I am not a huge fan of opera, but I did like Pavarotti. Everyone says he was the best and I can believe it. I saw him when he did that free concert in Hyde Park and he was amazing – making us almost forget that it was pissing down with rain, which was quite an achievement.
So let's not spoil the memory by over-exposing Nessun Dorma. Every radio and TV news bulletin was playing little clips of it until I was fervently wishing just one of them would play a bit of Donna e Mobile or O Sole Mio for a bit of variety.
My own favourite is the "ha ha" bit from Pagliacci but that would have too much to hope for…
