    a biker into opera? What a strange bird you are!

    I hope Pavarotti will be in the "choir" of the 144,000. After all, the scripture does call them a choir, not a goup of JW "saints".

    He will certainly be missed by me. So sad. What a gift he gave us all.

    How wonderful to be able to achieve in life doing what we enjoy most and to do it so well. To find an expression and comfort in this existence that at the same time gives happiness to others.

    What a great man. What a great loss.

    Sad to hear that. Thanks for the link. My favourite male opera singer singing one of my favourite arias.

    Beautiful, just beautiful. Thanx for posting that video link, Frozen One.

    I am in shock over the world's loss of this talented man. He drew me, as well as millions of non-opera fans into his jubilant arena in the past few decades. He turned the classical world on it's ear with his melodious and meticulous approach to the art. When I saw the news report, I teared up, for in the world in which he dwelt few have ever done so much to promote the glory of the human instrument.

    I shall not forget your romantic invitation to me, Mr Pavarotti, to enjoy the sweetness of your vocals. Rest in Peace.

    a biker into opera? What a strange bird you are!

    Well, tula. What can I say. Opera to NASCAR. Biker rallies to art galleries. A diamond's dazzle depends on its facets.

    Here's a translation of Puccini"s Nessun Dorma. No wonder it chokes one up.

    Nessun dorma, nessun dorma ...
    Tu pure, o Principessa,
    Nella tua fredda stanza,
    Guardi le stelle
    Che tremano d'amore
    E di speranza.
    No one sleeps, no one sleeps...
    Even you, o Princess,
    In your cold room,
    Watch the stars,
    That tremble with love
    And with hope.
    Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
    Il nome mio nessun saprà, no, no,
    Sulla tua bocca lo dirò
    Quando la luce splenderà,
    Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
    Che ti fa mia.
    But my secret is hidden within me;
    My name no one shall know, no, no,
    On your mouth I will speak it
    When the light shines,
    And my kiss will dissolve the silence
    That makes you mine.
    Chorus
    Il nome suo nessun saprà
    E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir.
    No one will know his name
    And we must, alas, die.
    The Prince
    Dilegua, o notte!
    Tramontate, stelle!
    All'alba vincerò!

    Vanish, o night!
    Set**, stars!
    At daybreak, I shall conquer!

    A truly great voice is silened. Hopefully, his voice will ring out in the hallways of heaven.
