The Pope sent a telegram of condolence, which was read out at the start of the service. He said Pavarotti had "honored the divine gift of music through his extraordinary interpretative talent". Bravo...Luciano

Lyrics: O Soave Fanciulla

Oh lovely girl, oh sweet face
bathed in the soft moonlight.
I see you in a dream
I'd dream forever!

Ah! Love, you rule alone!

Already I taste in spirit
the heights of tenderness!
Love trembles at our kiss!

How sweet his praises
enter my heart...
Love, you alone rule!
He kisses Mimi.
No, please!
She frees herself.
You're mine!

Your friends are waiting.

You send me away already?

I dare not say what I'd like...

Tell me.

If I came with you...?

What? Mimi!
It would be so fine to stay here.
Outside it's cold.

I'd be near you!

And when we come back?
Coquettishly
Who knows?
Gallantly
Give me your arm, my dear...

Your servant, sir...

Tell me you love me!

I love you.
They exit, arm in arm
Love! Love! Love!

Podcast Summary

Rest in Peace, Luciano,

He entertained us with his voice, and his wonderful smile. I will remember him, as will so many others.

Pavarotti enjoyed 40 years on the world stage and became one of the world's biggest-selling artists.

His music reached far beyond the usual opera audience, particularly his signature tune Nessun Dorma, from Puccini's Turandot, which became associated with the 1990 football World Cup.(see links below)

His performances with Domingo and Jose Carerras at this time - in the Three Tenors concerts - were seen around the world
