Making show — and opera, potentially (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
on parade
'making' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.
'and opera potentially' is the wordplay.
'potentially' indicates anagramming the letters (letters have the potential to spell a new word).
'and'+'opera'='andopera'
'andopera' is an anagram of 'ON PARADE'.
'show' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for on parade that I've seen before include "being reviewed" , "Displayed" , "Showing" , "A padrone in ceremonial assembly of troops" .)
