Is Spring Awakening an opera without music?
The text and dialogue are highly stylized. There are moments of naturalistc dialogue especially between the children, but at other times the dialogue is extremely stilted with speeches which are just too long. Even the monologues have oddities in them. I don't think it's down to the translation we're using which is meant to be very faithful.
I think it is an extremely operatic play in many ways.
