If you can go and see an Opera I'd urge you to go, for the right opera its an unforgettable experience.
A little while ago when I was living near Stansted airport they were offering very cheap flights to Latvia, I booked a flight to Riga. They have a state Opera company which is subsidised. I saw Verdi's Nabucco and a couple of others for £5 a seat(in a box)! It was almost an out of body experience, just fantastic. Its nothing like watching on the telly. I think Italian operas are more interesting, German and Russian tend to be a bit heavier although everyone loves 'Ride of the Valkyrie's' from Mozart.

If you think it might be too much start off with some operetta like G&S, the nautical ones are very enjoyable.
