Luciano Pavarotti died today at the age of 71.

This seems a little surreal to me. Maybe it's because I grew up listening to Pavarotti, because Dad would pull out the record every chance he got (usually when we had spaghetti), because I still remember going to hear him in concert with Grandma and Dad. I'm not a fan of opera, but I can honestly say that his music is inextricably tied in with my childhood memories.

And now he's gone.

Just doesn't seem real somehow.

I know exactly what you mean. I saw it on the news this morning while on the elliptical. I almost fell off the thing. It really upset me. I grew up loving Pavarotti and Caruso. Their music and their personalities.

Bah.

It's a sad day to hear this news. I listened to Pavarotti a few times in my life and the man did have an incredible talent and voice.

My biggest memory of him though comes from a movie my mother watched several years ago: "Yes, Georgio!", which was about a famous opera singer who loses his voice during a world tour and, in order to treat it sees a female throat specialist. The two end up falling in love, and the story moves on from there... had some funny and romantic scenes, including a sequence where Georgio takes his lady back to his private estate, and their loveplay makes life a bit hectic for his Oriental housekeepers; Kwan and his wife. ^_^

He was a grand master and his voice will sorely be missed.
