Really exciting and accessible tunes with a Spanish tinge (it’s a French opera set in Spain) that will stick in your head for hours.
Some highly recognizable arias (Carmen’s sultry Habanera, the toreador’s entrance and song, and of course the ultra-famous and lively overture, which is somewhat ruined if you’ve ever seen the movie Bad News Bears). If you don’t like any of these, opera may not be for you.Ĭarmen – Bizet.
The links on this page will introduce you to some of the best music opera has to offer. Generally speaking, the works of Puccini are probably the most well-known to the general public, chock-full of beautiful music, and among the most-performed operas today – though, as you can see from the list below, there are plenty of other contenders. These operas are a good place to start before moving into more challenging works, like those of Wagner, some Verdi, and the Slavic composers. These would be ones with lots of catchy tunes or well-known arias, little or no talking/recitative (sing-talking), and a variety of musical styles. Some operas are more accessible than others.
