In photoshop CS@2 you can use the measure tool to draw a line on the horizon, then go image > rotate > arbitary. The dialoge box comes up with a figure just press ok and you have a level opera house. In CaptureNX2 there is a line tool which does the rotation as soon as you draw the line.

Nice shot, straightening it out will help, I only use the tool in Capture NX2 but there is a similar tool in the 'develop' panel of Lightroom. Hope this helps

...or you could use Gimp and do exactly the same thing (and it wouldn't cost you a cent).

Camera Raw 5.0 and up in CS4 has a straighten tool. You grab the tool and drag it across a line that you think should be straight and it does the rest. Really, really simple but really effective.
