Pastoral setting for a vulgar type in operatic excerpt (7)
I believe the answer is:
arcadia
'pastoral setting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arcadia that I've seen before include "Idealised country region" , "Idyllic country of song-loving shepards" , "Idealised rural region" , "Idealised rustic paradise" , "Tom Stoppard play" .)
