Curtains Down

This time, Agent 47 is in Europe, checking out a practice of Tosca at the Paris Opera House. While he's there, he plans to take out the American ambassador and the opera singer himself.

Ticket Exchange
This mission can get complicated really quickly if you don't check your inventory and spot the coat-check ticket. When the level starts, walk into the opera house and head straight for the guard behind the desk and talk to him. He hands you the jacket and Agent 47 will pluck a very real World War I era pistol from it. This gun sets up the rest of the strategy.

Guard Duty
Once you've got the gun, it's time to find a guard's uniform. There are any number of ways, but if you're patient, take a breather in the bathroom and wait for a security guard to walk in. This might take a bit, but it's worth the wait. Once you take down the guard, steal his uniform and drop him in the box. Now you can walk nearly anywhere without disruption.

Alternatively, you can also steal a workman's uniform, but you'll have to be more careful where you go.

Prop Replacement
Take the door on the other side of the coat-check station, head down the stairs, and then make your way to the northern most stair set (check the map). After you make it up the second set of stairs, check the map again and head for the highlighted Interest Point. This is the dressing room for the "executioner."

Hide in the closet here and wait for him to drop in and drop off his gun on the table. When he leaves for a moment, swap out the stage pistol for the real one.

Precarious Chandelier
Now it's time to make your way through the door almost directly across from the actor's dressing room. Once through, all the way up the stairs and find the chandelier connection. Place a bomb here.

Accidents Happen
Now is the moment of truth. Make your way to any location where you can easily view the stage (there are a few locations on the second floor that work nicely). Wait for the actor to "accidentally" shoot the first target. After a few moments, there's a cinematic of the second target panicking and making his way down to the stage. He runs down the main aisle and trips just under the chandelier. Hit the detonator and crush him before he can get back up.

Skedaddle
Now it's just a matter of cleaning up your mess and getting out of town. Be sure to grab any special guns you may have left behind as well as your suit and then head out the front door as if nothing happened.
