One afternoon, I had a PBS broadcast of one of his performances on (can't remember which one). At this time, I had a mouse in my apartment that I had not been able to catch. As Pavarotti was singing an aria, I heard a noise behind me. I looked and saw the mouse--sitting up on its haunches, its eyes bright and fixated on the TV, its head tilted to one side, listening intently.

Yes, apparently il Pavarotti's voice could even charm a wild field mouse! I referred to the rodent as "Luciano" until I finally managed to catch him in a live trap and released him in a farm field.
