ITALY PAVAROTTI FUNERAL

People wait, in front of a screen displaying a picture of late Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti that reads in Italian "Farwell Maestro", for the start of his funeral outside Modena's Duomo where he is laid out in state, northern Italy, Saturday, Sept. 8, 2007. Pavarotti, whose vibrant high "Cs" and ebullient showmanship made him the most beloved and celebrated tenor since Caruso and one of the few Opera singers to win crossover fame as a popular superstar, died Thursday Sept. 6 in his home. He was 71.
