Where's Opera on SACD???

Hi Everyone,
I've noticed that there's no Opera on SACD yet. Does anyone know why? It seems like a natural for the new format, because of the extended storage capacity, and because I think Opera lends itself to multi-channel quite naturally.
While on the subject of storage capacity, does anyone know the capacity of an SACD? Wouldn't it be great to be able to get "Siegfried" by Wagner on 1 disc instead of 4! (Wait... maybe THAT'S why it's not on SACD? Record companies couldn't really sell 1 disc for $65, whereas they can do that with 4 discs. Hmmm.)

Some of Renee Fleming's work is available on SACD, though I guess its not really opera its pretty close.

That is a good question, it would be nice to get a SACD Carmen on a single disc!
