This contest is fueled by the following news:
Luciano Pavarotti, the former insurance salesman, said that his performance in the opera "Tosca" was his finale. After more than 40 years of performing, he is not regarded as perhaps the most beloved classical singer of all time. The production was staged at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Tickets to all 4,000 seats were sold. Indeed, it was on the stage of the Metropolitan that Pavarotti became known as the tenor with the magnificent smile -- and a belly to match. In an interview, Pavarotti confirmed what he said last year: This marks his last opera performance.
Now Mr Pavarotti can obtain his life-long dream of making children happy.
(for the non-Americans, this is based on Mr Roger's Neighborhood a children's program on American public television that was very popular for many years until the death of Fred Rogers.)
