Well, the amount of Verdi operes I have on CD and DVD is scary, lol. I got every opera he wrote on CD (including Il Giorno di Regno, the first verison of Macbeth, and both versions of the re-composed operas Stiffelio/Aroldo and I Lombardi/Jérusalem), and a lot of them on DVD as well, some (Traviata, Nabucco, Don Carlos, Aida, Rigoletto, Simone Boccanegra)) in more than one version, though a few of those I recorded from TV.
Then there's also impressive CD collection of obscure Donizetti operas and whatever of his operas I could get on DVD, I got (including a Maria Stuarda sung in English which even works; though I'm looking for a good Italian one as well).
I have more Wagner, of course, and some Bellini and Rossini and more. My father has the Puccini colletion. :) And all the Mahler symphoninas several times over on CD and those old black thingies. He's as crazy as I am.
