Luciano Pavarotti

2009-02-08T15:12:09Z

EWankdorff:

'''Luciano Pavarotti''' (Modena, Italy, October, 1935 - Modena, Italy, September 2007) Italian singer, one of ''the Three Tenors'', possibly the most popular tenor since Caruso. He was born in [[Modena]], [[Italy]] and it was on February 17, 1972, that the Pavarotti phenomenon was born at New York's Metropolitan [[Opera]].

<blockquote>

''Illuminated by his radiant personality and propelled by his zest for life Luciano Pavarotti's golden voice transcended the walls of the opera house to reach inside every human heart and mind.'' <ref> [http://www.geocities.com/laosw/Classical_Html/PavarottiBio.html Luciano Pavarotti's Biography] </ref>
</blockquote>

Pavarotti's favorite roles were Rodolfo in Puccini's ''La Bohème'', Nemorino in Donizetti's ''L'Elisir d'Amore'', and Riccardo in Verdi's ''Un Ballo Maschera''. His televised concert in London's Hyde Park, was the first concert in the history of the park featuring classical music and drew a record attendance of some 150,000 people.

<blockquote>
''"Luciano's voice was so extraordinarily beautiful and his delivery so natural and direct that his singing spoke right to the hearts of listeners whether they knew anything about opera or not,"'' Metropolitan Opera music director James Levine.

River Trent

2009-02-08T15:03:28Z

EWankdorff:

The '''River Trent''' is one of [[England]]'s largest rivers. It flows through the counties of [[Staffordshire]], [[Derbyshire]], [[Leicestershire]], [[Nottinghamshire]] and [[Lincolnshire]], before entering the Humber Estuary, on the [[North Sea]]. It is the only major river in [[Great Britain]] to flow from South to North.

It traditionally forms the division between Northern and Southern England, along with the [[River Mersey]], though [[geology|geologists]] prefer to use the [[Exe-Tees line]].

As with many river names in England, the name ''Trent'' is of British (Celtic) origin. It comes from the British ''Trisanton'', which may approximately be translated as 'trespasser' and in this sense used of a river liable to flood.

EWankdorff:

'''Bologna''', capital of the province of [[Emilia-Romagna]], is a historic city of northern [[Italy]], noted for its medieval architecture - in particular, the defensive towers erected by prominent local families - and as a centre of gastronomy (''ragu'', known outside Italy as ''bolognese sauce'' is a local speciality, as is the ''mortadella'' sausage). The University of Bologna, founded in AD 1088, is the oldest in the western world. Bologna was also noted for left-wing politics: between 1945 and 1999 the city was ruled by communists and socialists. In 1980 a terrorist bomb killed 86 people at the city's main railroad station.
