Learning a Strauss opera from scratch is a daunting task from the technical point of view but musically they are mostly straightforward. For a newcomer I would say that Puccini and particularly Bohème and Tosca are some of the most difficult operas to learn or at least to fit into the first time you play them. A top opera orchestra knows these pieces backwards, the conductors expect that and don’t always beat as clearly as you might want. They probably won’t beat the silent bars for instance, some will conduct the music rather than beating time so there might not be any clues as to which beat of the bar you’re actually on and there are tempi changes or rubati every few bars.
"How do you cope with the infinite number of subtleties?" Experience, knowing what happens in every bar and having those pieces in your bones!
