You can’t make apt ignore dependencies, but you can create a fake gstreamer0.10-plugins-good package which will satisfy the missing dependency. The simplest way to do this is using equivs:

  1. install equivs

     sudo apt install equivs
    
  2. generate a template control file

     equivs-contrlcontrol gstreamer0.10-plugins-good.control
    
  3. fix the package name

     sed -i 's/<package name; defaults to equivs-dummy>/gstreamer0.10-plugins-good/g' gstreamer0.10-plugins-good.control
    
  4. build the package

     equivs-build gstreamer0.10-plugins-good.control
    
  5. install it

     sudo dpkg -i gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_1.0_all.deb
    

That should satisfy the opera package’s dependency.
