I wouldn't know. I hate opera.
It's probably not the best but it's my favorite of those I've heard ~
Mozart's "The Magic Flute"
Here's a scene from director Ingmar Bergman's marvelous film version of the opera. Unfortunately, the visual and audio don't quite sync up when I watch and listen here.
Oh -- I thought of another one ~
Richard Strauss' "Salome" is great, too, to me!
Any left unwritten.
You are a right thinking person.
