Vivacity of Bizet and Rossini in operatic overtures (4)
I believe the answer is:
brio
'vivacity' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bizet and rossini in operatic overtures' is the wordplay.
'bizet' becomes 'b' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'overtures' says to take the initial letters.
The first letters of 'rossini in operatic' is 'rio'.
'b'+'rio'='BRIO'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brio that I've seen before include "(Of music) spirit" , "Vivacity - spirit" , "Vigour (in music)" , "In music, con ..... means with dash and verve" , "Sparkle" .)
