No joy there, pw, although you have adopted the right approach to solving this one!
I assume that means it's a common theme rather than a common word. I'm guessing it's nothing to do with 'guess' or 'roll', even though pw said 'Here's a guess to get things rolling'? Britten - The Faerie Queen Walton - Tritons Norgard - Will o the Wisps in Town Puccini Beethoven No, that doesn't work Tommo |

Britten - The Faerie Queen
Walton - Tritons
Norgard - Will o the Wisps in Town
Puccini
Beethoven
Well, Puccini's Le villi would fit that theme...but that's not the right connection. Yes, it is a single word(ish) connection, Tommo, although they're not all in the titles; some digging required. Have another composer: Beethoven Nørgård Walton Puccini Britten R Strauss |

Nørgård - The Red Cloak
Puccini - Il Tabarro
No to both of those, I'm afraid, Pim. Anything to do with dungeons?
Britten Dungeon of Despair. Dungeons in Fidelio and Salome and Tossca
Dungeons do not provide the link here, Ted, but Fidelio is the Beethoven work you need. Beethoven - FidelioNørgård Walton Puccini Britten Richard Strauss Debussy |

Time to offer another composer or six in your quest for glory... Beethoven - FidelioNørgård Walton Puccini Britten Richard Strauss Debussy Satie Shostakovich Dvorák Rimsky-Korsakov Wagner Jacob Ter Veldhuis There is a common word link in the titles of nine of the works, whilst a little digging is needed for the others, but should prove profitable...  |

Step up to the winner's podium, Mr Dough!  For the Walton, I had thought of the episode from Belshazzar’s Feast - Praise Ye The God Of Gold, but Façade will do nicely. I think Satie's Poudre d'Or (Gold Dust) is a lovely title. Just Dvorák to hunt down. |

Well completed, Ron - inspired by the Olympic goldrush of last week! I know some here are glad to see the back of it, but it provided some compelling viewing, not least the cycling and rowing.
