So, to warn is not good. What else would use?
Please, show me as many possible ways you can.

This is an example of English
irony.
You should try my wife's jam. I should warn you that it is rather good.
This is a
exaggeration, the idea that there is some danger in discovering a jam that is very nice, presumably because there is a danger that you might kill somebody to get some more.
Same as the opera, a warning that it might be dangerous to experience something that good.
Does this make sense?
