Paul.....my favourite setter but I was disappointed with today's prize. I completed it but, for most of the 'significant' clues, I found myself having to look for a solution that would fit the sequence and then working back to the parsing. My own ignorance really.

I'm getting fed up with this - not my specialist subject. Is 12,22 from Cavilliera rusticana, simon?

no, it's not what i guessed

Turandot?

thanks liz

It's from Carmen

I'm going to take a break to cook stew. I'll have another look later
