Can I get some entry-level opera recommendations? - L'amour est un Sonichu rebelle

[TheCakeIsALie]

I love The Magic Flute, Rusalka, La Wally and La Boheme. Der Fliegende Hollaender is good too.

Nothing can top the goddamned Der Hoelle Rache from The Magic Flute. Diana Damrau is my fav Queen and those staccato f6s are beauuuutiful.

Mozart was a pure nutso. Wrote an overture the morning one of his operas premiered, and he wrote Leck Mich Im Arsch and had a poop fetish.

Going to see it in Palm Beach in February. I know very little about opera, I heard she was one of the more well-regarded Queens right now?

Going to see it in Palm Beach in February. I know very little about opera, it’s an interest of my daughter’s. Kathryn Lewek is singing the Queen. I heard she was one of the more well-regarded Queens right now? Entire reason we’re going to this one.

She has sung at the Met, so you're in for a treat. The Magic Flute is a Met regular here in nyc

Also on the contemporary end of things: David Lang and Mark Dion's Anatomy Theater.

Easy on the ear? Not really. But the scenario – which begins with a Georgian-era public execution and then proceeds to the corpse's dissection – is irresistible.
