I would recommend any with the acclaimed @jacquidark in it ... such as Bellini's Norma #ausmusic

My first opera was Madama Butterfly, which I loved. But I'd probably also recommend anything by Mozart.

La Traviata. Or perhaps Dido and Aeneas.

What about starting with Elena Kats-Churnin's The Divorce, which was on ABC TV a few years ago. Then, The Marriage of Figaro.

Bizet's Carmen for adults; The Magic Flute for younger people.
