This morning I finished the opera version of Les Miserables. I think three music pieces from it is recommendable: do you hear the people sing,on my own, master of the house. But it has cut the story streamline so brief that many important things were left out. And the relationship between Marius and Cosette was not accentuated. If you haven't read the novel first, you will find it difficult to understand the opera.
But on the whole, the opera is still kind of masterpiece. Your ideas?

I didn't find it hard to understand and I hadn't read the novel beforehand.

I doubt there'll ever be any genre that can compare to the original... I've been disappointed by every version I've seen; a couple of times greatly disappointed. No help there, I know, but I'm sure I'm not the first to say it! My suggestion is to wait 5 years and read it again. You'll be surprised, every time you read it, how absorbing it can still be.
