Title for Kiri Te Kanawa (4)
I believe the answer is:
dame
'title for kiri te kanawa' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for dame that I've seen before include "She's played by a man in panto" , "Agatha Christie's title?" , "Broad" , "British title for a lady" , "Comic pantomime role" .)
