jewgaffer Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) Shirley just come in and gave me the sad news that the great tenor Luciano Pavarotti has passed away at the age of 71, only a matter of a couple of hours ago from pancreatic cancer, after eveything that could be done, was done to try and save him. Luciano Pavarottii will be sadly missed by all. Nessun Dorma Luciano Pavorotti. jewgaffer. Nessun Dorma means " None Shall Sleep" and is a well known aria from the opera Turandot, written by Puccini.

mrmoshe Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) The big fella certainly had a magnificent voice. He will be missed by many. Cheers, Pete. "I am a very superstitious person. " ~Luciano Pavarotti When he performs, Pavarotti wants nails strewn all over the stage, and won't tolerate the color purple. Why the purple? In former times, priests wore purple, and artists couldn't perform during the season of Lent. So, purple, to an Italian, to an artist, means no eating, no money, no work, no women.
