Preliminary entertainment (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

curtain raiser

(Other definitions for curtain raiser that I've seen before include "warm-up" , "Preliminary event" , "piece before the main action" , "One taking up the cloth" , "Introductory show" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
