Puccini Tosca

What are some good/your favorite operas? ?
I’m turning into a fan of them, but I’ve only been exposed to a few.
Strauss II’s “Die Fledermaus”
Weber’s “Der Freischutz” (My favorite German one so far)
Wagner’s “Der Ring des Nibelungen”
Puccini’s “Tosca” (my second favorite to-date)
Bizet’s “Carmen” (also good)
Glinka’s “Ruslan i Lyudmilla” (my favorite opera)
Donizett’s “Lucia di Lammermoor”
Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville (overrated)
Rossini’s “William Tell” (also overrated)
Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rake’s Progress”
And that’s all. I know, that’s probably a decently-long list, but does anyone have any recommendations for me?
I just went to a performance of Puccini’s Turandot last night. The singer playing Liu made me cry so badly.
Anyway, here are my favourites:
Mozart: Marriage of Figaro (still my all-time favourite), Don Giovanni
Strauss II: Die Fledermaus
Richard Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier
Verdi: Otello, Rigoletto, La Traviata
Puccini: Tosca, La Boheme, Turandot
Donizetti: Don Pasquale, La Fille du Regimente (spelling?)
Bellini: La Sonnambula, Norma
Rossini: The Barber of Seville
Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin
Humperdinck: Hansel und Gretel
Offenbach: The Tales of Hoffmann
I would love to be exposed to more Russian operas…especially Glinka and Shostakovich’s operas.
