International performance not broken up (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intact

'not broken up' is the definition.

'international performance' is the wordplay.
'international' becomes 'int'.
'performance' becomes 'act' (act is a kind of performance).
'int'+'act'='INTACT'

(Other definitions for intact that I've seen before include "Undiminished" , "Entire and complete" , "Not broken or damaged" , "without flaw?" , "Undamaged, unimpaired" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
