Entertainment for the time after work (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opera

'entertainment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'time after work' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'era' (an era is a period of time).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'era' put after 'op' is 'OPERA'.

'for the' is the link.

(Other definitions for opera that I've seen before include "La Traviata or Tosca, say" , "Aida, for example" , "some theatrics" , "eg 'Aida'" , "One with soap perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
