Here, I got this from Wikipedia.org

Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebotes, K. 35 (1767)
Apollo et Hyacinthus, K. 38 (1767)
In 1767 Mozart composed his first opera, if one may thus call the scholastic musical drama Apollo et Hyacinthus.
Bastien und Bastienne, K. 50=46b (1768)
With respect to that first attempt, Bastien et Bastienne generates a definitely different result. The young musician is already able to dominate texts and his music emanates pastoral joy and spontaneous fascination.
La finta semplice, K. 51 (1768)
La finta semplice can be considered Mozart's first - only partially achieved - approach to the Opera buffa genre.
Mitridate, re di Ponto, K. 87 (1770)
Then, the first Italian operas were composed, upon assignments received in Milan and Salzburg: Mitridate, re di Ponto, Ascanio in Alba, Il sogno di Scipione, and Lucio Silla. In all of these works, Mozart still shows some awkwardness while moving in the traditional opera seria frame. The librettos are often dramatically weak and improbable. Nevertheless, one can find in these works some unambiguously Mozartian distinguishing marks, though the weight, substance and formal perfection of the older Mozart are still lacking.
Ascanio in Alba, K. 111 (1771)
Betulia Liberata, an oratorio, K. 118=74c (1771)
On the subject of Judith and Holofernes.
Il sogno di Scipione, K. 126 (1772)
Lucio Silla, K. 135 (1772)
Thamos, Kö*** in Ägypten (1773, 1775)
La finta giardiniera, K. 196 (1774-5)
With La finta giardiniera, Mozart comes back to the opera buffa, outranging all previous models of that genre. The libretto is still weak, but characters are not schematic anymore and become real individuals, with music definitely contributing to their definition.
Il re pastore, K. 208 (1775)
Zaide, K. 344 (1779)
Idomeneo, K. 366 (1781)
Die Entführung aus dem Serail, K. 384 (1782)
After many years from his debut in the German music drama (Singspiel), Mozart came back to this genre with Die Entführung aus dem Serail and, finally, with Die Zauberflöte.
L'oca del Cairo, K. 422 (1783)
Lo sposo deluso, K. 430
Der Schauspieldirektor, K. 486 (1786)
Le nozze di Figaro, K. 492 (1786)
Le nozze di Figaro, the first of the three great operatic works, all belonging to the opera buffa genre (though the Don Giovanni obviously involves tragic elements), that Mozart composed with libretto by Lorenzo da Ponte. Le nozze di Figaro was taken from the comedy Le mariage de Figaro by Pierre Beaumarchais, a work that was hardly accepted - and performed - in France, due to its denunciation contents against the flaws of the higher dominating classes (Clergy and Aristocracy), opposed to the healthy activism of the Third Estate. In Austria, too, Mozart's opera met the opposition of the imperial court, though it should be said that Da Ponte had purged the most shocking aspects from the original text. Actually, the opera was executed during the Spring of 1786 at the Vienna Burgtheater, with enormous success.
Don Giovanni, K. 527 (1787)
The trilogy of Da Ponte librettos continued with Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte, both dealing - but in highly different ways - with the subject of love between men and women.
Così fan tutte, K. 588 (1789)
Die Zauberflöte, K. 620 (1791)
Die Zauberflöte has been criticized for the absurdities of its libretto (by Emanuel Schikaneder), that was probably rehandled several times. It also achieved scarce success at its first performance. Nevertheless its music proposes elements of great brightness and spirituality, with the composition of sacred and profane love in unique delight. This work was also influenced by Freemasonry.
La clemenza di Tito, K. 621 (1791)

22, to the best of my knowledge. BQ1: Probably The Magic Flute, but I'm partial to The Abduction of Seraglio. BQ2: So many to choose from. I'm going to say Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E-flat major (first movement). BQ3. The Beatles. No contest.
