      mercia - may I play Barkis, as I is willing to provide a D to get things going...?

      Imagine proceeding from Merseyside to the Alps with a couple of stops in Calais and Paris... Which D would be the common factor?

        Donizetti:giant di Calais, Emilia of Liverpool, and maybe some connection to Paris first performance of Fille dubRegiment, which had links with the Alps.

          Of course...

          ... Donizetti - big tick


          Emilia di Liverpool - tick
          Gianni di Calais - tick

          The other connections are more precise: for instance, don't forget Linda!

                Another tick!

                The rest is padding really - basically they are all operas:

                Emilia di Liverpool
                Gianni di Calais
                Gianni di Parigi
                Ugo, conte di Parigi
                L'assedio di Calais
                Linda di Chamounix


                Time for Clough-eeeeeeee?

                  You seem to have missed Maria de Rudenz, which is set in Switzerland.

                    I thought 6 was already too many (6 too many when it comes to Donizetti operas, imo... )

                              Your assumption is correct - the three are all C20th composers.
