caruso

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

'tenor' is the definition.
(singer Enrico Caruso)

'beloved italian touring america' is the wordplay.
'beloved italian' becomes 'caro' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'touring' means one lot of letters goes inside another (touring can mean going round).
'america' becomes 'US' (United States).
'caro' placed around 'us' is 'CARUSO'.
