Opera Windows are small porthole sized side windows in the C-pillar of some cars. Typically offered in unison with a vinyl roof, they were a very common design feature of American automobiles during the 1970s. The design was new at the time, "... and would prove to be very popular, indicated by its imitation by almost every domestic manufacturer. The opera window was a fixed rear side window surrounded by a vinyl roof."[1] Automotive designers hoped that incorporating opera windows in their cars would serve as a marketing tool by helping to evoke in consumers' minds the elegance and romance of a night at the opera.

I don't dispute the car window use but surely the term would have originated from the small windows in some private boxes in opera houses way back in the 18c which ennabled the occupants to indulge in all sorts of non-opera related activities out of sight of the rest of the audience whilst still being able to see the action on stage?
I can't find any reference to this offhand but I do have some knowlege of baroque/classical opera.

so your answer would be "at the opera"
