The Opera Singer is a short but emotional film by Steve Kahn about an elderly lady who regrets never going to Italy to sing opera when she was younger. The first person narrator tells of how she has become less mobile because of an unfortunate accident. She never thought that she would end up like this.

Scenes are filmed with images that portray the same heart felt lament that the narrator’s voice and her words provide. This brief look into this woman’s life is captivating and sad, making us as the viewer consider not to waste any chances we may have, for fear of looking back in regret like she does.

Opera (Italian: [ˈɔːpera]; English plural: operas; Italian plural: opere [ˈɔːpere]) is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text (libretto) and musical score, usually in a theatrical setting. In traditional opera, singers do two types of singing: recitative, a speech-inflected style^[2] and arias, a more melodic style. Opera incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery, and costumes and sometimes includes dance. The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestraor smaller musical ensemble, which since the early 19th century has been led by a conductor.
