Lyric about concert hall (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odeon

'concert hall' is the definition.
(I know that odeon is a type of concert hall)

'lyric about' is the wordplay.
'lyric' becomes 'ode' (ode is a kind of lyric).
'about' becomes 'on' (as in a book 'on' a certain topic).
'ode'+'on'='ODEON'

(Other definitions for odeon that I've seen before include "dramas here" , "Hal" , "Ancient Greek concert hall" , "Do one (anag)" , "Greek music hall" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
