It's rolled back for the opening (5)
I believe the answer is:
debut
'the opening' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for debut that I've seen before include "The coming out of a society girl" , "First public appearance of performer" , "entrance" , "Appear in public for the first time" , "First attempt" .)
