It's generally pretty easy to understand what's going on, even if you don't
know Italian or German.   And as Dwayne noted, most of the warhorses are
pretty well known by now.  It's the music and the spectacle that makes the
experience worthwhile - up to a point.  I once attended a prize-winning
performance of *Parsifal* and thought I was going die of tedium before it
finally ended.  Some great music, but - damn!
