<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">musical stage work</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for opera that I've seen before include "could be soap" , "Eg, La traviata" , "Throw a rope for this show" , "Aida, for example" , "musical performance" .)
