Abstract: The long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment OPERA has been designed for the direct observation of $\nu_\tau$ appearance in the CNGS $\nu_\mu$ beam.The OPERA detector is located at the LNGS underground laboratory, with a distance of $730 \, \mathrm{km}$ from the neutrino source at CERN. It is a hybrid detector, combining the micrometric precision of emulsion cloud chambers with electronic detector elements for online readout.While CNGS beam data taking lasted from 2008 to 2012, the neutrino oscillation analysis is still ongoing. Updated results with increased statistics are presented, including the recent observation of $\nu_\tau$ appearance at $4.2 \, \sigma$.
