It has been revealed that Pavarotti was faking it in his last performance. That was at the opening of the Turin Olympics ceremony in 2006.
Pavarotti was in deteriorating health. It was not sure that he could sustain a live performance, especially since it was to be an outdoor performance at night in the cold.
So they decided to pre-record the whole thing in the studio. During the performance Magiera, the maestro, pretended to conduct, Pavarotti mimed the aria, Nessun Dorma, and the orchestra pretended to play.
Magiera disclosed all this in a recent book.
They pulled it off brilliantly!
