TURIN, Italy, April 8 (UPI) -- Ailing opera great Luciano Pavarotti lip-synced his last performance at the winter Olympics in Turin two years ago, conductor Leone Magiera said in a new book.
Magiera wrote in "Pavarotti Visto Da Vicino (Pavarotti Seen From Close Up)" the tenor's performance of the aria "Nessun Dorma" was prerecorded because a live performance would have been "too dangerous," as he wasn't feeling well as the time, the BBC said.
