Performance that might elicit a "Brava!" (4)

I believe the answer is:

aria

(Other definitions for aria that I've seen before include "Song for solo voice from an oratorio, cantata etc" , "Song such as "Your Tiny Hand is Frozen"" , "Puccini item" , "Song from an opera (4)" , "Nessun Dorma, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
