Luciano Pavarotti, 1935-2007

My evening in California ends on a sad note; perhaps yours, too. Opera lovers the world over are learning the news of the death of Pavarotti.

Here is how I will remember him. In his prime, and in his element. He sings “Una Furtiva Lagrima” from the Donizetti opera “L’Elisir d’Amore” recorded at the Metropolitan Opera in 1981.

Sleep well, sweet man.
