@7 - Not a smart ass here just Opera Queen informative.

Bravo! is the Italian word for expressing appreciation to a male performer. (what you shout to Pavarotti)

Brava! is the Italian word for expressing appreciation to a female performer. (what you shout to Sills)

Bravi! is the Italian word for expressing appreciation to two or more performers. (what you shout to Sutherland and Domingo)

Brave is a Scout that can face danger although he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at him or threaten him. (Hmmm - maybe that would make a good 'mo motto - and Lehman knows we need one)

We're lucky to have lived in Pavarotti's time, to have been able to hear that voice. Was there ever a greater tenor?

When Caruso died, there was a pall cast over the world of opera and its audience not unlike the one that is cast today. Recording technology was unable to capture much of Caruso's brilliance in his time. Fortunately, we have Pavarotti's recordings so that future generations will be able to hear examples of this exquisite human gift.

Adieu, Maestro.

Sad. He was truly great. What's up with Mr. Poe dissing Pavarati??!?
