COMMENTS: Pop Star
Operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti died in Italy of pancreatic cancer, aged 71. In his obituary, ABC's Bill Blakemore (subscription required) called him "like opera itself, bigger than life" with a "soaring voice." Blakemore credited Pavarotti with attracting whole new global audiences to his art: "When he asked Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras to join him in The Three Tenors it made opera part of pop culture."
