Round 13: Tossup 14

This is the first type of place in the title of a slow piano piece in mixed 6/8 and 9/8 time by Ralph (“rafe”) Vaughan Williams. A Rossini piece for clarinet and orchestra draws on an opera titled for one of these places in which a king disguises himself to seduce Elena. In the waltz from a suite titled for one of these places, violins introduce the jaunty melody “rest, C-sharp, short B, long D, C-sharp.” In that suite titled for one of these places, a solo oboe plays a long F-sharp, then a scalar ascent from low B to F-sharp. The “Dance of the Goblets” is from a (10[1])ballet titled for one of these places that Lev Ivanov and Marius Petipa revived in 1895. For 10 points, what type of place titles a ballet featuring Prince Siegfried, the evil sorcerer von Rothbart, and the swan Odette, with music by Tchaikovsky? ■END■
