  The Opera is an 1832 novel by the British writer Catherine Gore, originally published in three volumes. It is part of the tradition of silver fork novels focusing on British high society of the later Regency era. One contemporary reviewer launched a critical attack on its elitism, and lack of realism about everyday lives. The novel makes many references to the ongoing debate about the Reform Bill.
