'spectacular performer's week in quiet country' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'week in quiet country' is the wordplay.
'week' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'quiet' becomes 'sh' ('sh' is used to tell someone to be quiet).
'country' becomes 'Oman' (Oman is an example).
'sh'+'oman'='shoman'
'w' placed inside 'shoman' is 'SHOWMAN'.
