    Mr. M is a bit of an opera buff, one of his favourites is the Mexican tenor Ronaldo Villaizon, but Alexa can't recognise the name however we try to mis pronounce it! Any tips?

    Mr. M is the opera buff! But Rolando is rather gorgeous, and quite a character - he can sing and juggle at the same time. Fabulous tenor

    Have you paid to get Amazon music unlimited?  It does make a big difference to what you can hear.
