From BoardGameGeek
In Operaopoly, players are wealthy patrons from the golden age of opera (c. 1800 - 1932), sponsoring the era's most talented composers (Verdi, Wagner, Bizet) and producing their operas in iconic opera houses of Europe. Each performance earns sponsoring player's profits measured in victory points. Rise to the level of Impresario and direct composers to follow your tactics. Selecting the best opera houses, casting talented artists, and deciding when an opera will have its final run of performances are just a few things successful Impresarios must master to win the game. Operaopoly uses set collection, resource management, and hand management mechanics that gradually reveal new player abilities and action options. Impresario and Producer bonuses offer engaging win-win scenarios that spark player collaboration. You decide where and when to invest or reserve resources - advancing your influence throughout Europe and preventing others from monopolizing composers and their operas. -description from designer
