In my youth, I didn’t appreciate opera till I got over 40 years of age. In 1994, I really became aware of the famous “3 Tenors”, Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti when they sang “Nessun Dorma from Turandot”. Unfortunately in 2007, Luciano Pavarotti passed away on September 6th. We will all miss this great Italian opera singer.

Then when Andrea Bocelli sang with Celine Dion in a duet of “The Prayer” at the Grammys in 1999, I fell in love with his singing ability of Opera. Then I heard Andrea Bocelli sing the same song with Josh Groban. I have always loved the music of Celine Dion and Josh Groban. By Andrea adding them to his song, was an extra bonus to my listening ears.

A few years ago, I started watching Britain’s Got Talent show. When I heard Paul Potts for the first time singing “Nessun Dorma from Turandot”, I was completely memorized. He would make the “3 Tenors” so proud, especially Luciano Pavarotti.
