Nessun dorma...

"MODENA, Italy (Reuters) - Italian opera star Luciano Pavarotti, hailed by many as the greatest tenor of his generation, was in a serious condition on Wednesday after a battle with cancer, media reported.
The 71-year-old rotund, black-bearded singer, who helped bring opera to the masses and performed to vast stadium audiences round the world, had briefly lost consciousness, the ANSA news agency said.
A TV station in Pavarotti's home city of Modena said he was unconscious and suffering from kidney failure, and that family and friends had gathered at his villa to be near the singer, who underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer in July 2006.
"(Pavarotti) it has been learned is at home in very serious condition," said the AGI news agency."
