    Ulysses (with variant spellings):

    Opera Ulisse by Dallapiccola
    Music for the film of the book by James Joyce composed by Stanley Myers
    June 16th is 'Bloomsday' the day on which the action of James Joyce's Ulysses takes place.
    A perfect round, sir! (And I omitted Monteverdi to avoid making it too easy!)

    Yours is the V.

                    No. Verdi is a link to the third in my list.

                          Oh! I was convinced that my first line was correct ("New Theatre"/"Nuovo Teatro") but was uncertain about the others. Is there a type of Camillia named after Verdi?

                                I think you might be on to it, cloughie. Violetta fits with a marina too.

                                Hmm, nice day for an ice cream. Good idea
