The Paradise Lost Opera on Youtube is complete as a first version. It is 1080 quality. It will be improved when I have time. It was created using AI programs to animate parts such as creating moving images of my art. I think that as AI becomes even more capable (very shortly), more can be done. The lyrics for the opera are mine based upon my Acrostic Paradise Lost.

Lyrics sound great, which means my Acrostics are great (in my opinion). I think it is a “dashing” 40 minute production. It is not too long to be boring and I think some of it will be surprising. It is a pop opera that anyone can enjoy. Some of it is a bit risqué.
My art in Heavy Metal Magazine was the first introduction of my Paradise Lost to the general public. Copies are now in rare book collections. https://www.tumblr.com/search/lindall%20terrance?src=typed_query
Past projects were:
1) Hardcover synopsized version of Paradise Lost that was in the window of Bretano’s Bookstore (then the world’s largest) in Manhattan at Fifth and Madison Avenue. It sold out. Brentano's was founded as an independent bookstore in New York City in 1853 by August Brentano, who established a newsstand in front of the New York Hotel (great story on Wikipedia).
2) The Gold Scroll: The painting illuminates idea on the nature of "God's Perfect Mercy." Giclee print copies are now in some of the world's foremost collections including: 1) Huntington Library in California, Gift Purchased by Distinguished Professor Joseph Wittreich, noted Milton scholar and collector.
The Huntington's highlights include one of the world's most extensive collections of William Blake material, most notably Blake's original illustrations for Milton's Paradise Lost.

3) Gold Elephant Folio: In 2011 and 2012 Terrance Lindall completed work on production of "The Paradise Lost Elephant Folio," a 24 k. gold illuminated 13 x 19 inch book containing 14 full-page Giclee print illustrations with hand-painted borders using Museo II paper manufactured by Crane's, which company makes the paper for our currency. The borders of the elephant folio are complete paintings in themselves. Although the border art focuses principally on elements of design, they also tell stories or make commentary about what is illustrated in the featured central paintings. The borders also are tributes to humanity's great achievements, such as music, dance and architecture, as well as tribute to those individuals and institutions and friends who have had important influences on Lindall's ideas, or who have shown substantial support or affinity. There are only two copies in existence. One is in the collection of the Yuko Nii Foundation and the other is in the world's most comprehensive Milton collection, the Robert J. Wickenheiser collection in the University of South Carolina Library, now available: https://www.biblio.com/search.php?order=pricedesc&dealer_id=2802564
