Name Dropping #25: Opera Composers #3

Each hint is the beginning of the name of a major opera composer. Match it to their surname by selecting from among the choices given. The Additional Hint displays the composer’s birth year and (if deceased) death year; and the title of one of their best-known operas. Use the Additional Hint to distinguish between composers with the same first name or with similar first names, or just to jog your memory.
