The first element of the puzzle is the name of an opera company, the second is a character in an opera, and the third is part of the title of an opera."...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..."
