Don's arias performed by a singer (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
diana ross
'a singer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'don's arias performed' is the wordplay.
'performed' indicates an anagram.
'dons'+'arias'='donsarias'
'donsarias' anagrammed gives 'DIANA ROSS'.
'by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
