Weber: Der Freischuetz
Schubert: Rosamunde [oder Etwas mit Harf?]
Verdi: La forza del destino
Mozart: Don Giovanni
Mozart: Die Zauberfloete
er..that's it
Edit: Oops, shouldn't have two Wolfies I now realise. I'll take out Flute and add... mmm... oh Mendelssohn Midsummer Night's Dream, and not only because he was 17 or whatever when he wrote it. [Nearly typed Midsummer Knight's Dream - now that would make an opera, no?
