'Artist's values incompatible with candidate's vision'

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Rome, July 21 - Luciano Pavarotti's family on Thursday urged Donald Trump not to use the late operatic tenor's music for his campaign. "We learned today that the aria 'Nessun dorma' performed by Luciano Pavarotti is being used (on) the Donald Trump campaign soundtrack," read a letter signed by several members of the family. "We remind you that the values of brotherhood and solidarity that Luciano Pavarotti upheld throughout his artistic career are incompatible with the world vision of the candidate Donald Trump".
    The letter was signed by Lorenza, Cristina, Giuliana and Nicoletta Mantovani Pavarotti. Pavarotti (1935-2007) established himself as one of the finest tenors of the 20th century and was also known for his charity work on behalf of refugees and the Red Cross, amongst others. 'Nessun dorma' (None shall sleep) is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's frequently performed opera Turandot and is one of the best-known tenor arias in all opera.
