operagoer
Patron of arias
An operagoer is someone who attends opera performances, typically as a regular habit rather than a one-time occurrence.
The term suggests enthusiasm for the art form and often implies a degree of cultural sophistication or at least genuine appreciation.
Operagoers filled the lobby during intermission.
Like theatergoer and concertgoer, the word combines the venue or art form with the suffix indicating habitual attendance.
