'soap makers having hesitation in providing entertainment' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'soap makers having hesitation' is the wordplay.
'makers' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'maker' mean this (can make this from the letters)).
'having' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hesitation' becomes 'er' (sound used when hesitating).
'soap' anagrammed gives 'opas'.
'opas' enclosing 'er' is 'OPERAS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for operas that I've seen before include "'La Boheme and La Traviata, say (6)'" , "Nabucco and Tosca" , "eg Faust, Salome" , "O spare these dramas" , "Dramatic musicals in which words are sung" .)
