He took the opera from the elite to the public and we will be always appreciated for that

[@JisforJenius]

And yet less than a hundred years ago, opera was very much a performance for the everyday public, not only the elite. My Italian parents were poor as church mice, but would go to the opera while courting. Probably not in the best opera houses and probably not the best seats, but it was far from entertainment for just the "elite". Maybe that was just the Italy of the 50's. But my father was as blue collar as you could get and he had a massive collection of Opera records. Different era, different culture, i suppose. But yes, Pavarotti and his divine voice transcends time and music.

During those last notes you can clearly see, how the power of the climax just washes over him. It really is true what great artists say, art doesn't come from them, they're merely channeling it from elsewhere. Incredible to witness.
