And last night Ferney pretended to be baffled by Mr Balfe who wrote... ....?

D'you know ... having looked up all the arias and choruses in The Bohemian Girl and drawn a blank, I then noticed tht he'd also written an opera called L'etoile de Scunthorpe - so I then spent ages looking up references for stars, so that I could be a right clever clogs and post a on its own as an answer!

Nurse! I think it's time for my medication, please.

Too clever for your own good, ferney? (How did you get Scunny through Netnanny?)

Here's the score for Tiggy:

Coleslaw:

The Seville Suite was composed in 1992 by Bill Whelan who went on to do Riverdance in 1994
Isaac Albéniz: El Corpus Christi en Sevilla (also known as El Corpus en Sevilla, or Fête-dieu à Seville)
And the Irish composer Michael William Balfe (1808 – 1870) who wrote the opera L'étoile de Seville, premiered in 1845.

Let's have some Riverdance. Its novelty earned an incredible audience reaction. Credit where it is due

And credit to Tiggy

Apparently Etienne-Nicolas Méhul wrote Le 18 fructidor, for voice and continuo - ponder ye upon that!

Janacek’s walkabout.

Does this involve Google Translate from Czech?

Gitanjali / Milhaud ?????? no idea

Spot on with Zemlinsky & Janacek
Not Milhaud, another Frenchman. With a somewhat medicinal surname - Flay should know
