You certainly don't need 7.1, but 5.1 can add a sense of ambience when recorded well. I really enjoy opera on Blu-ray with the lossless codecs, DTS HD MA and Dolby True HD. I find the subtitles a much better solution than a libretto. Two of my favorite Blu-rays are the Opus Arte Magic Flute and the Decca Aida. Both have excellent sound with fine sense of ambience and stage.
