[1] The longest opera is Wagner's Ring Cycle, which lasts for about 15 hours - depending on performances / conductor etc. It is in four parts each an opera in its own right - Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried and Götterdämmerung. [2] The longest frequently performed opera is Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg which can last over 5 hours. [3] However, during December 1973 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City a performance of 'The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin', by Robert Wilson, lasted almost 13 hr. 25 min.
Without knowing every opera, I guess Richard Wagner is probably on the top5 list.
