    What the Critics Say


    Mr. Pavarotti has had one of the indisputably
    greatest voices in opera history and enjoyed a
    sensational career. (Tommasini)
    Pavarotti was a dominating physical presence
    on stage, and of course he had a dominating
    voice. (Ulaby)
    Pavarotti continues to be a marketing
    agency`s dream, a man with a special voice
    and an engaging personality as big as his
    frame (somewhat reduced recently -- the
    frame, not the personality). (Smith)

    What the Critics Say


    There were occasions when he did
    not arrive for rehearsals and times
    when he cancelled performances,
    and for some years the
    managements of the Royal Opera
    House Covent Garden and the Lyric
    Opera of Chicago would not engage
    him because of his
    cancellations.(Tolansky)
