German voices introduce bit of Puccini, for example, in bar (8)
I believe the answer is:
bavarian
'german' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bavarian that I've seen before include "Southern German" , "from the Continent" .)
I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Crosaire) and the Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
