    Yes, amongst other things. The order is chronological (as it was with the first set of clues).

        Schütz and Weber: yes. Strauss: no. It is an earlier Richard.

                  ... sorry, silly of me.

                  I think we're thinking of Dresden.

                  If so, my kohlslaw will for the moment be incomplete, because I can't place a Bristolian Thomas. But I think I can get the rest to fit...

                    Dresden it is. Where do Faust and Turandot fit in? That should lead you to Thomas.

                        Try a different Turandot for a first ever performance.

                        Schütz, Weber, and Wagner all had a specific role in Dresden.

                            That's the three composer/conductors dealt with.

                            You are looking for three operas.

                                No. What you were given were parts of the titles of three operas.
