Hi @boho18, Opera doesn't support Silverlight (because Opera is 64-bit, and Silverlight for OS X isn't), but can normally play back Netflix videos using HTML5 playback, a newer technology (the Silverlight for Mac plug-in is no longer updated by Microsoft and has effectively been deprecated).

However, unfortunately, this is not available in OS X 10.8, since the system libraries Opera uses to play back those videos weren't there yet in OS X 10.8. I'm afraid that there's no other option to play back these videos in Opera apart from updating OS X to a newer version.
