Fidelio
A Wedding
Aida
Cunning Little Vixen
Tosca
Anything in Wagners Ring (but I am seeing Das Rheingold today)

My first opera ever was Albert Herring, and it was just okay, IMO, and then I saw Carmen and was BLOWN AWAY. I expect Das Rheingold to do the same.

Any advice?
I'd be all over Fidelio just because anything Beethoven is good

Never seen it or heard it, but you just can't go wrong with Beethoven.
