Opera itself has not changed that much. People still dress up, go to the opera, and the dominant demographic is still people over 40. The music in the operas, however, has changed drastically since the early operas of the Baroque Era. I could write a novel about the shift in operatic music from the Baroque Era to Classical to Romantic and then to 20th Century and post-modern repertoire. But, audiences still seem to receive operas well regardless of what time they were composed.

They are usually set as a group - examples being - Beethoven's Fidelio as the prisoners, Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana as the villagers, Bizet's Carmen as the factory girls etc.
