Token of love in entirety, playing Wagner operas (8,4)

I believe the answer is:

eternity ring

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

'playing wagner operas' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'token of love in entirety' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'token' could be 'ring' (I have seen 'token of love' mean 'ring' so perhaps 'token' could also mean 'ring') and 'ring' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'entirety' is 'eternity' which is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eternity ring that I've seen before include "Symbol of lasting affection" , "Token of everlasting affection" , "piece of jewellery" .)
