Putting together orchestral opening as interlude for musical (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
lion king
'musical' is the definition.
(The Lion King is a stage musical)
'putting together orchestral opening as interlude' is the wordplay.
'putting together' becomes 'linking' ('link' can be a synonym of 'put together').
'opening' suggests taking the first letters.
'as interlude' is an insertion indicator (an interlude goes in the middle of something).
The initial letter of 'orchestral' is 'o'.
'linking' enclosing 'o' is 'LION KING'.
'for' acts as a link.
