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.

He was simply superb. I'm from Modena too, and I've met him many many times around the city and in some very typical, old fashioned and some almost unknown restaurants we both used to love. When I was meeting him I used to salute him with just one word: "Maestro..." and he always smiled and saluted back, like a true lord. He was one of the kindest man I've ever knew, always had a nice word for everyone. I don't know why I'm writing this right now, after all these years... nostalgia, I guess.

Thank you for sharing your story!

[@nicoladc89]

To be honest he wasn't superb in this perfomance, the real opera is different, Pavarotti singing the real opera is different. Turandot never been the cup of tea of Pavarotti, he didn't have the proper voice to sing it. Franco Corelli was superb. This is a performance for a pop audience, made without proper training etc.., an exibition for those people who love Bocelli and Il Volo, I bet they're shocked by a real opera tenor like Pavarotti.

[@retinaofthemindseye]

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.
