Pavoroti

[Eric Perkins]

I've been trying to get hold of the song that Pavoroti sings to stardom with no luck. Anybody please just anyone care to tell me what song title that is?

[Jake the Snake]

O Sole Mio? Probably not.
I agree, Pavarotti is a star, no doubt about it.

[Jim Yingst]

Pavarotti sings a lot of things. I think we need a little context - I don't know what "to stardom" means here. Although "O sole mio" does refer to a star of sorts (the sun), and "Nessun' dorma" mentions stars several times, and is pretty much Pavarotti's signature number.

Pavaroti is good, but I prefer Opera Man.

Now this thread has made me really hungry, by reminding me of Akki Rotti. Sigh!

[Theresa Faulkner]

Pavarotti is good, but I absolutely love Andrea Bocelli. Any other fans of his out there?

Umm! that sounds delicious. Can you name a restaurant in the New York City Area that would serve it.

[Nanhesru Ningyake]

I haven't heard of any US restaurants offering it. I called up my area's Udupi Bhavan, which is run by folks from Karnataka, but they don't have it on their menu either. Your best bet would be to locate some Kannada folks, and cajole them into cooking it for you. Try going to your local Kannada Association's next gathering, and make some friends there

[Jim Yingst]

Hey, I though you were a vegetarian, NN. And yet here you are, encouraging Shama to consume Andrea Bocelli. Fried Bocelli? Bocelli al dente? The mind boggles. I've got to say, I'm going to be a lot more careful around Kannadians from now on.

This thread has taken on a whole new dimension...
How did we go from classical/opera music to Kannadian food???

>here you are, encouraging Shama to consume Andrea Bocelli
I am still a Veggi; afterall, it's Shama who considers Bocelli delicious, not me
>How did we go from classical/opera music to Kannadian food
This is a classic case of thread hijacking

> How did we go from classical/opera music to Kannadian food???
Well, Eric never got back to us to explain what he was talking about so we could answer his question, so we got bored waiting, and when another topic came along, we jumped. After all, we had already been covering opera in another thread.

[Theresa Faulkner]

AAhhhh.
Well then I can't contribute to this thread, because I don't know what Kannadian food is and have certainly never tried it.
Guess I'll go join the classical music thread.....
