New Operas I liked

I keep a list of operas that are new to me, label ONew2Me.  Since I started the blog, I have seen 193 operas that were new to me.  Only 49 of these are operas that were themselves new within 5 years of my first viewing. That means their first performances were in 2000 or later.  Everything else was new to me before the blog.  Since my total list of operas seen ever as of 9/12/19 is 370, I could be doing a lot better.

Out of these 49 operas only 9 made my favorites for that year list. These are:

L'Amour de Loin	Saariaho	Finnish National Opera	10/28/2005	Peter Sellars	Esa-Pekka Salonen
Tea: A Mirror of Soul	Dun	Santa Fe Opera	7/27/2007	Amon Miyamoto	Lawrence Renes
Bonesetter's Daughter	Wallace	San Francisco Opera	9/26/2008	Chen Shi-Zheng	Steven Sloane
Il Postino	Catán	LA Opera	11/26/2011	Ron Daniels	Grant Gershon
Moby-Dick	Heggie	San Francisco Opera	10/22/2012	Leonard Foglia	Patrick Summers
Ainadamar	Golijov	Opera Parallèle	2/17/2013	Brian Staufenbiel	Nicole Paiement
27	Gordon	Saint Louis	6/18/2014	James Robinson	Michael Christie
Autumn Sonata	Fagerlund	Finnish National Opera	10/23/2017	Stéphane Braunschweig	John Storgårds
Lessons in Love and Violence	Benjamin	ROH	5/26/2018	Katie Mitchell	Benjamin
Marnie	Muhly	Metropolitan Opera	11/10/2018	Michael Mayer	Robert Spano

It doesn't seem like much of a list. The dates are for the blog entries.  I haven't done a list for 2019 yet, but here are some candidates:

 

Bon Appétit!	Hoiby	Des Moines	7/18/2019
If I Were You	Heggie	San Francisco Opera	8/5/2019	Keturah Stickann	Nicole Paiement
Breaking The Waves	Mazzoli	West Edge	8/11/2019	Mark Streshinsky	Jonathan Khuner

I would welcome opinions on these.  Something might be omitted because it came before I began blogging.  Feel free to suggest others.
