[edit] Secrets

• On the right side of the opera house, there is a door (which requires a key) at the end. Enter this door and enter the wooden door located before the stairs. In the right corner there are two shelves. Push the left shelf. Reward: Doctor´s Bag, Cloak of Invisibility. (NOTE: This secret doesn´t increase the secret´s count, possibly due to a bug, so your best bet will be 3/4 secrets at level stats)
  
• On the upper floor of the opera house, there is a poster of a unicorn between two candles. This poster is an illusion, walk into it. Reward: Life seed
• In the Dressing Room, open the cabinet, and push the wall behind the clothes. Reward: box of shells, drum of bullets
• In the room with the Dagger Key, play the piano. The bookshelves behind you will spin around. Reward: nothing.

• The marquee on the opera house reads The Phantasm of the Opera. This is a reference to the book-cum-musical The Phantom of the Opera.
• If you try to use the piano near the entrance of the Opera house, Caleb will utter "Don't play it again, Sam" - a play on the title of the movie Play It Again, Sam (1972).
• The small café opposite the Opera House offers on the blackboard menu 'Worm Ridden Filth'. This is what Han Solo calls Jabba The Hutt in Return of the Jedi (1983). The price is $6.66, the number of the Beast in the Book of Revelations, as famously referenced in The Omen (1976).
