PEOPLE, Page 81Hitting a Low Note
By GINIA BELLAFANTE
LUCIANO PAVAROTTI ought to be glad that most of today's
operagoers never bother to pack a few ripe tomatoes in their
evening bags. The crowd attending La Scala's opening night in
Milan last week just might have enjoyed hurling a few messy
vegetables in the tenor's direction. While he was performing the
title role of Don Carlo, Pavarotti's voice cracked, an error
that audience members -- some of whom had paid $1,100 for a seat
-- greeted with meanspirited whistles and catcalls. "How do I
feel?" Pavarotti said later. "Like a woman who has given birth
to a baby feetfirst."
