You can do everything with these three commands:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu `sed -n '/UBUNTU_CODENAME/s/.*=//p' /etc/os-release` partner" 
sudo apt update
sudo apt install adobe-flashplugin

Then restart Opera.

The first command adds the repository. You can also do that graphically by following these instructions, but the command is easier (cred to Ruarí Ødegaard).

This is really incredible that a browser cannot have Flash working easily (while it's working on Firefox and Chrome).Has anybody been able to work it out? Thanks a lot for your help.

There is an article about this issue on webup8 but it's old and I don't know if it's still working but you could give it a try http://www.webupd8.org/2014/12/how-to-get-flash-and-h264-to-work-in.html

Good luck!

However, the Ubuntu software center pops up and says...

"There isn’t a software package called “adobe-flashplugin” in your current software sources."

I'm on version 14 so it should have worked.

If you click on the link above, the site will detect your browser, you only need to select the right package for your system:
Just select APT for Ubuntu 10.04 and higher

Hope that helps.

Later versions of Ubuntu have only one package for Flash but it installs all versions.

If you go to opera://plugins what does it say?

Opera says it needs to be downloaded which I have done in all versions except the tar file.
