Support a production at La Scala, perhaps (4)

I believe the answer is:

aida

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'production at la scala perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'support a' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'aid' (to aid is to help or support).
'aid'+'a'='AIDA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aida that I've seen before include "Princess" , "she dies entombed" , "Fragrant shrub" , "Verdi opera" , "Egyptian opera by 11 Down" .)
