Just to clarify, while Symphony Fantastique is an awesome piece, it is not opera.
Zxello, if you are curious to hear more opera, go to the record store and get a "greatest hits" sort of album. Opera in its entirety is sort of an acquired taste - really wonderful, but not always easy for beginners. Pay special attention to Italian opera - you'll like find it to be the most accessible (toe-tapping, whatever).
Puccini, Rossini, Verdi, etc.
