Budapest -- on the Danube. Lots of German operas there when I went a few years back, as well as Italian standard rep. (Vienna is just up the river -- you could use there too.) Wasn't able to get tickets, so no idea what the inside is like.
They also have a Gellert spa. ;)
What kind of an opera do you want? I need more info before I can do a rec. (Off the top of my head, I'd choose Die fliegende Hollander by Wagner, just because I like it. Or Boito's Mephistopheles, for similar reasons, if you want an Italian opera. If you want baroque opera, Handel's Acis and Galatea or anything by Monteverdi would suit too. Without knowing the reason or significance of the opera in the story, that's the best I can do.)
