Mr. Pavarotti was truly THE Good Will Ambassador of opera. He reached heights that will never again be duplicated, such as hitting nine (9) high C's during a single performance, yet he never forgot his roots! Always remaing "the son of a baker", he sang with everyone from James Brown to The Spice Girls. Bringing opera to the common man, Luciano Pavarotti changed the old belief that opera was only for the wealthy. He sang benefits for many, many causes throughout the globe, loving people from all walks of life. Not only was his throat kissed by God, so was his heart! I miss you so much, but you will remain alive through your many CDs and DVDs! Thank you so much Luciano for all the joy you have brought into my life! Addio, amore! Please hit a high C in heaven tonight! Caterina Luciano Pavarotti - words cannot express the loss felt around the world! Mr. Pavarotti was truly THE Good Will Ambassador of opera.

Luciano was simply the Greatest Italian Tenor EVER! While there are many others who could challenge for this title, only he was truly worthy of it. The sound, artistry, control, line, personality, style,and diction were clearly unmatched by his Italian colleagues- (or any others for that matter) past and present. Sadly for me, I took him for granted in that age when great singers were a dime a dozen, but as the years progressed and great voices became rarer and rarer and, his Art greater and greater, to finally the present age, which is truly barren, I grew to worship him. He was a Singer: the others were vocalists, merely. To quote Leontyne Price, "a tenor with a capital "T". Most important, he was a great Artist...the one and only. Addio Maestro! Sincerest condolences to the Pavarotti Family.

I was able to see him in his last performance of Tosca. I knew when he stepped behind that gold curtain, it would be the last time I would ever see him, despite promises of future farewell concerts. I think my heart broke. Farewell Maestro, God bless you and keep you. Thank you for everything. I was blessed by God to see this great man many, many times at the Met.

Che dire............la sua scomparsa è una grande perdita. La sua voce, potente e chiara, ha permesso a tanti di conoscere il contenuto delle Opere e la bellezza della Lirica. Il Dio ha richiamato a sè il suo discepolo, esecutore di musica divina, affinchè allietasse i suoi momenti.

Pavarotti's glorious voice is instantly recognizable for no other tenor projects the yearning, hope, enthusiasm, and impetuousness of youth, like Luciano does. He may be singing with the angels now, but his voice will be among us mortals for eternity.

For the second part of the 2oth century and the first part of the 21st, for millions of people around the world Pavarotti is Opera. Thank you Maestro for all these wonderful moments. May Heaven be filled with your magic voice and your warm and exhuberant smile.

I'm sorry Luciano Pavarotti's young daughter and wife couldn't have more time with him. I had the great priviledge of seeing Pavarotti in personal several times. Two of the events including the luncheon given for him by The Opera Guild (the ballroom was packed) and his finally performance at the Met in Tosca. Thank goodness I have many many recordings of Pavarotti. He deserved all of the attention that was given to him after he passed. Glad the media was generous in their coverage.

His performances with Joan Sutherland were outstanding as was his La Boheme with Scotto in the 70s. I will always treasure the clarion sweetness of that voice and the warm coloring he brought with it. A remarkable presence on stage and truly one of if not the greatest tenor of our times.
