Play's opening (5,5)

I believe the answer is:

first night

(Other definitions for first night that I've seen before include "(Time of) initial performance" , "to which critics regularly invited" , "Play's opening performance" , "Start of honeymoon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
