This feels like heresy, as Die Zauberflote is one of my very favorite operas (it's hilarious!) and in fact probably the reason I started Opera Performance in college in the first place, but I've been wanting to see La Fanciulla del West done full out for ages. So if I were you, going to the opera alone, and tickets were not as great but half as expensive, I'd pick the Puccini. Either way, I think you're going to see something wonderful.
