Time to say goodbye.

Sorry for the cliche, even though he never sang that song.

A sad day.

[Lemur]

Finally, his lifetime ban from Chicago's Lyric Opera is over. Sad day, though.

One of the better lives to have lead...

[Husar]

Apparently he could sing, to be honest I've never been a big fan of classic music but I know the song in prole's link I think.

[CrossLOPER]

I've slowly been gaining more of a taste for opera and classical music. This man has moved me closer to it.

R.I.P.

[Hepcat]

Very great man, and a great singer too.
May he rest in peace.
:shame:

A true inspiration to all musicians, whose influence will greatly outlast his life. May he rest with the knowledge that he has changed the world for the better.

I am a big fan of classical music and I am sad such a great voice has been silenced.
As a tenor I tend to look for role models or great singers that you can have as idols.
Pavarotti is not the one I admire the most but he was high up on the top 10 list.

Nessun Dorma is a great aria and was Pavarotti’s signature song.
I had the pleasure to play in the Opera where this aria is sung (Turandot – I was the palace guard on the right side of the great staircase where this aria is performed [the things we do to impress girls] :beam: ) and it is the one song the audience is waiting for.

Pavarotti did this aria well. **RIP**

A great man has perished. Requiescat in pace. May he rest in peace.

What I liked about him besides singing: he had humour & made a lot of people become fans of classical music.... RIP & sing a bit with Caruso wherever you guys are.....
