Neither am I. (An opera buff.)
Not to worry: I'll hang around until something within my narrow ambit comes along. And then no doubt somebody else will get it just before me.
Edit: and now I'm wondering if an ambit can be said to be narrow. When I think about it, I don't really know what one is.

Well done, Tapiola.
For Simon's and Caliban's benefit it is the triptych of operas comprising Il Tabarro (the cloak), Suor Angelica (the nun) and Gianni Schicchi (the will).
I was toying with setting 'Theremin',
especially after I saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDoV3sMgDhE

Good question, that. I knew Suor A was about a load of nuns, and that the plot of Gianni Sch. hinges on a will. Had I remembered that the Tabarro meant Cloak, I could have got that."...the isle is full of noises,

Is it against the rules to replace one's conundrum with another?
But it is not against the rules to provide two distinct conundrums for the same letter - so we look forward to it!
Please "edit" your original post and insert conundrum No 2 into it. Thanks!
