You know, I can't quite believe it. The King of the High C's - gone.
 He was the first opera singer I saw (and a concert at the Bowl with him dates the last time I was at the Bowl). Everything about him was bigger than life, the man, the ego and that gift from the heavens which won him fame, that incredible voice. He was mercurial, kind and generous with his time, his talent and his many charities. He brought music to the far corners of the earth and all was done with such joie de vivre. I feel really blessed to have heard him here in SF, at the Met and in various concert venues, even when he sang dreck (like the 3 tenors thing) he was still magical. RIP Luciano, addio, senza rancor.

very sad. He was a legend and will be missed.
No so much by me, as I hate opera.

I hear Enrico Caruso hasn't been feeling too good either.

Caruso's condition has been reported as grave.

If Enrico Caruso were alive today, he would be wondering, "Why is it so dark in here?"

Not if he were in his original glass sarcophogus, Caruso was on full view for several years (and apparently embalmed very well and looked good, as good as can be for a dead guy) Similarly, when Douglas Fairbanks Jr was interred at Hollywood Forever, he's in the Fairbanks crypt with his Dad, Doug Sr. A friend of mine worked for HF then and was there when they opened the crypt/sarcaphogus and the examined Doug Sr. and he looks as if they just planted him (he died in 1939, btw). Yet another piece of weird and useless trivia lurking in my brain. Now, back to Pavarotti, an excellent assesment of him can be found here
