Although I don't own any, I love any Stravinksy opera.

"L'Enfant et les Sortileges" by Ravel comes to mind. This short children's opera has cute character bits played by cats, trees, wallpaper characters, tea service, mathematician, squirrels, and a dragonfly.
Bernstein's "Candide". I am always amused by the soprano aria, "Glitter and be Gay".
Being partial to lyrical music, it is hard to find 20th century opera that is actually appealing to listen to. The Santa Fe Opera always puts on one new opera each summer and as avant garde as I would like to be, I have not been impressed by any of the touted world premiers...
I am not very familiar with Stravinsky operas. Do you know of anyone who could take me under their wing and show me the wonderful world of his music?

"Jesus Christ, Superstar" by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It counts, I think, since it's a "rock opera"
