There are several, I think, by P.D.Q.Bach (Peter Schickele). Not sure of
the publisher.

Also - though I don't know if it's ever been in print - a thing called
"Let's Fake An Opera" by Gerard Hoffnung. It is certainly on CD.

I compiled one a few years ago called "Wine, Women and Aaaarghhhh!" for
our own group of 8 men and 8 women, the title implying that all opera is
about either alcohol, sex or death. It was more like a revue, though,
and tailor-made to our peculiar set-up.
