Favorite Operas

	Favorite Operas
	Like all the spaces in the XanXone, this one is under construction. In the future I hope to put up plot summaries and personal commentary on my favorite operas, and maybe some not-so- favorite ones as well. So far only Idomeneo has a plot summary and some ideas about the story and the action.
	Some, but by no means all, favorite operas:
	Otello -- Giuseppe Verdi Tosca -- Giacomo Puccini Turandot -- Giacomo Puccini La fanciulla del West -- Giacomo Puccini Les contes d'Hoffmann -- Jacques Offenbach Così fan tutte -- W. A. Mozart Don Giovanni -- W. A. Mozart Idomeneo -- W. A. Mozart La Traviata -- Giuseppe Verdi Un ballo in maschera -- Giuseppe Verdi Andrea Chénier -- Umberto Giordano Lohengrin -- Richard Wagner Don Carlo -- Giuseppe Verdi Simon Boccanegra -- Giuseppe Verdi L'elisir d'amore -- Gaetano Donizetti Fidelio -- Ludwig van Beethoven Sly -- Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari Le Cid -- Jules Massenet Stiffelio -- Giuseppe Verdi La forza del destino -- Giuseppe Verdi Serse -- G. F. Handel La Cenerentola -- Gioacchino Rossini Il barbiere di Siviglia -- Gioacchino Rossini Le nozze di Figaro -- W. A. Mozart Béatrice et Bénédict -- Hector Berlioz Owen Wingrave -- Benjamin Britten Death in Venice -- Benjamin Britten A Midsummer Night's Dream -- Benjamin Britten
