No maidens or damsels in distress. The connecting word is in all the titles apart from the Rimsky, which requires a bit of digging.

Very good, John. The first three are correct. The Rimsky's squirrelled away in another opera.  |

Yes - Tsar Saltan. One of the three wonders (or miracles) is a magical squirrel!

Super opera - wish there was a modern recording or a staging in the UK. I have a copy of the old Nebolsin/ Bolshoi recording on mp3 - for anyone who loves the orchestral suite, I would urge them to hear the entire opera.

Thanks IGI. I will investigate at least the suite of music fromTsar Saltan as I'm very fond of Rimsky-Korsakov, including a recording of the suite for Kitezh (right spelling this time) which I captured off ClassicFM last year.

Those two are correct! Very efficient, IGI, but not ruthlessly so!

Sorry, didn't spot the Mussorgsky.
I'll give it you! I was thinking of the chicks in their shells. Well done, IGI.
