What Are some operas that used to be popular( the timeframe I’m looking is the last 50 years) but now have disappeared from the repertoire?

I’m curious to know how and why you think that happens, what about the opposite? What do you think makes an opera maintain its popularity and relevance.?

Also, which ones do you think should be brought back?

Which contemporary operas do you think will still be relevant in 60 years?

Is it inevitable at this point?

Man, I was so excited when I found out that my favourite opera is going to be staged near me soon, I was so looking forward to experiencing live performance but the staging looks horrible.

Do I have to sacrifice the visual element of the experience in order to have the opportunity to hear the music live? Has this become inevitable?

It wouldn’t be half as bad if this weren’t my first ever time to the opera and I really want it to be special.

Has this ever actually happened to anyone?

An opera Singer/singers being so loud that it actually the hurt the ears?

I’m happy to hear your anecdotal experiences of live performances as well as documented cases of actual ear damage. (if they exist)

Tenor rivalries.

It seems to me that there’s a lot of discourse about feuds and rivalries between Sopranos.

Most of which just made up by the fans.I guess we never change, it’s never enough to just enjoy our favourite we have to put the other down.

What are some examples of this but for the guys?
