Once armed with partners, funding and a feasibility plan, he entered into an agreement with the owners...

As for Madonna's rumored duet with Britney Spears, Spears was a relative model of restraint when she told a Swedish magazine, "There never were any clear plans, only lots of talk. But I'd really love to do it." Back to Pavarotti: "I have asked Madonna, but she has been busy. First she makes the baby, and then, I don't know...
