Can someone explain these two?
1a Outspoken person desiring brilliance (6) -U-T-E Lustre (=brilliance) I suppose but why?
9a Travelling performances of Puccini, say, not for everyone. This could be a plus (8)
-P-R-T-R Looks like Operator (Puccini=opera) but again why?
TIA

Remove (not) the u (universal/for everyone) from opera tour

1 If you said it aloud (outspoken) it'd be Luster, someone who lusts, desires.
Lustre (brilliance) sounds like luster (person desiring)
Operato(u)r
Operator - sounds like opera tour(travelling perfomances)
Remove (not) the u (universal/for everyone) from opera tour
Minus 'u' (for everyone)
