The secret name of this thread should be Musical Coincidence and Synchronicity.

Leporello: I like your name (though if I'd used it, I'd have had to employ three consecutive e's to match my inevitable reputation).

Awoke to and am currently listening to this:

_Il ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria_, by Monteverdi, arranged by Hans Werner Henze - Overture/ Di miseria Regina non terminati. There is only one recording.

Favorite operas (in or[d]er of momentary preference):

Monteverdi - absolutely everything by this, the most tasteful opera composer who ever lived
Berg - Wozzeck, Lulu
Beethoven - Fidelio
Purcell - Dido and Aeneas
Debussy - Pelleas and Melisande
Richard Strauss - Die Frau Ohne Schatten, Elektra, Salome
Hans Werner Henze - Der junge Lord
Honneger - Joan du Arc
Barber - Antony and Cleopatra
Penderecki - The Devils of Loudin
Shostakovich - Lady Macbeth
Stravinsky - The Rake's Progress
Ernst Krenek - Jonny Spielt Auf
Hindemith - Mathis der Maler

No patience for the following:

French light opera
Italian neorealist opera
Pointless coloratura
Any composer who favors vocal pyrotechnics over aesthetic and structural concerns
Any singer with inexact pitch and theremin vibrato
