I've never been a fan of opera music by any means, but I've always appreciated & respected this man's talent. His abilities as a vocalist were mind-blowing. He also proved that with enough confidence and perseverance, just about anyone can accomplish their dreams. RIP.

Not to be insensitive, or anything, but you might want to fix the thread title to reflect that pavarotti died yesterday, not 3 months ago.

I dunno if you're kidding or not, but that's the US date format.

R.I.P. Pavarotti.

Nah, he was right. Forwhatever reason, it said 6/5 before. I just fixed it a few minutes after Jody posted.

Pavarotti was a wonderful musician.

This was saddening news, but seventy-one is a good age... And what a lifetime he had! I honor Pavarotti for his ability to tap into the mainstream music world. He gave so many people a glimpse into the operatic repertory that may never have experienced it otherwise. A very noble man.

I heard about it this morning. So sad. He was an amazing man with a fantastic voice. Now he can hang out with the other amazing talents through the course of history.

i saw pavoratti live once.. my parents were playing in the orchestra and got me in. I wish I appreciated classical music more then (this is before i came to Peabody), so that I really would've have enjoyed an experience that, well, wont happen again...

A great loss.
