Opera House …continued

Above and Below
Once you're through the door and up the ladder, you'll find yourself above a suspicious-looking rooftop of sorts.

Those boards don't look too stable. Better not dally. At all. Stand here, then run and jump until you've safely grabbed the firm stone ledge.

Once past the shaky boards and on firm footing, turn right and work your way down the corridor. Draw your favorite close-combat weapon before you drop to the rooftop above the Opera House. Lots of bad guys lurk in the shadows. Keep moving, just stay away from any dark pits - falling in one means instant death.

Once the hubbub subsides, get yourself into position before the swinging box alcove.

Access to the interior of the Opera House begins here. Aim for the area just to the left of the box. This is the correct position, so if you miss, simply back flip up to the dome and try again.

In the dark pit past the death box is a switch. Pull it to release a trapdoor into the Opera House - and a couple of bad guys. Once inside the Opera House's control room, pull the left knife switch to get on with the mission.

The left switch opens the gate to escape this control room; and the Circuit Board that ultimately grants access to the end of this mission is just over Lara's right shoulder. The right switch operates the curtain - but there won't be any curtain calls until you get the Circuit Board.

Drop through the opening in the fencing and hang a left. Push the button on the far wall to return the gate to its original position. (The patch of bright light illuminates the switch's location.) Climb the ladder - and the gate - until you're even with the control room. Work your way left, and step onto the ledge to behold the fabled Opera House.

	Note This Opera House is in a serious state of disrepair, so watch out for falling sandbags and rolling boulders.
