STORYLINE
Verdi's "Ave Maria" wafted through Modena's cathedral on Saturday as the world bade farewell to Luciano Pavarotti with a funeral close to his classical roots, attended by family, dignitaries and close friends and followed by admirers around the world.
Pope Benedict XVI sent a telegram of condolence, which was read out at the start of the service.
He said Pavarotti had "honoured the divine gift of music through his extraordinary interpretative talent."
Thousands of people watched the invitation-only service on a huge television screen erected in Modena's main piazza, where a recording of the tenor's most famous works had boomed out during two days of public viewing.
Pavarotti's white maple casket, covered in sunflowers (his favourite) lay before the altar, with his wife, Nicoletta Mantovani, looking on.
Sitting nearby were Pavarotti's three daughters from his first marriage.
The opera great died on Thursday in his home on Modena's outskirts after battling pancreatic cancer for more than a
year.
He was 71 and was beloved by generations of opera-goers and pop fans alike for his breathtaking high Cs and his hearty renditions of folk songs like "O Sole Mio".
City officials said 87,000 memorial cards had been handed out to well-wishers paying their final respects to
Pavarotti.
Admirers signed books of condolences placed by vases of sunflowers outside the cathedral.
The Foreign Ministry said similar books of condolences would be available to well-wishers at Italian embassies and consulates around the world.
Tenor Andrea Bocelli was to sing Mozart's "Ave Verum Corpus" while the Rossini Chorus performed hymns throughout the service, which was celebrated by Modena Archbishop Benito Cocchi and 18 other priests.
Pavarotti's body, dressed in a black tuxedo and with his hands clutching his trademark white handkerchief, had been on public display inside the cathedral since Thursday night.
Among those at the funeral were Premier Romano Prodi, U2 lead singer Bono, Italy's culture minister, Francesco Rutelli and the former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Other celebrities with whom Pavarotti worked over the years were expected to be invited to a memorial charity event in the coming months, Pavarotti's manager, Terri Robson, said.
The tenor was to be buried in Montale Rangone cemetery, near Modena, where members of his family, including his parents and stillborn son Riccardo, are buried.
That Pavarotti - a divorced man who had a child out of wedlock - was given a public viewing and a funeral in the cathedral spurred some debate here.
A Modena parish priest, the Reverend Giorgio Bellei, told Corriere della Sera that the move amounted to "profanation of the temple."

@@noyyniebb8424 u probs 07... dont know much about this certain topic g lmao
No the universe😔
Respect from Australia 2021! My father had me listen to him as small boy and was blown away buy your incredible voice! R.I.P
Goodbye to our great Pavarotti!!
Sempre nei nostri cuori❤️
I ”found” him a year ago when I started to listen opera regularly again, after many years. It was something extraordinary - he truly was one of the kind. Nobody else has got that close to me with their music - no music or artist has ever touched me like he did. I felt a some kind of real connection when listening to him. And realising at the same time that he is gone, it hit hard. I’ve been grieving since and it still hurts.
I’ve never cried like that for anyone else except family members. And I never even met him. I was only a child when he passed away. Still, somehow I love and miss him so much, like I would have known him personally. It’s weird when you realise you mourn someone who you never knew - I don’t understand it even myself but it is what it is. Music has a great power and I can tell he was a great man too, with a big heart and a warm personality.
Rest in peace, Maestro. We miss you. ❤️
Not really into Opera but for some reason I watched this funeral live, Nessun Dorma playing, widow walking behind the coffin as it left the church, Italian air force flying above leaving contrails of red white and green, it was near on an Opera itself.
He's an icon of Italy, a Legend
Thank you so much for sharing the funeral of Luciano Pavarotti with the world. I appreciate Luciano's divine voice and his great contribution
to the musical world. He must be up there in Heaven singing with the angels !!!!! My thankyou and sympathy to Luciano's family too.
Sincerely, Robert S.J. Hu Farewell from Hawaii May 16, 2021.
I wanted to see again Luciano Pavarotti's funeral services . Take care my friend. Robert September 23, 2021.
I grew up watching him as a superstar but eventually he became a legend. A faithful Christian, may his spirit rest in peace until the Glorious day of Resurrection. He will sing again to the glory of God.
"god" lul
Hinduism has over 300 000 000 "gods", but somehow, some people think that "only mine is the real one".:D
Religious fanatics are funny.
@@OriginalPuro shut up pajeet
I wish he could live forever.
I know is too late for 5 year, but i aways said, R. I. P . Mr. Pavarotti 😢

Luciano Pavarotti was a national treasure. RIP.
I'm sure he's the choirmaster in heaven rn😭😭
It is not for us to judge a soul.
Selamat tinggal penyanyi terbaik
So sad to see this, 😪🥺
I ve been watching videos of him since yesterday and it really saddens me he passed away. I dont know why this happens…
I know the feeling. It’s been a year for me. The loss feels personal. There are some things we just cannot understand.
The world was left a poorer place when Pavarotti died.
Rest in peace
Un gran tenor
Excelente emocionante
Pavarotti = Singing in Heaven with God's Angelic Choir.
Yeah right.
There is no heaven, Pavarotti is dead and is not singing to anyone.
@@OriginalPuro atheist😒
@@OriginalPuro You need to prove that there is no heaven lol
@@tayeebhussain5014 so what, heaven is proven to be true? Why prove something's not real if there's no evidence that it IS real?
Am I the only one, seeing some people here and there that look like they don't wanna be there🤔
Rubbish. If they didn't want to be there they wouldn't be there. They queued for three days and three nights to pay their respect to the greatest singer of the century.
Yes. You are the only one ..
