    Are we talking Kalevala - Kullervo? Sibelius's three-parter by the latter name was 1892 I think...

      OK - the bad news: no, it doesn't involve Sibelius. The good news: there's no Welsh involved either!

                well I found an obscure opera by Dvorak premiered in 1874 with King in the title I think, but didn't get any further than that

                  A much more famous opera, in which 'K' features, was premiered the same year.

                            'K' features in 'Boris Godunov' and in 'Khovanshchina'. It is also the subject, and title (following the definite article), of the symphonic work published in 1892.

                                Well done, mercs!
                                'Boris Godunov', which had a premiere in 1874, and 'Khovanshchina', which premiered 12 years later, both include scenes set in The Kremlin, which is the name of a 3-part 'symphonic picture', published in 1892, by Glazunov.
