a massive weight. In the World of Ruin, the party can return to the venue to drop onto the stage and confront the Earth Dragon.

Enemies
A green rat encountered in the rafters that attacks in packs and can flee if struck by spells without dying.
A yellow rat found in the rafters that summons reinforcements if all Stunners are defeated before it is eliminated.
A boss who sneaks into the overhead catwalks with a four-ton weight and fights the party once they drop together onto the stage.
One of the Eight Legendary Dragons fought on the stage in the World of Ruin, yielding a Magus Rod when defeated.
Tips
- Choose Celes's lyric lines beginning with "O my hero," "I'm the darkness," and "Must my," as failing the performance sequence four times triggers an immediate Game Over.
- In the rafter battles against the five-minute timer, eliminate the yellow Goetia first to stop them from calling in fresh Stunners.
- Equip characters with Angel Wings or Gaia Gear before fighting the Earth Dragon to negate damage from Earth-elemental attacks like Quake and Magnitude 8.
