Either from the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40529
or directly from the Opera's download page (choose Arch): http://www.opera.com/browser/download/

Better to stick with the aur package so pacman can track the installed files. On a side note ruario, the package maintainer is an Opera employee.

Of course, using the AUR package is the best way to go.

Downloading another version of Opera, like the recent Opera 11 ( http://www.opera.com/browser/next/ ) and not installing it, but running it from the folder you've been downloading it to, is also another way to go for Opera junkies.

umm. maybe you used pacman -S instead of pacman -U.
Try running pacman -U <package>

you could also run makepkg -si , It'll automatically launch pacman.
