Crossword Genius

Singer seen in national tour (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alto

'singer' is the definition.
(alto is a kind of singer)

'in national tour' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ALTO' is hidden in the letters of 'national tour'.

'seen' is the link.

(Other definitions for alto that I've seen before include "The highest adult male singing voice" , "Singing voice between tenor and soprano" , "Second of four parts (in singing)" , "High male singing voice" , "The highest adult male singing-voice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
