Opera House
From Game Developer Research Institute
Around 1989 [1], Satoru Miki (三木暁) and Hiroyuki Fujiwara (藤原博之) established Opera House (オペラハウス) in Naka-Meguro, Tokyo, Japan. Major clients included Pony Canyon and ISCO.
Not to be confused with this Opera House or this one (at least we're pretty sure they're not related).
