Pavorotti, FINALLY!!!
 
Well, I just had to share the good news, a friend of my obtained tickets to see one of my favorite Opera singers, Pavorotti! I am a big fan of his and cannot believe my good fortune. There has been so much talk of his retirement, I was afraid I would never see him! <BR>I have had the pleasure of seeing many of the great Opera stars in the last 5 years, this ranks up there with the best! <BR>BIG :) ! Thanks for letting me share! <BR>Gigi

Is he going to sing, or is he on display somewhere? <BR> <BR>Sorry, Gigi, I had to get that out. Now I can say 'congratulations, way cool, e x c e l l e n t'

Thank you, Mdme. Elvira! It is fun to share this and hear the appreciation others have for this great tenor! <BR>Can't stop :)ing! <BR>Gigi <BR>

I assume you will be at his Paris concert on 16 October. I'll see you there. If anyone else wants to go, tickets can be obtained from ticketnet.fr <BR>Category 1 tickets (the most expensive) go for only $142.

I was so excited to see him last year. I loved the show but he did not do Nessun Dorma or any other piece that required a sustained high C.

Congrats from another Pavorotti fan. I have kept a CD at work for some time now with the big guy singing Italian arias, and I pull it out every now and then. I envy you.

Thanks for sharing in my fun! <BR>Dan, we share so many interests...travel, photography, Opera, if only you were single and a DUKE fan, you would be perfect! LOL <BR>Elvira, Tammy...even if he were just on display or couldn't hit the high C, I would still love it all! <BR>Cheers! <BR>Gigi

Have a wonderful time! I had the pleasure of seeing him perform last fall in Louisville. It was just wonderful!

Gigi, I am listening to Pavorotti as I type. Why not combine the two - I could be the single Duke fan (well, admittedly there are probably ten or twelve). My wife might be willing to make a deal with you, but to make a deal with the [Blue] Devils - never!!!!!!!!!
