and yes, they did belt out Nessun Dorma and other famous ones.
Bit of humour too as the MC had played the mayor in the movie, the dish.

The backdrop of the Dish and the moon above was an inspiring sight and iconic of the connection it made in the apollo era between the moon and the earth.
they have some pics on their website as well

Must have been an experience

It was the three Tenors concert in Rome in 1990 that turned me toward opera (as I am sure it did to many) and I recon this spectacle at Parks may have turned a few too

Ah...the maestro...can't believe he is dead...

Non discordar di me

...oh and..at his absolute best in 1982, he was the real voice
