Reply to comment by courtney2222 in I'm Yves Abel, Principal Conductor of the San Diego Opera. I’ve conducted all over the globe, and even got to work with the great Leonard Bernstein while in training. AMA! by sandiegoopera

New to opera I tell people to do Carmen and Don Giovanni. You already know about all the music in Carmen and so can ease into to dynamic play of orchestra and singer and story. Don Giovanni is just fun AF with dramatic and sublime melodies and a fun fun story.

Those two are your beachhead.
