- <p> LUCIANO PAVAROTTI ought to be glad that most of today's
- operagoers never bother to pack a few ripe tomatoes in their
- evening bags. The crowd attending La Scala's opening night in
- Milan last week just might have enjoyed hurling a few messy
- vegetables in the tenor's direction. While he was performing the
- title role of Don Carlo, Pavarotti's voice cracked, an error
- that audience members--some of whom had paid $1,100 for a seat--greeted with meanspirited whistles and catcalls. "How do I
- feel?" Pavarotti said later. "Like a woman who has given birth
- to a baby feetfirst."
