"I never knew opera could be funny"

Waiting in the Overture Center lobby for my ride after the dress rehearsal last night, I overheard a high-school aged student (likely an orchestra member's kid) in conversation actually say, "I never knew opera could be funny." It may have been more like, "Like, seriously, I never knew opera could be funny, and I mean, I LOVE Mozart." It was music to my ears...seriously.
