172. La clemenza di Tito (Mozart)

154. Europa riconosciuta (Salieri)
Was Salieri the missing link between Gluck and Rossini?
146. Mitridate, re di Ponto (Mozart)
Mozart's first opera seria. Don't judge the genre by this!
33. Orfeo ed Euridice / Orphée et Eurydice (Gluck)
In which Gluck reforms opera with a prehistoric sun-myth.
133. Serse (Handel)
The appeal of Handel's comic masterpiece is plane for all to see.

Posterity has not been kind to Handel's late opera Arminio.. With my customary perversity, I enjoyed it more than Giulio Cesare.
