      It's Friedrich Cerha

      Completed Lulu as mercia said; in April 2006, he joined the Joseph Marx Society which he'd helped found.

      What was the other bit?

      Oh yes and he wrote this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Memories-Chi.../dp/0012180173
      Bravissimo Caliban!

      No need for an Anna's Law given the fullness of your answer - anyway she appears to be shouting at rocket and iceberg lettuce this morning

      Over to you for a D please

          That's her mercs - usually having a sniffle or a poot into her floppy hanky because of something Grandma had said

                Ah! the Giles annuals at family Christmases way back!!

                What's the hanky routine got to do with mercia's excuse-me, though?
                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    There are sick notes, Auntie Vera's hankie and mercia's scuse-mes, Caliban - cuttings from the same cloth

                      I see!!

                      Well I'm not feeling very inspired today, so apologies in advance for this D linking opera in Cardiff, a cave and a Finnish church...

                        It's quiet around here ... Opera in Cardiff means St. David's Hall, but as you know it doesn't happen there now much, is it something to do with the Nelson Mandela opera at the Wales Millennium Centre? No, it probably doesn't but it proves I have read your question!

                          Probably irrelevant, but there's a Finnish church in Dallas.

                            Yes, and the Dallas Opera were in Cardiff (I think). Btw, there is a Norwegian Church in Cardiff. But any of the above are not musical references and therefor wrong!

                              Perhaps we're looking for somebody who's been on the Staffa of both WNO and Dallas Opera.

                                Try thinking of companies rather than buildings...

                                Not Dallas... nor Fingal...
