Concert hall’s not performing lyrical work (3)
I believe the answer is:
ode
'lyrical work' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'concert hall's not performing' is the wordplay.
'concert hall' becomes 'odeon' (I've seen this before).
'not' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'performing' becomes 'on' (as in being on stage).
'odeon' with 'on' taken away is 'ODE'.
(Other definitions for ode that I've seen before include "- - to a 12 Urn" , "poetry" , "Poem expressing noble feelings" , "(Railway)system" , "Poem in praise of doe" .)
