Sadly, there's no Bach in my answer, not even W F (aka Woof Woof?)

It has Offen been said in the Underworld! Is the W the name of the composer of the Tpt Conc!

Oh and is the Wonderland anything to do with Lewis?

Funny, I ended looking at Perelandra in my researching.

Surely the W is Wedding (not that I can find the others yet)? Ed said it was "not a personal name."

I thought that flay's lovely contributions would have helped you all agree over the W word

No, scb, again but you're moving towards the correct near-operatic field.

[edashtav]

Yes,Anton, Arthur Benjamin wrote the music for Orlando's Silver Wedding. It was staged in the "pop-up" Festival Theatre in Battersea Park as part of the 1951 Festival of Britain.

[edashtav]

Camacho's Wedding?

Yes, that's the one!

Mendelssohn, aged 16, and a singspiel rather than a fully-fledged opera. (Seecond Staged production, Oxford , 1987)
