If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Space Opera is a novel by the American science fiction author Jack Vance, first published in 1965 (New York: Pyramid Books).
This is a ‘stand-alone’ work, not part of any of Vance's numerous novel sequences. The term "space opera" is typically used in science fiction literature to connote interstellar adventures, clashes of spacefleets and galactic empires. Vance’s novel is instead about an opera company touring in outer space.
