ROME (AP)—Luciano Pavarotti’s health has deteriorated and the tenor was in very serious condition, suffering kidney problems and losing consciousness, a local Italian TV station reported Wednesday.
Modena hospital spokesman Alberto Greco confirmed Pavarotti was at home, but said he had no further information.
Pavarotti’s manager, Terri Robson, did not deny the reports; an associate answering Robson’s phone said she had no comment.
For millions more, his charismatic performances of standards such as Nessun dorma, from Puccini’s Turandot, came to represent what opera is all about.
Other tenors - Domingo included - might have drawn more praise from critics for their artistic range and insights, but none could equal the combination of natural talent and personal charm that so endeared him to audiences.
