Pavarotti

I was so sad that Pavarotti died! I was reading about it on the Internet and they had a link to the first video I had ever seen of him! When I took Humanities my first semester of college, our teacher told us the background to this video and then played it for us. Pavarotti had been performing his signature song "Nessun Dorma" in the Opera it was written for and his voice cracked on the high note. Everyone was saying he was over and he needed to step down. So they put on this concert to force him to perform it to show that he would crack again and that he was finished, basically it was to humiliate him. You can see there are thousands of people there. This video has it cut out, but all in front are all his colleagues and the critics and everyone gunning for his position, and they were all laughing before he starts singing. So he gets up there and he looks terrified but he NAILS it! I get goose bumps every time...
