Here's another quartet to connect. It's a common word link, although a little digging beyond the work's title may be required in some cases to spot it.
Prokofiev
Sibelius
Puccini
Tippett

 Impressive stuff, Ron! It was indeed an icy connection I was after, the Puccini being Liù's Tu che di gel sei cinta (You who are made of ice). |

Bravo Ron! (Now that's what I call ruthless efficiency, IGI!  ) |

Morning, Ruth. Three does not provide the magic answer here, I'm afraid.

Aha, IGI!
I'm pretty sure I have this one, but won't blurt it all out - that's no fun for any one else, is it? I'll just drop in from time to time to see how things are going....

Yes, you're there, Ruth and opilec! Have some Christmas The Tchaikovsky, based on the Gogol story which R-K used for his Christmas Eve, is usually performed under the title Cherevichki (The Slippers) or Vakula the Smith (the original version). You could also have picked Nutcracker, as they are all set (wholly or partly) on Christmas Eve. Bax – Christmas EveMusgrave – A Christmas CarolPuccini – La Bohème (Acts I & II set on Christmas Eve) Rimsky-Korsakov – Christmas Eve Tchaikovsky - Vakula the Smith/ The Slippers/ Nutcracker |
