The Top 40 Most Popular Operas, Part 1 (#1 through #10)
A quick guide for newcomers to the genre, with links to online video recordings of complete performances with English subtitles.
Mozart's Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart)
The most frequently performed opera worldwide: Mozart's fascinating, philosophical fairy tale opera, which appeals to both children and adults.
San Francisco Opera, 2010 (Piotr Beczala, Dina Kuznetsoca, Christopher Maltman, Erika Miklosa, Georg Zeppenfeld; conducted by Donald Runnicles)
Verdi's La Traviata
Tragic romance with social commentary, based on Alexandre Dumas fils' novel The Lady of the Camellias, which was also the basis for the classic 1936 Greta Garbo film Camille.
Los Angeles Opera, 2006 (Renée Fleming, Rolando Villazon, Renato Bruson; conducted by James Conlon)
Bizet's Carmen
The fiery tragedy of a seductive, free-spirited Spanish Romani woman and her loves, with some of opera's most iconic music.
Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, 2006 (Anna Caterina Antonacci, Jonas Kaufmann, Ildebrando d'Arcancelo, Norah Ansellem; conducted by Antonio Pappano)
Puccini's La Bohéme
Relatable slice-of-life romance that blends comedy and tragedy. The inspiration for the popular musical RENT.
Studio film, 1965 (Mirella Freni, Gianni Raimondi, Rolando Panerai, Adriana Martino; conducted by Herbert von Karajan)
Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)
The best loved of Mozart's Italian operas, a great comedy of class conflict and sexual intrigue.
Glyndebourne Festival Opera, 1994 (Gerald Finley, Alison Hagley, Renée Fleming, Andreas Schmidt, Marie-Ange Todorovich; conducted by Bernard Haitink)
Puccini's Tosca
Political intrigue, lust, and bloodshed amid the splendor of Rome – some call it a "shabby little shocker," others call it thrilling.
Vienna State Opera, 2019 (Sondra Radvanovsky, Piotr Beczala, Thomas Hampson; conducted by Marco Armiliato)
Mozart's Don Giovanni
Arguably the greatest retelling of the legend of Don Juan, with comedy, drama, and Mozart's glorious music.
Salzburg Festival, 1954 (Cesare Siepi, Otto Edelmann, Elisabeth Grümmer, Anton Dermota, Lisa della Casa, Erna Berger, Walter Berry Deszö Ernster; conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler)
Puccini's Madama Butterfly
Puccini's iconic "Japanese tragedy." Controversial from a racial standpoint, but a tearjerker nonetheless, and the inspiration for the musical Miss Saigon.
Feature film, 1995 (Ying Huang, Richard Troxell, Ning Liang, Richard Cowan; conducted by James Conlon)
Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia (The Barber of Seville)
The lighter and more madcap prequel to The Marriage of Figaro, known as the quintessential comic opera.
Vienna State Opera, 2019 (Rafael Fingerlos, Juan Diego Flórez, Margarita Gritskova, Paolo Rumetz, Sorin Coliban; conducted by Evelino Pidò)
Verdi's Rigoletto
A richly melodic tragedy of a hunchbacked jester, his daughter, a lecherous duke, and a self-fulfilling curse.
Studio film, 1982 (Ingvar Wixell, Luciano Pavarotti, Edita Gruberova; conducted by Riccardo Chailly)

tfw you married a charming leggiero tenor who sang you some beautiful serenades and went to ridiculous lengths to make sure that you loved him for himself and not for his title or money, and 3 years into your marriage he becomes a nasty jealous baritone who constantly cheats on you and sides with the very people he was previously up against…

marriage of figaro: successful eldest child with an incredibly consistent work/life balance and happy go lucky attitude to the point that people envy them wildly for it
don giovanni: middle child that bucked everyone’s expectations and needs a therapist now and then but is just as if not more successful than eldest sibling
cosi fan tutte: underachieving youngest child that dropped out of college and lived off the grid for a while but is now back with a mildly successful gig career. nobody really knows how to feel about them and their “unique” sense of humor
the magic flute: weirdo half sibling that illustrates children’s books and is pretty popular with everyone despite dubious past mistakes. also might be in the freemasons and may or may not do shrooms
