Shall we assume that the last duo, Erich & Errol refers to Korngold and a film or shall we not?

Many a true word, Anna....
And can the Benjamin and Peter be any other than Britten and Pears?

Elizabeth I and Essex - triple if you count Earl of Essex
Britten wrote Gloria (based on Strachey's E & E) and Pears played Essex
Donizetti (Gaetano) wrote the opera Roberto Devereux - who was Essex (role premèred by Giovanni Basadonna)
Korngold wrote the score for 'The Private Lives Of Elizabeth And Essex' and Errol Flynn played Essex

Correct in every detail (assuming 'Gloria' is an abridged version of 'Gloriana' ).
The thought of the triple hadn't actually occurred to me! The alternative title of the Donizetti is 'Il Conte di Essex'.
An 'F' at your convenience, my dear Sir.

Nah mate - Gloria... Set in Billericay, later suppressed by the composer - abaht Liz from Essex and her mum Gloria... Peter Pears took the title 'petticoat' role a treat, they say.
