City content to cancel live show, on reflection (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seville

'city' is the definition.
(Seville is an example)

'content to cancel live show on reflection' is the wordplay.
'content to' indicates a hidden word.
'on reflection' is a reversal indicator.
'ellives' is hidden in the letters of 'cancel live show'.
'ellives' in reverse letter order is 'SEVILLE'.

(Other definitions for seville that I've seen before include "city taken by Moors" , "Whence Rossini's barber" , "Spanish city; orange type" , "Capital of Andalusia" , "Fruit for marmalade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
