I am quite sure there are many saddened by this recent news: famed opera tenor Luciano Pavarotti has passed away at the age of 71. Whether you followed his celebrity escapades over the decades (or not), he was nevertheless revered throughout the world for his abilities.
If you read one article on this, make it [National Review Managing Editor] Jay Nordlinger's piece for a bit of context regarding the importance of the singer in our cultural history. It was written when Luciano retired several years back, but it fits quite well today.
If you must read more, then I also submit the following: Time's expose and Newsweek's article (with extra audio).
