This has to be the funniest story since...the Stones announced their new tour.

Hey man, did anyone see a tall animated rabbit with a brooklyn accent running around the dressing room area with a spray bottle full of oil of alum? I hear he does a good impression of Leopold the Conductor as well. FIGARO, Figaro Figaro Figaro...squeek!

"Met spokesman Francois Giuliani declined to comment on Pavarotti's health, but confirmed that all of 3,000 tickets, priced between $75 and $1,875, had been sold for tomorrow's concert.

The show would go on without Pavarotti, and the Met does not normally refund tickets if a performer fails to appear."

I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that the Met just may re-think their refund policy in this case.:)
