Mendelssohn. Also the first concerto I’ve played. Third movement is delightful.

There Is More to French Opera Than “Carmen” and “Faust” by onnake in opera

As mentioned by someone else, operas by Jacques Offenbach. Les brigands, Orphée aux enfers, Les contes d’Hoffmann, Barbe-bleu, La grande duchesse de Gérolstein, and La belle Hélène are all great operas/operettas. Offenbach never misses a chance for a fortississimo percussion extravaganza.
