I believe the answer is:

opera singer

'one who plays a noted part in the theatre' is the definition.
(person who sings musical notes in a theatre)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for opera singer that I've seen before include "Stage performer" , "Butt perhaps" , "Prima donna" , "La Scala artiste" , "diva" .)

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