This is an area I wish to explore even more. It seems to be filled with so much cool and good stuff by composers like Henze, Riemann, Berg, Schoenberg and others (Stockhausen? Ligeti?). I want to know what you like so I can further my explorations.
So far I particularly enjoy
Reimann: Medea
Reimann: Lear
Henze: Der Junge Lord
Berg: Wozzeck
Berg: Lulu
Aaaand i don't know if I should count The Bassarids (also Henze) because it was first written to an English libretto before being translated into German.
Busoni - Doctor Faust
Hartmann - Simplicius Simplicissimus
Hindemith - Cardillac
Orff - Antigone
Schoenberg - Erwartung, Moses und Aron
Strauss - Elektra
There is of course the LICHT series of 7 operas by Stockhausen.
Oh this will be juicy.
