I was mildly concerned erstwhile I uncovered ARIA arsenic nan first reply today. It was sitting prominently successful nan top-left area of nan board, and fixed that nan taxable hint was 'Sing-song' it seemed apt to beryllium a solution. And it was. However, each I cognize astir ARIAs is that they are an opera point – and I cognize astir arsenic overmuch astir opera arsenic I do astir encephalon surgery. Probably less, frankly.

Fortunately, this wasn't a Strands puzzle each astir opera, but alternatively 1 astir VOCALMUSIC.
