It may not have helped to have seen the Broadway musical The Drowsy Chaperone at Playhouse Square earlier this week. The level of that performance was so unusually high, and uniformly so, that it raised the bar for everything else. And it made the conventions of opera a little harder to accept. When a bloodied Cavaradossi staggered out of the prison into Scarpia's room and lay down on the velvet-covered chaise lounge, I half-expected the Man in Chair who narrated The Drowsy Chaperone to stop the action to say, ''You're going to put a towel down first, aren't you? Bloodstains are really hard to get out.'' .
