      Well done you

        The only duck I can suggest is Orville - but I can't think its that. I can't!

          Finding this very tantalising... Is the O a title of a work?

              It is an object (but in no way objectionable IMHO)

                plated suggests (to me) gold but I don't think coq d'or has opened the proms

                  Plated to me suggested Orange with the duck but I don't think they've done Love of the Three Oranges on 1st Night either.

                    oops, misread the question - "prom opener" not "proms opener"

                    EDIT - Dimitri's Golden Age opened prom 49 of the 2006 season
                    Rimski's Coq d'Or opened prom 48 of the 1998 season

                        You lot are obviously too hungry. But sadly this duck was snapped up!
