Honda Pavarotti

"It's been 48 years since Luciano Pavarotti's debut opera performance as Rodolfo in La Boheme at the Teatro Reggio Emilia. To mark the occasion, we hear from poet Tony Hoagland. His poem, 'Honda Pavarotti' explores what happens when the high art of opera meets what he calls the 'dirty old experience' of life."
