londontube, you may want to check out the crunchland method for making MetaFilter posts. It details numerous ways to search for whether your link has been posted previously.

Also, you should check the tag pages for any tags you were thinking of using. For example, your opera tag returns the previous thread (just after your double, for now).

Funny how common words like "Luciano" and "Pavarotti" generate so many search results that makes it hard to spot previous entries... :)

Also also (last thing, I promise), it's good form to read the front page of MeFi if you insist on making a newsfilter post (which obits undoubtedly are).
