R Strauss - Macbeth
Tchaikovsky - ?
Parry - Jerusalem
Dyson - Nebuchadnezzar (re Nabucco which is short for Nabucodonosor)(also Dyson's "Hierusalem")

Romeo and Juliet

Not R&J, bbm. The Tchaikovsky title will lead you to another Verdi opera, but the titles are not the same! John, the Parry and Dyson are both correct...I have the Dyson on order from HMV and am waiting for the postal strike backlog to be cleared so it can hit my doormat! The Berlioz title is the same as the Verdi apart from the fact it's in translation...
