Morphology
The meaning 'the most important platform where main events happen' is directly derivable from combining 'main' (primary, chief) with 'stage' (performance platform). This straightforward adjective+noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows normal compositional semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand it.
Etymology
The phrase main stage comes from live shows: the main or biggest stage is where the main acts play, so it means 'the most important area' at an event.
