How the clue works
Right, so state capital is what we're after — Hawaii's capital, as it happens. Now the wordplay: "old" gives you O, and "drama" is NOH, that Japanese theatre form — stick them together as O-NOH and then "served up" tells you to flip the whole lot, giving HONO. Tack on LULU, the opera by Berg, and you've built HONOLULU.
