I always say I will try just about anything at least once......and I've never been to an opera.....but I would go, just out of general curiousity!

I would have loved to have seen Madonna in Evita...or have a chance to see Jesus Christ Superstar or Tommy (rock operas).......but I don't consider that opera opera. Same thing with Pirates of Penzance, etc. that jseal had recommended. When I think of opera it's exactly what you described db.......sung in a language other than English.....a love story of sorts.....and the characters hitting notes that would shatter glass! Oh....and then there's the "fat lady" too...lol!

Just another of the many things I have yet to do to cross off my list of things I have never done! So glad you and Mrs. db got a chance to experience it. Sounds like it was lovely!
