Opera is like all music, favorites are personal choice. My favorite is La Boheme=the Bohemians. La Giaconda, is another good one. La Favorita is one I don't know. La Traviata is not one of my favorites but it is ok. La Serva Padrona is another one. La in Italian has a lot to do with the masculine/feminine gender of the main word. The Elixir of Love in Italian starts with Un. The Masked Ball starts with Un. The Magic Flute in German starts with DIE. The Bat is Die Fledermaus. I can talk about opera all day but I don't want to get carried away. If you want more info I have several suggestions

Because in Italian, French, Spanish and Latin, "La" means The. So as most operas titles start with The (e.g. THE Phantom of the Opera).

Most operas are in Italian or another romantic language; therefore la means the.

A lot of operas are written in Italian or French and "La" is the feminine form of "the" in both languages.
example : La Boheme

the answers you've got are almost all correct but not completely correct. Yes "La" does mean "the" but it is a singular and feminine "the"...... the example of La Boheme is perfect because of the "La" the translation is The Bohemian Girl not The Bohemians

I don't think they do. For every Italian opera whose name starts with 'La', I'm sure I could give you one that doesn't

It usually means "The" as in La Bohemian, the bohemians, in another language it has another meaning, La Boheme is one of my favorite operas !!!!!

La usually means "A" or "the", but sometimes words in different languages must start with la, un, une, le, etc... It's sometimes just one of those grammar rules.
