Opera recommendations on vinyl

Hello, I'm looking for opera record recommendations, preferably something currently available on line. I recently purchased Madama Butterfly and would like more of that variety. Carmen comes to mind but I'm sure there are many others. Please give me any specifics necessary in acquiring these LPs.

Thanks,
ethannnn

Try Traviata & Aida on EMI (with Callas), & Carmen on Decca (Solti & a reasonable cast). They should be easy to find on LP. There's also Don Giovanni on DG & EMI.

If you liked Madama Butterfly, and more specifically Puccini, you will love "Montserrat Caballe Puccini Arias" Angel S-36711. This is my all time favorite album of opera music. This LP, as far as I know, is not currently available; you will need to find it used. It is also on CD on Angel(EMI) CDC-747841 2. The music on this album is so beautiful it's worth having, even if you have to get the CD! Do not miss this wonderful album! Good luck in your search.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll use it to go record shopping this weekend in San Franciso/Berkeley. If there are any other recommendations, please let me know!
