A Master has passed… RIP Luciano Pavarotti….

I really encourage everyone who sees this to watch this video. Regardless of what your perceptions of Pavarotti (or opera) are, the goosebumps will come, trust me.

Charlie Rose interviews Pavarotti in October 2003:

If a human being can watch and listen to Luciano Pavarotti sing Puccini’s “Nessun Dorma” and not be affected and moved, I’d like to know. I don’t think it’s possible.

If one – count one – person expresses interest, I’ll post an entire performance of La Boheme at NYC’s Metropolitan Opera House from earlier this year. Something about ol’ Puccini gets to me. Who’s up for it?
