Wrong to repeat a G&S work? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

operetta

'a gs work?' is the definition.
(Gilbert and Sullivan wrote operettas)

'wrong to repeat' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'repeat'='torepeat'
'torepeat' is an anagram of 'OPERETTA'.

(Other definitions for operetta that I've seen before include "Light entertainment" , "Theatre piece" , "Eg, Orpheus in the Underworld" , "Sung entertainment" , "La belle Helene, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
