Poem being performed for theatre (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odeon

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

'poem being performed' is the wordplay.
'poem' becomes 'ode' (ode is a kind of poem).
'being performed' becomes 'on' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ode'+'on'='ODEON'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for odeon that I've seen before include "classical theatre" , "Place for cinema or musical and dramatic performances" , "Performances here no longer" , "music performed here" , "Ancient Greek building for music" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
