Wow, I'd love to hear more about this - it could be the thing that gets me into opera at last.
My two favorite twentieth-century operas are Gian Carlo Menotti's The Medium (1947) and Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes (1945). I can tell you why I like them, if you think it will help.
(I can also tell you why I like more classical operas, but I assume you will have tried those already.)
Also, I doubt you're into 70s prog-jazz, but there's also the 23 minute song Hammill did as Van der Graaf Generator: "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers". Superb, but best approached with caution.
I'm already attracted by the (even misspelled) band name . . .
