Attending an opera may not be your idea of a perfect date. However, it is the best place to watch an emotional and sentimental outburst, given the tragic stories that operas demonstrate. For a fulfilling experience, you need to keep in mind certain tips. Read on to know more:

1.Get the gist of the story beforehand - If you're visiting an opera for the first time, you will not know the story at all. Chances are good that you will not understand anything the first time you see the opera. Therefore, make sure that you get the gist of the story beforehand that will also help you decide if you want to watch the opera in the first place. You can get the gist of the story from any of the ticket booking portals or through any other print or digital media.

2.Select the right opera - Imagine you're with your date and you go to a tragic opera that only makes you cry. Now that may just spoil a perfect date. So you need to select the right opera that's both romantic and enjoyable. If you're going out with your family as well as your kids, you need to select an opera of a genre they like. Make sure that you do not carry children under age 10 to operas as they are too young to understand what the show is all about.

3.Visit the restroom beforehand - Make sure you are absolutely free when you're out watching the opera. That's because any kind of distraction will make you lose out on the precious moments of the opera. You may even miss out on the plot if you visit the restroom while the opera is going on. Any form of recreation you wish to experience right from eating to talking to people and attending calls, make them before the opera starts. Operas are generally very long, hence make sure you are ready for it by engaging in all the other activities before the opera starts.

4.Reach the venue early - If you reach early, you'll get to mingle with all the new people right from the big shots to other like minded people. An opera is a great place to make new friends and establish a social circle. Therefore reaching the venue early will only do you good in every way.

5.Have a look at the orchestra before the opera starts - The musicians are generally hidden from audience view while the opera is in progress. Therefore if you wish to watch the scene behind the screen, you need to reach early and see the orchestra. Since an opera is all about music, you will feel really satisfied after visiting the band.

Keep the above tips in mind before you visit an opera. Enjoy!
