Wow. I don’t follow opera but it seems like only yesterday his name was all over the place. Life goes by fast. God be with him and his family.

Unfortunate, I'm no connoisseur of opera, but I enjoyed listening to him. His Christmas in Montreal show (usually on PBS in December) is a favorite of mine.

He sang extremely difficult opera as effortlessly as I sing in the shower.

He made it sound a lot better, though.

He showed the difference between an opera star, and an opera superstar. The superstar can sustain the high C. He brought wide appreciation for opera because of the love of his art. This is sad news indeed.

I told someone in July that I expected Pavarotti to die by the end of the summer.
I think he is the greatest tenor I will ever live to hear.
What a gift he had and shared with us.

The few reports I heard sound very grim.

I hope I’m unconscious when I die.
Or at least more unconscious than usual.

So sad to hear this about Pavarotti along with the passing of D. James Kennedy earlier today.

Oh, how I have enjoyed Luciano Pavarotti’s wonderful voice and his personality over the years. I really need to go dig out my La Boheme recording with Pavarotti and Mirella Freni.

Very sad.

I saw him perform with Joan Sutherland in Houston in the late 80s. He was amazing.

Prayers up.

Pancreatic cancer - I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. A particularly painful and horrible way to go as evidenced 17 years ago with my dad. May God comfort and be merciful to Pavarotti as only He can.

I had heard sometime back that Pavarotti was terribly ill. This latest news doesn’t sound good.

I didn’t like opera either — still don’t for the most part — but I do have the Three Tenors on audio and video. Some critic once dubbed it, “one tenor and two egos” — Pavarotti and Domingo being the two egos. I didn’t care — even if their voices were not as they once were, they were still magnificent.

Prayers for him and his family and for all who love him.

Sad news about one of the “other two guys” of the Three Tenors.
