Where do you watch operas?
There are plenty of complete filmed opera performances available on YouTube, which you can watch for free. Unfortunately, not all of them have English subtitles, but if necessary, you can always find a translation of the libretto online to follow along with.
In fact, just for fun, as an example, I'll provide some links to complete filmed performances of the world's top 10 most popular operas, with English subtitles.

When you’re in love with a non canon ship but they try to shove the canon thing down your throat anyway
I am simply not interested in taking sides when it comes to aziraphale and crowley's little cosmic divorce. this is a jane austen romance, which means that both of our romantic leads need to grow and change before they can have their happily ever after. the problem isn't that one of them is Right and the other is Wrong, the problem is that they're each prioritizing a different problem and then approaching the problem they've backburnered with a long-standing habit or belief that they need to grow out of before they can succeed.
aziraphale is correct that heaven needs fixing! we can quibble over whether accepting a job as the boss is the right way to do that, but ultimately leaving michael or whoever in charge is going to lead to armageddon 2 armageddon harder. it simply will not work. the problem is that he's fumbling the relationship with crowley because he still needs to get over the idea of there being an inherently good and bad side and he needs to stop thinking that it's crowley being a demon that's keeping them apart. it's his own black and white logic that's doing that.
meanwhile, crowley is correct that he and aziraphale need to Name The Relationship and stop fucking around, and also that heaven and hell are the same institution with different labels and it's insane to think either of them is Good. but his impulse to respond to everything by trying to grab aziraphale and run is not gonna cut it here. "you can't fix an institution from the inside" is a philosophy of dubious value if your alternative is not attempting to fix it at all. if aziraphale is being held back by his cops and robbers mentality, crowley is being held back by cynicism and fear. they both need to let go of their flawed moral philosophies and emotional bad habits if they want to keep the world safe and be together! that's the point of the story splitting them up in the first place!
He gets along with everyone, any group and idol.
He’s extremely cheerful and friendly to others.
Seungri is also a huge EXO-L and secretly runs a Sehun blog because they’re actually husbands.
Seungri also declared that Red Flavor was the girl group bop of 2017 on ‘I live alone’ with Taeyang. And can do amazing leg circles.
He is also Daesungs hype man. And they’re the best maknae line cuties.
Oh and he is apart of IKON, and IKON hype man. OT8.
And now he is apart of Wanna One as their 12th member! And is friends already with the new kids in town.
Seungri also agrees and thinks SHINee are the princes of Kpop and deserve all of the love~
We don’t deserve such a wonderful soul Seungri ~
