I listen to classical at night to ease my nerves.
My favorite is Gershwinn's American in Paris - at least I think thats what its called...
and Beethoven.
Miss Saigon? How about "still in Saigon" by Charlie Daniel's Band.
classical....tchaikovsky...1812 overture -
That's a good one, I also like Vivaldi's Four Seasons,
Rachmananoff puts me to sleep, but the orchestration is visually beautiful
opera....madame butterfly -
Not an opera fan, but I love the costumry. I'd have to say Pirates of Pensance
And who can resist the fat lady (the Valkyri of The Ring) when she sings?
ballet...swan lake -
The Nut Cracker Suite,
Ballancines Romeo and Juliette
Zircus Wiel
musical....miss saigon -
Cats, Cabaret, Stomp
I ain't got much culture nor had too much sposure to stuff like that there but I do kinda like
classical.....Mozart's Requiem
Beethoven's 5th
opera.....beats me (do rock operas count?)
ballet.....Swan Lake (yup)
musical.....All That Jazz
Rocky Horror Picture Show

As with many in my agegroup, I was introduced to Classical Music and the Opera and other "Literature" through Saturday Morning cartoons.... when we weren't out in field service.
classical....Bruch's violin concerto, Arvo Part's Miserere, Rachmaninov's piano 2, Beethoven's piano 5, Rautavaraa's Cantus Articus, Bach's St Matthew... the list is endless.
opera.... Puccini's Gianni Schicchi & Poulenc's Dialogue of the Carmelites
ballet...Ohad Naharin's minus16
musical....Fiddler on the Roof or maybe Beauty and the Beast - you cannot beat Be Our Guest.
Pretentious? Moi?!

I didn't think I needed to, Swan Lake said it all.
I have all of Mozart on another computer.......a doc gave to me.......I love to listen to it and drive the kids out of the house.
