Pavarotti hoping for Madonna duet

LONDON, England -- Luciano Pavarotti, the world's most famous opera singer, said on Wednesday he would love to sing a duet with Madonna.

"That is my dream," said the Italian tenor, clutching a heart-shaped box of chocolates to his ample frame at a St Valentine's Day news conference in London.

"It is my hope. Madonna has a very clear idea. She promised me to come if we could sing together 'Caro Mio Bene' (My Dear One).'

"She is probably busy. First she make the baby. Then I don't know. If you give me a contact, I thank you very much," he told reporters.
