Lyric -- working theatre? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odeon

'theatre?' is the definition.
(in ancient Greece)

'lyric working' is the wordplay.
'lyric' becomes 'ode' (ode is a kind of lyric).
'working' becomes 'on'.
'ode'+'on'='ODEON'

(Other definitions for odeon that I've seen before include "classical theatre" , "Ancient theatre - modern cinema" , "Theatre of ancient Rome - picture house" , "Greek venue" , "Do one (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
