Crossword Genius

Trio belt out part of opera (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

libretto

'opera' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'trio belt out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'trio'+'belt'='triobelt'
'triobelt' anagrammed gives 'LIBRETTO'.

'part of' is the link.

(Other definitions for libretto that I've seen before include "Book of words of a musical" , "Opera's words" , "textbook" , "Book of words of an opera" , "Text set to music in opera" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
