Date after work for Aida? (5)
I believe the answer is:
opera
'for aida?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'date after work' is the wordplay.
'date' becomes 'era' (I've seen this before).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'work' becomes 'op' (common abbreviation for 'opus').
'era' put after 'op' is 'OPERA'.
(Other definitions for opera that I've seen before include "Met show?" , "Drama with singing" , "could be soap" , "Eg, Rigoletto" , "Billy Budd, for instance" .)
