I already looked at Donizzeti' operas. I could not find one that ends on al. May be it is slavic word.

The opera's title is a name (in Italian, although the English would give you the same initial letter)...as long as you don't lose your head searching!!  Wink

Yes! (Giving you a third A!!!)

Anna Bolena - Donizetti
Dvorak
Taras Bulba - Janacek
Italian Symphony - Mendelssohn
Aubade - Poulenc
Alborada del gracioso - Ravel
Little Russian Symphony - Tchaikovsky

The Dvorak sounds as if it should be vocal!  Wink

I'll let you have that one, t-p; I actually had the Hussite Song in mind, but it gives you the same letter:

Anna Bolena - Donizetti
Hero’s Song - Dvorak
Taras Bulba - Janacek
Italian Symphony - Mendelssohn
Aubade - Poulenc
Alborada del gracioso - Ravel
Little Russian Symphony - Tchaikovsky

So, you've got all seven letters...now scramble and find the hidden piece!

Correct! The March of the War Priests is the most popular number, but the overture is well worth hearing. I particularly like this version on period instruments:
