“Opus is not a book; it’s a concerto. A triumphant opera whose score is made up of cars, technology, history and achievements, and whose heroes will live on forever,” says Antonio Ghini, Editor In Chief of the Ferrari Magazine and Creative Advisor on the project, “Opus, like Ferrari, is a unique experience.”
Opus is also producing The Official Journey To Makkah Opus, a special publication which celebrates the holy pilgrimage of Hajj, reflecting the rich intellectual and theological tradition of Islam. The unique Opus work will be launched in Riyadh in the latter part of 2012.
