Well.. maybe a bit.
A couple of months ago I was in the city with my brother and chance had it there was a live Opera playing outside City Hall. One of the songs started off exactly, and I mean EXACTLY like It's A Hard Life. Freddie must have nicked that when he heard it at an Opera. But I believe that isn't a secret.

Not entirely.... Listen to the song.... Its by "chick" ...I think thats there name... and you will find the songs are totally different... little base line that sounds the same at the start, but ABTD then goes into a different direction.
The bass line was inspired by the song "Good Times" by the Disco group Chic. [1] [2] In an interview with New Musical Express, Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards stated, "...that Queen record came about because that Queen bass player... spent some time hanging out with us at our studio".

Our local pub has been playing 'Young hearts run free' a lot lately which always reminds me of 'Rain must fall'!
I got curious and searched that Young Hearts Run Free and YES, it really sounds sometimes like Rain Must Fall (some arrangements and chord progressions).
As for the the opera/it's a hard life, it's no secret. It's an aria called Vesti La Giubba.

Is it the part "I don't want my freedom, there's no reason for living with the broken heart"?

I also remember Brian saying that he's not sure if "Save Me" was also, mabye unconsciously, inspired by one song, i can't remember which one. Can someone confirm that?
Many years later Brian also admitted "See What a Fool I Been" was inspired by an old blues song which he saw on television. Song is "That's How I Feel", by Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry.

Someone made that song available here once and if I recall correctly it doesn't sound anything like SWAFIB. I always thought it sounded a bit like 'Love in Vain' by Robert Johnson (or maybe one of the songs that were influenced by that, like UFO's 'Mystery Train'.)

Yes. It's from the opera Pagliacci. The opening Freddie used starts at the 2:06 minute mark in this video, if you are curious...
