The Bizet is a friend of Carmen.
The Verdi opera is correct: the character is a baritone but not Falstaff.
The Gershwin starts with an S.

Correct, except for the Bizet: if you get it, you'll immediately discover the connection!

Yes! Do you know the Berlioz and Gounod?

(Toyota) Cressida
Mercedes
(Nissan) Serena
Ford

Clue to the car suggested by Gounod = Shakespeare + (by a phonetic trick) Berg
Clue to Berlioz = Holst's PLANETS

Bizet - Mercedes
Verdi - Ford
Puccini – Suzuki
Walton – Cressida
Gershwin – Serena
Gounod - Romeo
Berlioz - Mercury?

I think we're after cars/ makes of vehicles aren't we? (Sorry, a bit slow - non-driver here!) There's me thinking of objects in the operas - knives, scarves, money!

Neither correct, although the Sousa is close! I should have added that you're not looking for a common word link, but a connection between the four pieces.

Neither, I'm afraid. I might offer a pair of alternatives to Sousa and Ketèlbey later... Wink

I like your thinking - it's along the right sort of lines - but, no.  Smiley
