It isn't HERCULES, since it's an oratorio?

Ah, it is Hercules! (Sorry, I knew Hercules had been staged and assumed it was an opera!)

Well done! The magic of Disney won through in the end!

Prokofiev – Cinderella
Tchaikovsky – Sleeping Beauty
Nielsen – Aladdin
Handel - Hercules
Korngold – The Adventures of Robin Hood
Zemlinsky – Die Seejungfrau (Little Mermaid)
Elliott Carter – Pocahontas
Schmidt – Notre Dame (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)
Koechlin – The Jungle Book

Thanks, IGI!

     Before bidding you all goodnight (Disney's magic is sending me to sleep!), can I refer you to my fairly easy quartet (Msg 1919)? Good luck!

PS Handel's BIGGLES must be a lost opera, as I can't find it in any opera guide, though I hope at least one fragment will be discovered soon  Grin

Whoops! Don't know how that one slipped through the net. Will get to work on that later - here's a reminder:

Wagner
Offenbach
Verdi
Satie

Robbers?

Offenbach - Les brigands
Verdi – I Masnadieri

Or an 'oxen' connection?

Satie – The Angora Ox
Offenbach - Le docteur Ox

Can't think of Wagner and Verdi connections though!

Morning, IGI!

Clues:
1. The Offenbach is an obscure opera/operetta  Lips sealed
2. The Wagner was recently mentioned on this thread  Cheesy
3. The Verdi may be sung in French or Italian  Wink

Will check back before midday.

Is it a geographical connection?

Wagner – Lohengrin – Elsa von Brabant
Offenbach – Geneviève de Brabant
Verdi – Don Carlos – the Flemish deputies at the Auto-da-Fé are from Brabant
Satie – Geneviève de Brabant

I also was thinking about that connection, but I didn't think of the Flemish deputies. Undecided

Hello, pim! Can you think of a 'Flemish' Gurney song?

Another one of the musical anagrams for this damp Bank Holiday Monday. Identify a work by each of the following composers, some well-known, some less so. Then, take the initial letter of each work and rearrange them to make a ninth work by one of the composers. Here are your (alphabetically listed) composers:

Beethoven
Delius
Handel
Liszt
Massenet
Suk
Verdi
Wagner
