The tenor, who helped take opera to a new mass audience, had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year and had further treatment in August 2007. His manager, Terri Robson, said Pavarotti died at 5 am on September 6. ‘The maestro fought a long, tough battle against the pancreatic cancer which eventually took his life. Characteristically, he remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of his illness,’ Mr. Robson said in a statement. Pavarotti was considered by some critics to have been the greatest tenor since Enrico Caruso. He made his professional debut in 1961, as Rodolfo in Puccini’s La Bohemeat the opera house in Reggio Emilia. His most celebrated performance came at New York’s Metropolitan Opera House, where he hit nine high Cs in Donizetti’s La fille du regiment. But Pavarotti reached a new global audience during the 1990 football World Cup, when his interpretation of the Puccini aria Nessun Dormawas chosen as the tournament’s theme tune. It became an international hit. Later, Essential Pavarotti became the first classical album to reach number 1 in the UK charts. The 1990 World Cup was also the venue of the first of the hugely popular Three Tenor concerts that Pavarotti performed with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras. His most high-profile performance in Britain was the Pavarotti in the Park concert, in a rain-sodden Hyde Park in 1991. His friend, Diana, Princess of Wales, was in the front row. Like many opera stars, Pavarotti also had a reputation for being demanding. At a Royal Variety performance in Edinburgh, he reportedly demanded a fully fitted kitchen to be built into his hotel suite. He also frequently cancelled concerts at short notice. But he also raised millions of pounds for good causes around the world in a number of charity performances. Domingo led the tributes to his fellow tenor. ‘I always admired the God-given glory of his voice,’ he said. ‘I also loved his wonderful sense of humor and on several occasions during our concerts with Jose Carreras we had trouble remembering that we were giving a concert before a paying audience, because we had so much fun between ourselves.’ The British tenor Russell Watson told GMTV that Pavarotti was ‘without question’ the man who brought opera to the people. “The World Cup was the Three Tenors led by Pavarotti, with a very entertaining version of Nessun Dorma. In fact, it’s now called ‘Pavarotti’s Nesson Dorma’,” Watson said. ‘His voice was so distinctive you only needed to listen to a couple of bars and you knew it was him, he had incredible power and control.’ QUESTIONS: 1．What was the cause of Pavarotti’s death? 2．Where did Pavarotti first perform professionally? 3．Who were The Three Tenors? 4．How did Pavarotti raise money for good causes? 5．Which piece of operatic music do people usually associate with Pavarotti?
