      If you mean La Clemenza di Tito, then no. He is not only a character, but the opera is named after him.

        is that referring to your W ?

            The W is an object, not a character.

                Yes, but it is about the whole lot of them really, but I couldn't resist the pun. It's about his boss and where they were.

                [edit] - let's say it's about where they were.

                  The Andalusian hairdresser would not have bothered with women. Whiskers would have occupied him somewhat.

                      Well I wouldn't give the answer now, would I?

                      What sort of hairdresser deals with men, and name me a couple of cities in Analucia?

                          Wordova, Walaga (and, as a free bonus, Wuelva). Might the hairdresser be a woiffeur?

                                That was a typo, not a clue!

                                So we have the Barber of Seville (I am sorry I doubted you, mercs), and the shadowless Frau.

                                Now we need the third work pertaining to Scott and his hapless chums.

                                Then find a W common to the three works
