"Opa!" - (Greek) Exclamatory called out when people are enjoying a performer, dancers or singers, men or women. Loosely translated it means, "You go!"

That's on TV now. Apparently, it's not very good. I can't say as I've never watched it.

The movie was cute. Not as hilarious as people were making it out to be, but not bad.

If you've ever been to a Greek Festival, there's alot of this shouting. Basically what Zoner said, it's just a chant that is for mostly dancing or celebration.
