Favorite operas; usually what I'm listening to at the moment, but I find these outstanding:
Don Giovanni, maybe the greatest, although I prefer The Marriage of Figaro
Carmen, I would kill to be able to compose something as wonderful as the Act Two quintet
The Rake's Progress
Amahl and the Night Visitors
The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny
Peter Grimes
La Boheme
Falstaff
