Luciano Paparazzi

Pavarotti’s death is tragic for the world of opera. A world I have little interest or understanding of. Still, everyone has heard of the great Pavarotti and even I have an anecdote:

Ten years ago this week I was watching the coverage of the car crash that killed Princess Diana with my then girlfriend. The reports kept mentioning that Di’s car was fleeing the ever-aggressive paparazzi. Not-so-bright girlfriend wanted to know why an opera singer would be chasing the princess.
