MODENA, Italy, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Opera singer Luciano Pavarotti is recovering nicely from an infection and should be released from an Italian hospital soon, his wife says.

Nicoletta Mantovani said Friday 71-year-old Italian tenor, who hospital sources said was hospitalized with a infection-based fever, could be released from a hospital in Modena within the next few days, the Italian news agency ANSA reported.

"My husband had a good night. I think they'll discharge him soon," she said.

"Doctors are very positive. My husband is relaxed and playful."

Pavarotti was hospitalized Wednesday for a slight fever and has since been moved to the hospital's oncology ward.

The singer's hospital visit comes more than a year after he had a pancreatic tumor removed while in the United States. Following that surgery, the tenor has undergone five chemotherapy treatments to fight his cancer.

Yet Mantovani had made a previous public statement in which she said her husband's battle with cancer was going well and he was recording music again, ANSA reported.
