'i am sir with opera in production' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'i am sir with opera in production' is the wordplay.
'i am' becomes 'I'm' (contraction).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'in production' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'sir' put after 'opera' is 'operasir'.
'operasir' anagrammed gives 'presario'.
'im'+'presario'='IMPRESARIO'
