I continue to encourage you to listen to, say, 20 minutes of Troyens, starting from the top. And you could certainly take a look at the libretto to see whether you find it boring. It's here:

You could have an interesting discussion with Mozart, Verdi, and Berg about the musical structures of their operas. Concert music has used any number of different solutions to form and structure issues, and opera is no different.
