Are we looking at 'three' as the connection, with 'quattro' the odd one out?
Wolf-Ferrari - I quattro rusteghi
Weill – The Threepenny Opera
Weber – Die drei Pintos

Excellent! Can you name other works (operatic or otherwise) that contain numbers (not symphonies, concertos, etc, of course!).

An unsuccessful Verdi opera? Are we thinking 'Un giorno di regno' - King for a (one) day? |

Thanks, Tommo, for the largest number so far!
Yes, GIORNO is correct: what do you think of it? I have the Philips recording: I love it (great Rossinian fun).

Yes, very Rossinian. I have the Philips recording too and saw a concert performance of it at the RFH in 1999 when the Royal Opera were in exile. Vladimir Chernov was the star of the evening. A very different comedy from Falstaff, of course, being from opposite ends of his career, but worth an occasional staging.
