Opera has special rules? Please point me to the appropriate MB wiki page

Easy. Let me see... something like ClassicalStyleGuideDiscussion. :-D
Strangely, although there was some kind of consensus reached in CSGD,
nobody even tried to RFC/RFV them. The problem is opera rules are
sprinkled between general classical rules so that finding them is
tricky (to say the least). What I understood is:
- Opera name
- No catalogue number
- No movement number
- Act number
- Scene number
- First words of the scene
