    Hey there,

    I'm looking for some opera recommendations. :) From pottering around Youtube and listening to some Offenbach I found a few bits by Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca, but apart from that and a few more well known tunes, I know very little.

    What era of music do you listen to? My favourite opera is The Rake's Progress by Stravinsky although it might not be for everyone.

    Of the classical stuff I have at the moment, there's some Bach, Beethoven, Oxford college choir tunes, Yo Yo Ma, Einaudi, Glass...probably a bit more. iTunes probably isn't the best at genre classification.

    I suggest you download Spotify
    https://www.spotify.com/
    and find some opera compilations and work through them and find stuff you like.
