La Traviata is the only opera I've ever seen live and it was one of the most magical evenings of my life. I saw a magical company (all of whom had sang at (Covent Garden at some time), deliver a wonderful rendition. I know very little about opera however this is my favorite. Surely without doubt one of the jewels in operas crown. I find this opera transcendental, and that's from an uneducated working class man who's education was virtually ended at the age of eleven. Timeless reaches everyone.

It's not underrated. It's very popular opera and it has been played a lot of times everywhere, because music and story are easy to listen and to follow.
Verdi is really commercial, that's why I like him so much. I think he's the Michael Jackson or Freddie Mercury of 19th century and I think that when he composed he was thinking to make music for everybody, not just for "expert", exactly as Michael and Freddie did.
preffering german/bel canto over "commercial" operas does not guarantee one place as a serious listener.
a serious listener is not judged by what he listens to, or what he prefers. Your mistake is to broadcast that "serious listeners prefer german and belcant". a serious listener is a "serious listener", regardless of what they prefer. thats like saying: you arent a true food connosier unless you like a specific food which i have just named. its a no-true-scotsman fallacy (wiki that).
I agree, but it still stands though. I know a few people who consider Rossinian music to be superior to that of Verdian, same goes for Wagner and so on.
I never defined a serious listener, I just gave an example on how people with a 'deeper' insight into operas are usually inclined to listening more to Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti and so on than others.
a think the disjointed songspiel format allows for greater continuity in storyline and mood. Dont you think wagner was limited slightly by the idea of gesamtkunstwerk, profound though his attempts were?
@Honken I dont see how it's underrated. It's widely recognized as one of the best operas in the world, one of the most famous and performed, even most people who dont know much about opera could probably recognize the name and even heard some of the music featured on TV or film. Top 3 for me, after La Boheme and Carmen
At the point of that post I had just started to listening to opera seriously and the people who had introduced me weren't really big Verdi fans so that was the impression that I got! :)
Traviata is my all time favourite, followed by L'elisir d'amore and Tosca.
@Honken ALEXANDRE DUMAS PERE WAS BORN NEAR PARIS IN 1802 AND 'COINCIDENTALLY' IN 1902 THE SOCIETY OF GESU(JESUITS) WERE EXPELLED FROM 83 COUNTRIES AND THEIR POPE IS ARAMIS AND HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE COUNT OF MONTE CHRISTO(GENERAL OF THE JESUITS).

I meant by more serious listeners who prefer german and bel canto operas over the more commercial ones (Verdi, Puccini).
