About Luciano Pavarotti
Luciano Pavarotti, was a celebrated Italian tenor in operatic music, who successfully crossed into popular music becoming one of the most beloved vocal performers.
Known for his televised concerts, media appearances, and as one of The Three Tenors, Pavarotti also was noted for his charity work benefiting refugees, the Red Cross and other causes.
He was born in Modena to a family of a baker with a fine tenor voice. After abandoning the dream to become a professional football (soccer) goalkeeper, and spending seven years in vocal training, Pavarotti began as a tenor in 1961 in Italy, and then he sang in various European houses, in The Netherlands, Vienna, London, Ankara, Budapest and Barcelona respectively.
It was while touring on the invitation of soprano Joan Sutherland and during his 1965 US debut in Miami on her recommendation, that the young tenor earned both valuable experience and significant recognition.
They were solidified in the years between 1966 and 1972, during which he first appeared at Milan's La Scala, other major European houses, and - in 1968 - NYC's Metropolitan Opera (Met) to great acclaim.
By the mid-1970s, Pavarotti became known worldwide, famed for the brilliance and beauty of his tone, especially into the upper register. His 'high C' became one of his trademarks. The late 1970s and 1980s saw Pavarotti making significant appearances in the world's opera houses, and establishing himself as one of the great singers of the era.
Popular stardom came at the 1990 World Cup in Italy with the performances of Nessun Dorma from Turandot and as one of The Three Tenors in their famed first concert held on the eve of the final match of the tournament, and repeated at later Cups. Pavarotti sang together with the fellow star tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras, and brought to the much wider audience hits previously confined to the opera world.
Appearances in advertisements and with pop icons in concerts around the world furthered his influence. Pavarotti - unlike many crossover artists - always maintained his identity as an opera star.
The later years brought a decline in ability to perform on stage due to a weight gain and lack of mobility. His final appearance in an opera was at the Met in March 2004. The 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy saw him performing for the last time singing Nessun dorma with the crowd as its Chorus. For this final performance he received a thunderous standing ovation. In 2007, Pavarotti died in Modena from pancreatic cancer.
