I really do not know enough about opera to enjoy it. The only operas that I have experienced are ones that have been televised and I haven't been able to sit through that so going to one for me is out of the question. Although I enjoy Carmen and the odd snippets from other operas such as Madame Butterfly it isn't something that I would want to spend my money on for entertainment personally. I suppose it is a bit like ballet although the skill and talent is appreciated it isn't everyone's cup of tea.
