A browser superior to [Internet Explorer] and its creators, who favor proprietary "HTML" over the W3C's standards.

Opera is better than Internet Explorer. Actually, snail mail is, too.

A very fine browser, perhaps the best one out there, with nicer users than [Firefox].

Opera's users don't try to forcefully convert people like Firefox's users.

5. (opera) (148↑, 28↓)

A style of [theater]/[drama] in which the characters [sing] all or most of their lines. The story is usually simpler than that of movie plots, since it takes longer to sing than to speak. The stories, perhaps [melodramatic] to our modern eyes, are as varied as movies; from lighthearted, [romantic] prances ("The Marriage of Figaro", "The Elixer of Love"); heartbreaking romantic tragedies ("La Boheme". "Madame Butterfly", "Aïda"); and some almost x-rated shockers ("Elektra"(much like the Mendez brothers case), "Salome"). Operas are often quite true to life and often deal with some of the most difficult choices that a person can make; matters of life and death, in other words. ...Of course, the plot is much more dramatic than in reality. Opera relies on voice types (unlike movies, which rely on appearance): [Soprano]: highest [female] voice; plays the heroine, the sweetheart, the victim woman. [Mezzo-soprano]: medium female voice; plays the villainess, seductresses. [Contralto]: lowest female voice; very rare, usually limited to maids, mothers, grandmothers, and witches. [Tenor]: highest [male] voice: plays the hero, the lover, the doomed hero. Usually romances the soprano. [Baritone]: medium male voice; plays the villain, evil prison wardens, and other mean ones. [Bass]: lowest male voice; plays priests, kings, fathers, and the [Devil]. Opera houses are theaters designed especially for opera... and don't be surprised to find a (rather sexy) [tuxedo]-clad [ghost] wandering the dark recesses of the opera house, living his life away on a lake beneath the theater.

Opera is a grim world; there's competition all over for parts... and not to mention some rather unusual situations: tantrums and refusals to do something that the director wants to be staged. What's the difference between a soprano and a terrorist? -You can negotiate with a terrorist.;) "He's here\! The Phantom of the Opera\!"

A superior form of entertainment in which most of the characters' lines are sung. Not many young people like opera, because their brains are so clogged by [rap] and [sex] that they are unable to appreciate the dignity and beauty of opera.

One famous opera is Don Giovanni, by Mozart.

Fastest browser and lightest one I know of between IE7 and Firefox. People seem to underrate this browser, it's less than 8MB yet manages to hold a bittorent downloader, email client, magic wand features, and endless customization to the interface along with thousands of widgets and themes (skins) you can choose from on their site. Most stuff Firefox has or just added, has been intergrated with Opera for years.

9. (opera) (33↑, 2↓)

A form of theatre in which all, or at least most, of the lines are sung rather than spoken. They are commonly written in Italian, German, and French. However, there are also Czech, Chinese, Russian, and English operas. Frequently, the three largest roles are given to a soprano, a bass, and a tenor. A soprano is a female singer with the highest vocal range. There are, however, many different types of sopranos, each suited to certain roles. A bass is a male singer with the lowest range. An example of a very good bass voice is Nicolai Ghiaurov. A tenor is a male singer with the highest vocal range. Often, they are the hero of the story and are in love with the soprano's character. The plots range from a light-hearted comedy such as "La Fille du Regiment" (The Daughter of the Regiment) to tragedies such as "Aida" or "La Boheme". The music is often difficult to sing, though some arias are easier than others. I would not recommend attempting to sing any of them without training, however. Contrary to what some people believe, singing opera takes a great deal of work and skill and hitting all those high notes, which many people refer to as shrieking, is certainly not easy. If you intend to go to the opera, it is a good idea to read the story first. Whether you have the story in a book or find it online, it tends to be more enjoyable if you know the story. Especially if you aren't a great opera fan and are simply going because some one you know wants you to accompany them.

Notable opera singers are: Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, Joan Sutherland, Nicolai Ghiaurov, Maryline Horne, Maria Callas, Renee Fleming, Angela Gheorgiu, Roberto Alagna, and Jose Carreras.

1. The fastest Internet Browser available. Faster than Mozilla Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7 in all tests, but still only 1% of people use it. 2. Some gay kind of concert that rich people go to where they have to wear special glasses just to see the stage.

Example 1: guy 1: Dude\! Firefox is the fastest browser on the planet. I can't believe you're still using IE7. guy 2: Dude\!\! Opera 9 is the fastest in all tests, and is more cutting edge than both of them. guy 1: Oh... well I'm just going off of what my Firefox cult tells me. They didn't mention Opera. Example 2: Guy 1: Dude\! Where did you take your girlfriend yestarday on your date? Guy 2: I took her to the Opera. I wanted her to assume I was both rich and an intellectual. Guy 1: Well... Did it work? Guy 2: Ohhhh yea\!

Though it only owns about 20% of the global browser market share, it's quite possibly the best browser available. Unlike Internet Explorer, it's secure. Unlike Firefox, it's fast. Unlike Safari, it actually works. It meets W3C Web Standards, and got a higher score than any other browser on the Acid 3 test.

Opera is the browser of choice, by Jesus Christ himself.

Opera is a web browser that is superior to [FireFox] and [Internet Explorer] in many ways. Its a lot more secure and feature-filled than both and unlike FireFox is small and quick, not a horrible resource hog that requires every extention imaginable to be functional and/or useful. http://www.opera.com

I'm browsing Urban Dictionary using the keyboard and voice recognition found in Opera.

An fast internet browser which only renders standards compliant code. Since a large portion of websites rely on non-standard code, Opera is out of touch with the real world.

In a perfect world Opera would be the browser of choice. Until then, many developers will sadly find it easier to block opera browsers.

The most demanding form of music, singing and theater. It is too much for 99% of all the people alive today because they only have shit in their heads and only two neurons. It is beyond their understanding because they are all sheep: mindless animals that dance to rock, rap and other third class music that will be quickly forgotten in the next 50 years because they don't have the brain power to understand opera. Opera has the best singers in the world, no other singers can match opera singers because opera demands it's singers to sing not only live but with out the help of the microphone and over an orchestra of at least 80 peaces. Opera has only one true goddes: María Callas. Next to her cheap whores like Beyonce, Shakira, Britney Spears, Xtina, Janet Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Lady Rip OFf... i mean Lady Ga Ga and the rest of skanks of that type don't hold a candle. Callas alone with her GARGANTUAN voice could drown all of the other bitches if all of them sang together at the same time.

Pop, rock and specially rap music are trash unlike the refined matchless art call opera.

A form of 'non-music' theater. Music wasn't invented until 1980 odd with the creation of rap. Women weren't allowed on stage during Shakesphere times which is when most old people today came from. So all the women in bikinis, riding in the cars in each opera'like you see on MTV were really men\! Which means non-heterosexuals enjoy this. Those creatures on strange pierce the ears of anyone apart from the deaf old people that listen to this. Only old people like opera and all old people are deaf. Coincidence? If they had rap to listen to when they were younger, maybe they would be living normal lives pinpim' thier rides and hoes and shooting one another. Instead of watching castrated gay men. The tennors sing (NOT rap\!?\!?\!) at a high pitched voice which means they are gay and thus disobeying the word of god and therefore it is your duty of moral Catholics to burn them using sticks of fire. Opera can be distingused by it's lack of turntables, abense of flow and non-gangsta style lyrics. Opera also consisted of very few black people because everyone was racist back then and all the black 'singers' weren't allowed to wear the same pretty hats as the white scum we allow to share our air. Most Opera tells a FAKE story because it is all a staged play unlike Vanilla Ice who speaks from the street and from the heart. The story is written by an old person that doesn't even know what 'shiznit' means (Yes, some people are that uneducateded.) This is every Opera song. "AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" That isn't rap\! That's just noise\! To all you old people who were born before 1970 and saw the big bang happening. Get some real music like Nelly and forget this so-called 'musicial theater' ever existed. Theater is for old, wrinkled art people anyway who don't like girls. Do rappers do theater? No, they do movies because everybody likes 'Cradle 2 the Grave" except my mother but she is dead now.
