Sunday Morning Opera: Pavarotti

Share

The Great Luciano would have been 83 on October 12.  We have another operatic birthday on October 16.  I can’t do it.  Just thinking about it, and what we’ve lost makes me cry.  Maybe next year we can celebrate a magnificent life and our very favorite, but I can’t do it this year. It has been almost a year.  I still can’t handle the sound of his voice.  It will be a year, November 22.  I know, it’s ironic.

I saw Pavarotti quite a few times at the Met. He was incredible.

I suspect I’m not alone in admitting I think he was best in L’elisir d’amore. I want to smile, every time I think of his performance.
