Opera can actually be kinda fun, especially if it's in a language you understand. It's (mis)understood to be stuffy and boring now, but back in the day it was low-brow entertainment.
Honestly I think it's worse when it's a language I understand since it makes the sing-talking a lot more frustrating to listen to for me
Trying to rack my brain for english operas,, I played pit for GianCarlo Menotti's the old maid and the thief, a fun 20th century one.
Most of what comes to mind is older baroque stuff tho
Benjamin Britten
John Adams
Stravinsky's The Rake's Progress, libretto co-written by W.H. Auden
