8. Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds - I have never read the series

 We both should read it. :-)
 

6. The Culture Series by Iain M. Banks - I have never read the series

 You should rectify that.
 

4. Triplanetary by E.E. "Doc" Smith - this is on my reread list

 You can't talk about space opera without Doc Smith, but this is an
odd choice.  Why a single novel and not the whole Lensman series?
And if you select an exemplary novel, _Galactic Patrol_ would be
my pick.
 

1A. The Foundation Series by Issac Asimov - yes

 Whut!??  That's no space opera.
