# Opera Revival Luciano Pavaroti's Death By Bianca | Published 2007-09-07 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opera-revival-luciano-pavarotis-death References: [time](http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1659419,00.html?imw=Y) Is that an aria I hear? With media attention on the death of famed tenor, Luciano Pavarotti, the [classical music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-classical-music) might be in our ears once again. Could opera finally get the exposure it's been needing to make a comeback? This Trend Hunter predicts a rival. A little press can go a long way -- when when the news is bad. The famous opera singer, 71, passed away today after an ongoing battle with cancer, and ultimately, kidney failure. He slipped out of consciousness in his Modena home today, surrounded my friends, family and loved ones. In 1990, Pavarotti tamed with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras to sing at the World Cup, an event viewed by 800 million people worldwide. Thanks to the Three Tenors, sales of [opera albums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-night-at-the-opera) shot through the roof. Pavarotti's death will no doubt bring scads of media attention, and with it, they'll likely feature the best of his music, online, on TV and on the radio. Let's see how my little prediction goes... ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Opera Revival:** The death of Luciano Pavaroti could bring media attention to opera and potentially revive the genre. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Classical Music Industry:** The classical music industry may see a boost in interest and sales as the media highlights the best of Luciano Pavaroti's music. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Italian Winemaking-Inspired Tasting Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-winemaking.md) - [Opera House Vacation Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-phantom-of-the-opera-airbnb.md) - [Floating Opera Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isola-della-musica.md) - [Design-Forward Funerary Urn Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funerary-urn.md) - [AI Obituary Composers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/obituary-composer.md) - [Collectible Historical Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thrilljoy-pix.md) - [Classical Music App Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-music-classical.md) - [Reissued Golden Vinyls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-night-at-the-opera.md) - [Accessible Theatre Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teatro-massimo.md)
