- "I went to the Imperial Opera and treated myself to their production of The Agony of Tarkin. Spectators proved more amusing than the theatre at times."
- ―Mara Jade
The Agony of Tarkin was an opera performed by the Imperial Opera Company.[1] It was about the death of Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin, who perished aboard the first Death Star during the Battle of Yavin.[2]
The opera was running on Imperial Center during 4 ABY. The production used a huge stage, glowing in pink light, and a stellar backdrop. It also allowed attendees in balcony seats to view close-up shots of the performance via holograms.[1]
During this period, Mara Jade treated herself to a viewing of The Agony of Tarkin during a vacation from her duties as Emperor's Hand. After the opera's conclusion, Jade attended a reception along with other guests to the opera, many of whom were Imperial officers.[1]
