I know it's not really an opera, but my first experience was Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) as a kid, and I loved it, and kept singing songs from it. I think it can be a good idea to move gradually from musicals through singspiel to opera. After that it was la Traviata with Andrea Rost, and it was beautiful, but I think I needed the gradual introduction. I haven't seen Carmen as a real opera yet, but turned into a skating film, Carmen On Ice with Katarina Witt, Brian Boitano and Brian Orser (world champions, Olympic champions and silver medalist), three of the greatest skaters of their time). It was a passionate performance and brought the music closer to me, as it was connected to my favourite sport.

Fans of this music might also enjoy Meredith Monk's "Dolmen Music" (1980).

This music had a significant influence on the music of Steve Reich. Apparently he listed his choices for the five greatest composers as 1) Pérotin, 2) Bach, 3) Stravinsky, 4) Bartók, and 5) John Coltrane.

I saw both Barber of Seville and Zauberflote as my first operas and they were poorly done and I did NOT enjoy them, though I do now. The opera that got me hooked was a student production, with no sets at all, of Don Giovanni. I think was the heightened emotion of all the characters that drew me in; whereas the comedy of Barber of Seville didn't attract me and the oddball plot of Zauberflote didn't interest me either.

I always tell people to start with the operas Mozart wrote with Lorenzo da Ponte--Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi Fan Tutte. Should dispel the notion that Wagnerian screaming is all there is to opera.

The effect is even better if the major thirds above the root are tuned purely (i.e., to around 386 cents) rather than as 400-cent 12-tone equal tempered "piano thirds," with their jarring beats.

Tchaikovsky was a musical and melodic genius. His attempt to hide his sexuality led him into deep depression and concern for himself. He doubted his own talents despite the evidence otherwise. His Sixth Symphony perfectly represents his torment and depression. Nevertheless his music lives on. I wish he had been born in a more enlightened age. He should have had a happy creative life with a loved partner. I’m straight, but I love the man and his music dearly.

I tred to predict what your recommendations would be and came swiftly unstuck! I had ‘Figaro’ rather than ‘Zauberflöte’ (which is let down by acres of spoken dialogue, especially once the trials get underway), ‘La Bohème’, ‘La traviata’ and ‘Flying Dutchman’ (reasoning that if you have Verdi, you have to keep the Wagner faction happy) and, so it’s not all pre-20th century and to show opera isn’t all romance, ‘The turn of the screw’.

I remember playing saxophone at a church Christmas concert. When it was my turn to play, I gave a brief speech about the theme of my performance. I then asked the audience to hold their applause until the end of the performance. The audience didn’t understand the request and applauded anyway. After the concert I did an “Elvis has left the building.” I had to go to work the next morning.
