In June 1998, at Modena’s Parco Novi Sad, Luciano Pavarotti hosted Pavarotti & Friends for the Children of Liberia—a star-studded benefit concert directed by Spike Lee to support War Child efforts. Among the standout performances was a breathtaking collaboration between opera legend Pavarotti and rock icon Jon Bon Jovi, delivering the poignant “Let It Rain” to a global audience

Departing from his signature arena-rock swagger, Bon Jovi took a more restrained, emotionally charged route, complementing Pavarotti’s soaring operatic delivery. The song began gently, with Bon Jovi’s clear voice weaving through a choir of children—Liberian and Italian—before swelling to a powerful crescendo alongside Pavarotti’s majestic tenor .

This intimate yet grand rendition aligned perfectly with Pavarotti’s vision of bridging genres for a humanitarian cause. The collaboration symbolized harmony not just in music, but in heart—rock and opera converging for children in crisis. Critics praised the pairing for its sincerity and emotional resonance, calling it “a moment when two worlds found common ground in song” .

“Let It Rain” went on to feature on the live album and video release of the concert, solidifying its place in the canon of memorable cross-genre performances. For Bon Jovi, it was a rare and revealing departure from bombastic hits—a deeply human moment that showcased his adaptability as an artist. For Pavarotti, it reaffirmed his belief that music, in all its forms, can be a vehicle for compassion
