Luciano Pavarotti gave Mr. Ballarini some memorable advice.
"I wasn't used to working with a conductor, and I had a solo," Mr. Ballarini recalled. "The conductor lowered the baton at the rehearsal, and all of a sudden I played the opening solo twice as fast as it should have been played. So Pavarotti says, 'Hey, take it easy ��" it's-a your solo.' So I took it easy and I had-a my solo."
