Finally, one i can relate to. :-)
I think that most Americans pronounce it that way with the stress on the
first syllable, i.e., AH-prah. The "prah" is actually "per-ah" with the
two
syllables run together as one in pronunciation. In pure text it is
hard to
describe pronunciations. I have no idea how you are internally
pronouncing
the words that i am writing, but in the end, it makes no difference --as
in
this case so long as we both know we are talking about the character
string
O-P-E-R-A.
I can't say I've ever heard the O pronounced with 'ah' or any other sort
of 'a' sound. Here in the Pacific the universal pronounciation would be a
short o as in "stop" or "orange".
