People ignorant of all opera are rarely ignorant of Pavarotti… how could they be? Nearly everyone from my grandparents generation has a story to tell that starts with, “I saw Pavarotti at….”

By the time I became an opera addict, Pavarotti was finished performing. But I will never forget the first time I heard him on a DVD of La Boheme.

Be sure the catch the NY times article.

Always on top of things, La Cieca has wonderful podcast of Pavarotti already out.

And, as always, Sieglinde has an entertaining story for all of us ultra-critical bloggers.
