I've only seen Carmen. I'm not going to pretend I know shit, but honestly was a bit underwhelming. The big hit songs were the only ones that felt memorable and the story wasn't as bombastic as memes made me think opera was. What's a good one to improve my shit taste? Some Rossini maybe?

Tannhäuser, Lohengrin, T&I, mpW..

I was going to say Pagliacci as well but lately I realized Verdi's Masnadieri tops it. Plot-wise I prefer Meyerbeer's Robert Le Diable.

Opera doesn't have a consistent music quality, that would be like saying that all the songs in an album ought to be big hits. Some arias are memorable, some outright forgettable. Operas are meant to have straightforward and concise plots also.
