Hello Readers,

This is a sad newsletter I send to you today.

After battling pancreatic cancer for the past year, Luciano Pavarotti passed away early this morning.

We will greatly miss this icon of opera, who was among the greatest of Tenors and who had a huge hand in turning opera into an art that all can appreciate.
