[OU] [ou] Independant from 9.27 separate installation of 9.5 possible ?

Yes, it should be possible to install Opera to a separate directory. If you're installing on Windows, if I remember right you can choose the advanced installation and it should prompt you for an installation directory. Don't accept the default; simply rename the final destination folder (for example, instead of c:\program files\opera you could use c:\program files\opera95). Since Opera retains virtually all of its settings and files within its own folder, that should keep them seprarate.

On Mac OS X and Linux it's potentially more difficult. While it'd be easy to have two seprarate versions of Opera on hand, Opera stores its mail and some preferences in a separate, pre-determined directory. I've forgotten how the Linux installer goes, but with Mac OS X there is no prompt about where the mail/preferences directories should go.
