A Scot translating one of Puccini's operas (5)
I believe the answer is:
tosca
'puccini's operas' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'a scot translating one' is the wordplay.
'translating' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'translated' mean this).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'scot' with letters rearranged gives 'tosc'.
'tosc'+'a'='TOSCA'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tosca that I've seen before include "Luigi -, Italian playwright" , "Opera - a Scot (anag)" , "Puccini's 2 dn heroine" , "Opera at Ascot?" , "One of Puccini's 19" .)
