Isn’t the plural of ‘Opus’ the word ‘Opera’?

I know that the plural of opus is opera. To me, opera is just some people putting themselves on a stage and waving their arms around and screaming something that nobody understands.

Shouldn't that be "opera are . . . ."

Mrs. Fredrickson!

You’re still around!

I’m sorry, but I still don’t know what a predicate nominative is!

Forgive me!

Before you can execute a really good opus that will get the attention it deserves you need to attend to the necessary preliminaries. You must spend several months thoroughly antagonizing a large number of participants in the forum.

Only then can you take your bow on stage and exit stage left.

Only in Arizona.

It is acceptable to use the word “opuses” everywhere else but in Schenectady.

For full effect, one writing an opus should actually dictate their Opus sitting in a Prius. Nobody would ask what the plural of “opus” is under those conditions.

In any good opus, the author should emphasis how much of a “principled conservative” they are, and how important that they “preserve” these principles by having a verbal tanturm filled with random insults, name calling, and projection of their hurt feelings.

My complaint is that too many have opused out in replies to existing threads. They ain’t got the ‘nads to post their goodbye rants in their own original threads.
