Can confirm, did homework and read books during my school's production of Guys and Dolls. It's not just students, even. Hector Berlioz wrote an awesome serial about stuff bored musicians do during downtime within bad operas.

The only other humorous approach to marketing opera that I've come across so far are a few very brief videos by Des Moines Opera. They aren't giving synopses; they're just very short promos that parody specific opera characters ...

There is also a blog about attractive baritones, which can be amusing. Search for "BariHunks blog".

There is also a handful of humorous books on opera:.

I greatly admire a book by Hector Berlioz that contains a wealth of humor, entitled "Evenings with the Orchestra".
