Glimpses tenor in embrace of lovelorn soprano (9)

I believe the answer is:

sightings

'glimpses' is the definition.

'tenor in embrace of lovelorn soprano' is the wordplay.
'tenor' becomes 't'.
'in embrace of' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'lovelorn' becomes 'sighing'.
'soprano' becomes 's' (musical abbreviation).
't' going into 'sighing' is 'sighting'.
'sighting'+'s'='SIGHTINGS'
