Pavarotti booed by Milan opera buffs at La Scala
Luciano Pavarotti faced boos and whistles from some La Scala fans during the final aria of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor in Milan. He had earlier won rousing applause, while Swiss conductor Peter Maag and designers Rosita and Ottavio Missoni drew jeers. Luciana Serra, debuting in Italy's premier theater, received warm praise. Critics largely differed on the reaction, with one calling the booing absurd.
