Opera glasses, also known as theater binoculars or Galilean binoculars, are compact, low-power optical magnification devices, usually used at performance events, whose name is derived from traditional use at opera performances.
Magnification power below 5× is usually desired in these circumstances in order to minimize image shake and maintain a large enough field of view to see the performance stage. A magnification of 3× is normally recommended.
The design of many modern opera glasses of the ornamental variety is based on the popular lorgnettes of the 19th century.
They do work!
