Their list

[edit]

Peri, Giulio Caccini, Monteverdi (with special admiration), Cavalli, Cesti, Fux (mentioned for the sumptuousness of the productions rather than musical importance, as far as I can tell), Purcell, Lully, Campra, Charpentier, Rameau (with special admiration), Handel (with special admiration) and Pergolesi, Gluck, Mozart, Beethoven, Auber (for political reasons: one of his operas sparked off a revolution in Belgium), Rossini, Berlioz, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Wagner ("about whom more has been written than any other musician"), Glinka, Mussorgsky, Bizet ("Carmen"), Gounod ("Faust"), Offenbach, Lalo, Ambroise Thomas, Massenet (the last four unappreciatively, for what it's worth), Tchaikovsky, Moniuszko (founder of Polish opera), Szymanowski, Smetana (whose "Bartered Bride" is "secure at the centre of the repertoire"), Dvorak ("whose operas are not"), Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Richard Strauss, Stravinsky, Kurt Weill, Krenek ("intolerably dated"), Debussy, Bartok, Janacek, Britten, Gershwin, Schoenberg, Berg ("Wozzeck" is "unparalleled in our century's opera"). More contemporary: Tippett, Berio, Judith Weir, Aribert Reimann, Peter Maxwell Davies (none of the last three "have travelled well"), John Adams, Philip Glass, John Corigliano, Harrison Birtwistle, Hans Werner Henze, Puccini
