Luciano Pavarotti, the Italian tenor who helped bring opera to the masses, died today in his home in Modena after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 71.Although I’ve never been known to be a fan of the genre, it saddened me to find out watching Today that he was gone.
I’ve been aware of Pavarotti all my life, especially since he partnered with Plácido Domingo and José Carreras to form The Three Tenors in 1990.
He had a great presence and a greater voice. He put on one heck of a show, and now he rests.
