Here is a music video for the latest single release entitled 'Where Falcons Fly' by the the band Operus. The footage was shot at the Hell and Heaven festival and the Wacken Open Air festival in 2018.

Where Falcons Fly is the second single release from the album 'A Score of Nightmares' which will be released by Sony Music on June 19, 2020. The first single was entitled 'La Llorona' and is written based on the legend from Latin American folklore, specifically Mexican. La Llorona tells the tale of the weeping woman (the Ghost of Maria), a woman of famed beauty whom in a fit of rage drowned her children in a river as a result of her husband turning his attention to a younger woman. Realizing what she had done, Maria took her own life by drowning herself in the very same river. Since that day Llorona's cries can be heard as she looks for her children in search of forgiveness often causing misfortune to those who are near or hear her screams. The album 'A Score of Nightmares', features a blend of Classical, Heavy Metal, and Hard Rock music. 

Operus band members include: David Michael Moote (vocals), Oscar Rangel (guitar), Dean Paul Arnold (guitar), Wojciech Sokolowski (bass), Robin Howe (cello), and JJ Tartaglia (drums). The lead singer David Michael Moote is a graduate of the Schulich School of Music at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
