On average, an opera will last between 2 and 3 hours, with one interval in a two act show, and two in a three act show. Operettas and musicals tend to be shorter.
The world's longest opera is Wagner's The Ring Cycle, lasting over 14 hours plus intervals. That's 18 hours at the theatre.
If you are 25 years old or under you can purchase $25 tickets at the venue box office before any performance.
The world's longest applause lasted for 1 hour and 20 minutes as a standing ovation. The opera: Otello starring Placido Domingo.
NZO has launched an Opera Social Club - no joining fees, no club membership, everyone is welcome.
Early opera resembled the atmosphere of a race course - chatting, food, laughter and loud comments were the norm.
