I am seeking general recommendations for my next opera. I have seen Don Pasquale (1932), L'Elisir d'Amore (1949), Lucia Di Lamermoor (1939), Il Barbiere Di Siviglia (1929/30), and La Sonambula (1952). I'm thinking of Le Nozze di Figaro (1944 or 1949), but I'm not sure. I saw it, (via another video) but it was in English and a modern, amateur production. I was not impressed,but I am willing to give it a chance with a professional production. I like light-hearted operas, comedy (particularly wit and wordplay), relationships, the upperclass, the supernatural, etc. I don't mind some realism, but I'm not one for extreme violence, serious depictions of poverty, loud, dramatic singing, discordant melodies, and so on. I might try La Boheme (1917 or 1948)) or Rigoletto (1915-18 or 1927-30), , since they are mostly just sad from what I know. But I would love to find more works by Donizetti, Rossini, Bellini, and some by Pacini, Paisiello, Cimarosa, and other similar composers. I'm also interested in those performed in English, whether translations or written that way. I know Purcell wrote some but am not very familiar with English opera as a whole. The problem with all of the above is that I don't know how many of these were recorded in full prior to the 1960's. I will definitely watch Massenet's Werther and Manon, but I want to hold off on them a little longer, since Werther (1948) is the only other full opera with Schipa in it, (Don Pasquale is the first) and Manon (1939) is the last big fragment of an opera with him in it (Act II/I will need to supplement with either 1929 or 1954, if I can find the latter). Can anyone suggest anything that might be of interest?

I posted the following on Reddit yesterday (24 April).

Admittedly, I would have liked to have heard Baccaloni as Raimondo and de Muro Lomanto as Edgardo, but since Lucia is naturally so important, I'm glad I chose this version and not the one from 1929. Lina Pagliughi did an excellent job. Having heard the voice of Mercedes Capsir from Barbiere, I couldn't imagine her in this role. Her voice isn't powerful enough. Having said that, I liked Pagliughi's restrained approach. It was elegant, graceful, and emotional without being exagerated. I heard that some play Lucia as a means of showing off and/or in a very dramatic way. This was more subtle and somehow more captivating. I'm glad that I was told about the cuts, so I knew to expect them. It's a shame, as Giovanni Malipiero barely had a part as Edgardo, though he played it well. I also liked Muzio Giovagnoli as Arturo, so I must research both of these singers. Despite the dark plot, I was surprised to find that so much of the music was light. This makes three operas that I've seen by Donizetti and I've loved all of them. Unfortunately, I doubt I'll be able to see any more, unless I sit through a modern performance."
Note: I might be willing to consider one by Teatro Nuovo, since from what I hear, they are reviving bel canto singing.
Here is the Reddit link for those who may be interested. As of this writing, there aren't any comments, so there isn't anyting to see beyond the above post right now.
