Below is a list of some of the most popular and more bearable ones to listen to.

Don't try to listen to any of these in one sitting, insanity followed by the onset of rigor mortis could result.

Listen to one act per sitting.

Wagner--The Valkyrie
Wagner--The Mastersinger of Nuremburg
Mozart--The Marriage of Figaro
Mozart--The Magic Flute
Rossini--William Tell
Rossini--The Barber of Seville
Johann Strauss II--The Bat
Verdi--Aida
Puccini--Madame Butterfly
Tchaikovsky--Eugene Onegin
