If another player gains control of the permanent Opportunistic Dragon has kidnapped, that permanent doesn't regain its abilities and still can't attack or block.

2019-10-04wotc

Opportunistic Dragon's effect doesn't expire if another player gains control of it or if it loses all abilities. The effect only expires once it's no longer on the battlefield.

If the stolen permanent normally has any abilities that would trigger when Opportunistic Dragon dies, those abilities won't trigger.
