You can choose from librettos, which are opera scripts with English translations, or explore biographies of famous opera composers or singers. This will give him a deeper understanding of opera history and its key figures.

4. Opera Music CDs or Streaming Subscription: Help him build a music library by gifting him some opera CDs. Look for albums featuring his favorite opera singers or recordings of famous opera companies. Alternatively, consider a subscription to a music streaming service that offers a wide variety of opera recordings.

5. Opera-related Artwork or Posters: Find a beautiful opera-inspired artwork or poster to decorate his bedroom or living space. Look for paintings, prints, or even vintage opera posters. This gift will not only showcase his love for opera but also add a touch of elegance to his surroundings.

6. Opera-themed Clothing or Accessories: Surprise him with opera-themed clothing or accessories. You can find ties, scarves, or pocket squares featuring opera-inspired patterns or motifs. Alternatively, look for jewelry or cufflinks shaped like musical notes or opera-related symbols. These unique and stylish gifts will remind him of his favorite art form.

7. Opera Study Courses or Workshops: Research if there are any local opera courses or workshops available in your area. Enroll him in a short-term program where he can deepen his knowledge and appreciation for opera. This gift will provide him with an opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals and further develop his passion.
