sorry, no
those people are roles in operas by VComment

is this more difficult than I thought ?
probably a bit unfair as all these people appear in operas by other composers
the King of Albania is ScanderbegComment

I think we must be talking Vivaldi operas, no? There's a Montezuma, and endless Kings of this and Emperors of that. I recall there is an unfortunately-named ARSILDA, Queen of Pontus tooOriginally posted by mercia View Post

So - after wrestling with an absurdly slow internet signal at work -
Vivaldi operas:
Motezuma [sic.] Emperor of Mexico
Griselda features Gualtiero, King of Thessaly
Scanderbeg as you point out was King of Albania
Farnace was King of Pontus"...the isle is full of noises,

Only having just looked in, that seems a perfect answer Cali.
Was totally surprised you didn't get my Vapors hint to others, but I guess you never were a New Romantic!!!

Never heard of them? That was my fave 80s hit .... I could talk about steamed rice if you'd prefer that?Originally posted by Caliban View PostOMG never got near that. Never heard of them. I thought you must be talking about steamed rice or something....
Edit: The reason I thought I was wrong was that I asked if one was a vocal, you said No, so I dismissed Takemitsu's "A Song of Circles and Triangles"Comment

I shall be offline in a meeting and then on a bike for a while... so, confidence in my V answer bolstered by the encouragement of Anna, Queen of Coleslaw (Vivaldi should certainly have set her story to music! Opera Buffa? or Romantic Tragedy? 
), here to give fellow-puzzlers something to be going on with, is a W:
This second-barrel W links Alkan and some fancy footwork with Boléro and Louis XIV's confessor"...the isle is full of noises,

Is Cali's new puzzle a premature Halloween project? <spooky emoticon>
(It's ok, I'm going offline shortly)
Edit, I thought it may be something to do with Colette, but cannot find a doube barrelled, but she did feature in two of the clues.Comment
