A great, great artist. Not my favorite tenor of all time, but

Since opera is not undeniably great, can an opera singer be undeniably
great?

Yes


Pavarotti aside, the idea that anyone can declare someone undeniably
great is more than a bit arrogant IMO.


Yes, I'm sure.


So was Babe Ruth and (sic) undeniably great home run hitter?


No, he was fat man who faced relatively poor pitching
by todays standard.
Barry is not undeniably great either.
Claims of undeniability on a subjective matter is to claim
supremacy of opinion.

no other 'fat man' of his era even came close.
much less any 'fit man'.
