- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, opera glasses are not the same as binoculars. Although they resemble one another, opera glasses are usually smaller than binoculars and have lower-power optics that do not magnify as much. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique opera glasses.
- Do opera glasses work?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, opera glasses work and provide magnification in the range of 3x, sometimes even more. Opera glasses are typically more compact and have an elegance that’s not found in regular binoculars. They’re just what you need to view the stage better during a performance so as not to miss anything. Shop a collection of opera glasses from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The difference between opera glasses and binoculars relates to their size and optics. Opera glasses are generally smaller and feature low-power optics. They are usually used only for viewing theatrical performances. Larger, more powerful binoculars have a wide range of uses. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of opera glasses and binoculars.
