        1998: Matthias Pintscher – Thomas Chatterton, 25 May - this opera was premiered as detailed in Dresden and therefore takes its correct chronological position after those identified by vints in #2890.

        E by gum should go to the aforementioned vints who was in Dresden while I was still in Cambois......

        ..... oh yes the boy Chatterton was a poet from Bristol and seems to inspire operas all over the place ....

          Just missing Prinzessin Turandot, opera by Gottfried von Einem, premiered in Dresden on 5 February 1944.

          I agree that vinteuil got most of the bits and so should be invited to exercise us (or exasperate us) with an E.

            ... o, I think antongould's effort had greater merit!

            But if you insist; thank you.

            Perhaps an easy one -

            What E might connect a capital goose in Spain with Rameau and Saint-Saëns ?

                ... indeed we do!

                Would you care to carve up the goose?

                Then time for a Festive or Feverishly Fastidious F

                  Cairo is the capital of Egypt. Mozart composed part of an opera, L'oca del Cairo (The Cairo Goose), K422, which is set in Spain.

                  Rameau composed an opera-ballet Les fêtes de l'Hymen et de l'Amour, ou Les dieux d'Égypte.

                  The Fifth Piano Concerto by Saint-Saëns is known as "L'Égyptien".

                    Excellent.

                    The Rameau I had in mind was actually l' Égyptienne from the 1728 Nouvelles Suites - but very pleased with les dieux d' Égypte (I had forgotten that was the alternative title for Les fêtes de l'Hymen et de l'Amour.)

                    Here is the keyboard piece -

                    Although principally known as a dramatic composer, Jean-Philippe Rameau also made a substantial contribution to the French keyboard repertoire, an important ...
