Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'dramatic' (related to drama/theatre) combined with 'production' (a staged presentation) yields a staged performance of a drama. This is a common, cross-linguistically predictable noun phrase and a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the intended theatrical sense.
Etymology
The noun dramatic production comes from two simple ideas: dramatic meaning a play and production meaning the act of making or putting on something. Picture a team of actors, a director, and people who make the sets and costumes putting a play on stage, and you see why it means 'the act of staging and performing a play'.
