'Opposite' or 'opposite to' suggests that two people or things are situated face to face, with an implication that they are on different sides of something.
Examples:
'My house is opposite yours.' (Different sides of the road.)
'She sat opposite the policeman.' (Different sides of a table.)
'The settee is opposite the mirror. (Different walls of the room.)
'In front of' suggests that one person or thing is situated close to another person or thing, but nearer to a given point than that other thing is. There is no suggestion of different sides.
Examples:
'My house is in front of yours.' (Your house is in the street behind mine, as we are looking in that direction.)
'She sat in front of the policeman.' (Her seat was in the row in front of his.)
'The settee is in front of the mirror.' (The mirror is on the wall behind the settee.)
