I can reliably observe the issue in a xenial VM.
According to https://www.opera.com/docs/history/, the latest stable
release of opera (44.0.2510.1449) is based on chromium 57 (57.0.2987.133
if the UA string can be trusted).
At a wild guess, the next opera update should be compatible with the
chromium codecs again, if the major version number matches.

Title:
Opera web browser can't play some HTML5 videos after codecs update
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS i386.
Opera can't play some HTML5 videos after latest
update of chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra:i386
from version 57.0.2987.98-0ubuntu0.16.04.1276
to version 58.0.3029.81-0ubuntu0.16.04.1277.
For example youtube.com works, while vimeo.com (and many others)
doesn't.
Web sites show various symptoms
- video just doesn't play, black box
- or message about no supported video source / system setup
- or attempt to load Flash version of a player
After manual downgrade back to previous version
(57.0.2987.98-0ubuntu0.16.04.1276) all videos play with no problem.
