RIP: Luciano Pavarotti
Pavarotti, whose vibrant high C's and ebullient showmanship made him the most beloved and celebrated tenor since Caruso and one of the few opera singers to win crossover fame as a popular superstar died today, September 6th 2007. He was 71. He was known as the "King of the High C's" for the ease with which he tossed off difficult top notes. In fact, it was his ability to hit nine glorious high C's in quick succession that first turned him into an international superstar singing Tonio's aria "Ah! Mes amis," in Donizetti's "La Fille du Regiment" at the Met in 1972.
While many other people will write much longer pieces about him, I will write little because we have Pavarotti's voice to continue to influence and entertain generations to come. I haven't heard all , but I’ve heard enough to know that the world will be a lesser place without the amazing voice of Luciano Pavarotti. Rest in peace...Maestro!

This is indeed sad news. He had such a fantastic voice. Definitely a loss for the world.

I am very sad and the same time very happy for Maestro Luciano Pavarotti. Im sad because a voice and a generous personality, the world is going to miss a lot. He devoted to music and touch hearts giving the gift of joy. But I am happy too, because we got the chance to met him, and because he is an example of how to come into the life and do what he came to do, and did it succesfully and grately. Rest in peace Maestro. From Puebla Mexico
