Fandom Of The Opera

Reports in the Italian media say opera star Luciano Pavarotti, above, is the first “big fish” tax authorities are going after in a new operation aimed at more than 100 rich and famous expatriates. The reports say the beloved tenor is accused of failing to report about $6 million in income from concerts he gave abroad. Pavarotti’s official residence is the tax haven Monte Carlo, but officials claim he really lives in Italy, which taxes the worldwide income of its residents.
