Its a geocaching quiz relating to Operas. The question is :
The Dominican monk Friar Jacob, in cahoots with Robespierre! Any ideas guys?

been looking at this for ages but I don't understand geocaching so don't know what is required xx

Geocaching is some sort of game when people armed with GPS devices try to follow clues to hidden 'treasure'. As for the clue no idea.

Just a guess

The Jacobin was an opera by Dvorak the name can relate to a Dominican Friar and also a political group in Paris linked to Robespierre

Again- I don't understand what is required.
Robespierre was the leader of the "Jacobins" though.

Probably requires the setting of an opera involving the characters mentioned in the clue.

We are often like two peas in a pod, Mally!

Jacobins, like Robespierre, were so named because their grouping conspired in a Dominican priory ( Jacobins being another name for Dominicans) in Paris, if that's any help...
