Katherine Jenkins introduces what was billed as Pavarotti in the Park, but Luciano Pavarotti‘s 30th-anniversary concert in Hyde Park could just as well have been called Pavarotti in the Deluge.\n\nThe Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duchess of York, then prime minister John Major and his wife Norma, composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, actor Michael Caine and a crowd estimated at 125,000 turned out despite an incessant downpour to hear the 55-year-old Italian tenor sing a selection of his favourite arias to celebrate 30 years of a stellar career. He was accompanied by the 82-member Philharmonia Orchestra and the 120-voice Philharmonia Chorus.
