卢奇亚诺·帕瓦罗蒂(Luciano Pavarotti,1935年10月12日-2007年9月6日),是20世纪后半叶的世界三大男高音之一,别号“高音C之王”。(http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/卢奇亚诺·帕瓦罗蒂)
1990年,帕瓦罗蒂演唱普契尼《杜兰朵公主(图兰多)》中的《公主彻夜未眠(今夜无人入睡)》咏叹调成为1990年世界杯的主题曲,令帕瓦罗蒂更为全球所知。

In his book THE KING AND I, Herbert Breslin tells a story about Joan Sutherland, who had come to hear Pavarotti rehearse for his Carnegie Hall debut. The tenor gave his all and was sweating profusely when he came to speak with Miss Sutherland afterward. " 'Joan, we fat people know how it is,' he said, wiping his brow. . . . 'Luciano,' she replied: 'We are not fat. You are fat. I am big.' " This same Carnegie Hall concert was the occasion for the introduction of Pavarotti's trademark -- the white handkerchief. The reason? A bad cold. As Breslin put it, "Working with opera singers is a recipe for nervous collapse. The more carefully you make your plans, the more likely it is they'll get sick when the big night rolls around." But after that concert, Pavarotti never appeared without the hanky -- a versatile prop that he also used to wave at the crowd, for emphasis in a song, or as a hiding place for throat lozenges.
