Today, October 12, 2025 would have been the 90th birthday of Italian operatic tenor, Luciano Pavarotti. I enjoy listening to him and I love watching the Three Tenors. I will post quotes in memory of him and videos of his singing.

The Three Tenors were an operatic singing trio, active between 1990 and 2003, and termed a supergroup (a title normally reserved for rock and pop groups) consisting of Italian Luciano Pavarotti and Spaniards Plácido Domingo and José Carreras. The trio began their collaboration with a performance at the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy, on 7 July 1990, the eve of the 1990 FIFA World Cup final, watched by a global television audience of around 800 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Tenors [PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.amazon.com.au/COLLECTION-THREE-TENORS/dp/B003XNKFEC] |
