* A somber Evening*

***THE PASSING OF MY OPERA HERO***
The person who made me love opera has died. Words cannot express how sad I am tonight. I feel like someone close to me has gone.When he sang, all of my troubles were gone. My dream was to go to him live. Last year when he was diagnosed, I just prayed he would get better. Although I have many Cd's of his, live was my goal. Now he is gone. So this is my tribute to a brilliant singer. (tear)

ROME - Luciano Pavarotti, whose vibrant high C’s and ebullient showmanship made him one the most beloved tenors, has died, his manager told The Associated Press. He was 71.
Pavarotti had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and underwent further treatment in August 2007. His manager, Terri Robson, told the AP in an e-mail statement that Pavarotti died at his home in Modena, Italy, at 5 a.m. local time.
“The Maestro fought a long, tough battle against the pancreatic cancer which eventually took his life. In fitting with the approach that characterised his life and work, he remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of his illness,” the statement said.
