operagoers
Libretto-loving attendees
Operagoers are people who attend operas, especially as a regular habit.
The term suggests more than casual attendance—operagoers are typically devoted enthusiasts of the art form: The operagoers filed into the concert hall in evening dress.
Like theatergoers or concertgoers, the word emphasizes the audience as a distinct group with shared cultural interests.
