I trust you and everyone else is having fun pondering space operas. I am. It seems, however that we may be over-thinking them. I'd say you could write any type of story you care to, on any scale, as long as in has space and spaceships as a central element. Set it in the far future were their science is our magic. If you think it needs an epic scale, use space for that, which is rather vast, beautiful, mysterious, and dangerous all by itself. And then make sure that you have "A Magnificent New Space Opera by Charles Stross" on the book's cover. Done.
