No, it really is "opera". Look it up! "Opuses" is acceptable if you're
the kind of person who says "cactuses" and pronounces "coyote" as ki-oht.

Then, doubt not, ye fearful--
The Eternal is King--
Up, heart, and be cheerful,
And lustily sing:--
What chariots, what horses
Against us shall bide
While the Stars in their courses
Do fight on our side?
