Can we arrive pre-dusk and explore and then attend the opera? Would you say this rates in interest as the Colosseum? We may skip that due to crowds and the unavailability of skip the line tickets unless we pay a lot from a third party. Going in a week and a half for reference!

This is a big site and you'll do a lot of walking. I think afterwards you'll likely be tired and just want to be fed and watered. As for being more interesting than the Coliseum. If you've never been to the Coliseum then no. But, if you have and you are a bit of an architecture geek then I'd say yes. BTW buy your skip the queue tickets on line from the official site. They cost next to nothing two euro, they not really trying to make money of out they just trying to manage the crowd better. Don't buy a tour just to skip the queue. I booked my slot from Australia and the website went down so I just phoned them and the lady emailed me the ticket. Worked perfectly and it was like the best 2 euro I spent! I loved saying no to all the touts and just walking up to entry. :)
