Letter: Long-distance arias

Published 1 September 2001

From Christine Drinkwater

I was fascinated by Feedback telling us the tale of a long-distance Pavarotti
“broadcast”
(4 August). Especially because I happened to hear the same concert
at 6 am New Zealand time, via my daughter’s mobile. From around 18,500
kilometres away, I was treated to Pavarotti and a lovely soprano singing Puccini
arias, with my daughter’s excited commentary in between. Alas! The credit on her
cellphone ran out all too soon.
