He goes to see it when he is pretending to be Dicky Greenleaf, with a woman named Meredith. Just before intermission, one male character shoots another male character. It resembles Tom's murder of Dicky character in the movie and it appears to hit home with Tom.

The opera Tom Ripley attends is called Eugene Onegin (pronounced "ON-ya-jin"). It is based on a book of the same name, written by Russian author Aleksandr Pushkin. Piotor Illych Tchaikovsky wrote the operatic score. The scene that affects Tom is between Onegin and his friend Lensky, with Onegin doing the shooting. It is presumable that Tom would have known the opera and its plot, as it has been fairly standard operatic repertoire since its premiere in 1879. He may also have read the book, leading to his emotional response to the scene.
