Breath. This is the one thing that singing and yoga practice have in common. Through his mastery of diaphragmatic breathing, a great singer can scale the heights of the greatest arias, in much the same way in which control of the breath and bandhas enables the yogi to move effortlessly through space and time. Also, as you can see from this video, Pavarotti has some serious drishti going on :-)
The late Luciano Pavarotti is one of my favorite opera singers. I don't know much about his personal life, but I really feel that he has done a lot of good in this world and inspired millions through his work. In this way, the world is a better place because he lived. I think this is also what we aspire to as yogis and as human beings.
