I'm betting you've got your Argento Operas mixed - "Opera" isn't really related to the Phantom at all (aside from a few little references). It's more of a giallo, came out in '87...one of my favourites from him, and happens to be on the good ol' Top 100.

Then 11 years later, he decided to adapt Phantom in it's entirety. Fucking awful movie...not only one of Argento's worst, but probably the worst take on Phantom that I've seen.
