[chickenfeet]

So far eight out of ten have been identified (see below). That leaves:

5. The wind is from the west, a lazy sea, the sky overcast, a stagnant smell from the lagoon

10. If the water is deep we will swim. If it is too fast we will build boats

Both are works from the 1970s and both libretti are in English. One has been recorded and one, as far as I know, hasn't.

1. Coronation of Poppea - Monteverdi - glitterboy1
2. Salome - Strauss - glitterboy1
3. Abduction from the Seraglio - Mozart - shezan
4. Julius Caesar in Egypt - Handel - glitterboy1
6. Twilight of the Gods - Wagner - damiel
7. Bluebeard's Castle - Bartok - damiel
8. King Arthur - Purcell - kalypso_v
9. Orfeo - Monteverdi - shezan

Whatever they're from, I really like the lyrics to 10.
