Pavarotti Dies Aged 71
The Italian
opera star Luciano Pavarotti died at his home in Modena, aged 71. The tenor, who
helped take opera to a new mass audience, had been diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer last year and had further treatment in August 2007. His
manager, Terri Robson, said Pavarotti died at 5 am on September 6. 'The maestro
fought a long, tough battle against the pancreatic cancer which eventually took
his life. Characteristically, he remained positive until finally
succumbing to the last stages of his illness,' Mr. Robson said in a statement.
Pavarotti was considered by some critics to have been the
greatest tenor since Enrico Caruso. He made his professional debut in 1961, as
Rodolfo in Puccini's La Bohemeat the opera house in Reggio Emilia. His most
celebrated performance came at New York's Metropolitan Opera House, where he hit
nine high Cs in Donizetti's La fille du regiment. But
Pavarotti reached a new global audience during the 1990 football World Cup, when
his interpretation of the Puccini aria {{U}}Nessun Dorma{{/U}} was chosen as the
tournament's theme tune. It became an international hit. Later, Essential
Pavarotti became the first classical album to reach number 1 in the UK charts.
The 1990 World Cup was also the venue of the first of the
hugely popular Three Tenor concerts that Pavarotti performed with Placido
Domingo and Jose Carreras. His most high-profile performance in Britain was the
Pavarotti in the Park concert, in a rain-sodden Hyde Park in 1991. His friend,
Diana, Princess of Wales, was in the front row. Like many opera
stars, Pavarotti also had a reputation for being demanding. At a Royal Variety
performance in Edinburgh, he reportedly demanded a fully fitted kitchen to be
built into his hotel suite. He also frequently cancelled concerts at short
notice. But he also raised millions of pounds for good causes around the world
in a number of charity performances. Domingo led the
tributes to his fellow tenor. 'I always admired the God-given glory of his
voice,' he said. 'I also loved his wonderful sense of humor and on several
occasions during our concerts with Jose Carreras we had trouble remembering that
we were giving a concert before a paying audience, because we had so much fun
between ourselves.' The British tenor Russell Watson told GMTV
that Pavarotti was 'without question' the man who brought opera to the people.
"The World Cup was the Three Tenors led by Pavarotti, with a very entertaining
version of Nessun Dorma. In fact, it's now called 'Pavarotti's Nesson
Dorma' ," Watson said. 'His voice was so distinctive you only needed to listen
to a couple of bars and you knew it was him, he had incredible power and
control.' QUESTIONS:

填空题Man has always been fascinate by the mysterious nature of dreams.
1
In the past, in many cultures it was believed that dreams had great
2
significance. The Bible tells the story, of Joseph, the eleven son of Jacob,
3
who remembered and had the "ability to interpret not his own dreams
4
but also those of others. The influent psychologist Freud believed
5
that dreams were mechanism of the unconscious, a view that is hotly
6
debate today. The scientific community has found that sleep has different
7
phases, and that it is in the phase calling Rapid Eye Movement (REM)
8
sleep that we dream. People woken the REM phase have difficulty
9
complete even the simplest tasks. This suggests that dreams make an
10
important contribution to our psychological health.
