Pavarotti was sick Wednesday, May 8, 2002 and canceled his appearance at the Metropolitan Opera, his next-to-last scheduled performance at the famed opera house. The 66-year-old singer, whose live opera appearances have diminished in recent years, is still scheduled to sing the title role in the Met’s “Tosca” on Saturday.
