About 20 years ago I didn't like opera either, and figured I just didn't get it. But I did like Mozart. So I forced myself to sit through an entire CD performance of Don Giovanni. That's when I discovered that Opera could be worth listening to. There are a couple of other operas that are approachable. Carmen, certainly, and to a lesser extent Faust.I still don't listen to most operas. Most sound to me like a few good bits in a sea of "I had to fill 3 hours with notes."
