Rise to embrace bishop with a melodramatic show (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

soap opera

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'melodramatic show' is the definition.
'soap opera' can be an answer for 'show' (soap opera is a kind of show). I am not sure about the 'melodramatic' bit.

'rise to embrace bishop with a' is the wordplay.
'rise' becomes 'soar' (soar is a kind of rise).
'to embrace' indicates putting letters inside.
'bishop' becomes 'pope' (the Pope is the Bishop of Rome).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'soar' going around 'pope' is 'soapoper'.
'soapoper'+'a'='SOAP-OPERA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for soap opera that I've seen before include "TV or radio series of everyday events" , "Television serial" , "Melodramatic TV serial" , ""Coronation Street", for example" , "A dramatic broadcast" .)
