Abstract:
Luciano Pavarotti, one of the most acclaimed and popular Italian tenors of all time, died ten years ago in his hometown of Modena. The whole world mourned the loss one of its most cherished celebrities. Pavarotti's unmistakable voice with its open Italianate sound and ringing upper register was ideal for the operas of Verdi, Bellini, Donizetti and Puccini, but also the popular Italian and other repertoire that he and his admirers reveled in. Combined with his generous, charismatic personality, his thrilling vocalism made him into an icon, as famous as the rock stars he loved to perform with.
