        Not D'Oyly, not Donat.

        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.

        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              Dragon Opera in Cardiff, and The Dragon of Wantley for the first and third elements? (Must check on the tennis now!)

                Dragon Opera: check

                Dragon of Wantley? Not on the card. What's the Finnish connection, as a matter of interest?

                    No, just watching telly...

                    Oh! I see!



                    Nope!

                    You need a 'character' from German opera

                    And a Finnish church opera...

                        Bingo that's the card filled

                        So for Anna's Law: in addition to the two Dragons above, we had the Dragon opera company in Cardiff.

                        EEEEEEEEEE lad, I do believe 'tis theee

                              Just a 'relaunch' for late risers, not a prod! Unlike Andy Murray last night, I'm in no rush.
