Luciano Pavarotti

How did you become the king of the century?

In 1935, Luciano Pavarotti was born in the northern Italian city of Modena. In fact, before he became a singer, he was a primary school teacher and lived in poverty. In his spare time, he needed to sell insurance to supplement his family. But he inherited his father’s good voice, and both father and son joined the local choir.

At the age of twenty, Pavarotti’s choir won the championship in an international vocal competition. This gave him the idea of taking the road of professional singing. However, his father disagreed. According to my father’s own experience, even with the sound of nature, it is not easy to achieve success in the tenor field.

But his mother encouraged him to try bravely: "My son’s singing is very pleasant." So with the support of his mother, Pavarotti practiced his singing skills for six and a half years, and finally got the opportunity to play Rudolph, the leading actor in the famous opera Bohemian.

In the early 1990s, Pavarotti had become one of the richest singers in the entertainment industry, but he never forgot the embarrassing life of his childhood. Since 1993, every summer, he will hold a charity concert called "Pavarotti and His Friends" in his hometown of Modena, Italy, with his friends, and give his modest contribution to the displaced refugees, children and other people in need around the world.

Ricky Martin and celine dion were both guests at the charity concert. It was an era when pop music occupied the mainstream market, and Pavarotti, as a representative of classical music, became one of the most influential figures of that era. He brought bel canto, which has been confined to the classical music hall for hundreds of years, to the public by extremely relaxed entertainment, and injected new life into classical music.

And Pavarotti

The documentary film Pavarotti was directed by Ron Howard, a director who is very good at making biographies. In 2001, he won the Best Director Award at the 74th Academy Awards for his biopic. In addition, the film he directed was adapted from Nixon’s interview with host Foster. The film he directed is based on the true story of two F1 racers competing with each other in the 1970s.

In 2016, when Ron Howard directed the documentary film Eight Days a Week: The Beatles’ Tour Era, he became interested in music. At the suggestion of the producer, he decided to try to direct a film about Pavarotti.

Because in his view, although many people love opera and know who Pavarotti is, they don’t know him.

Director Ron Howard once said: "The Beatles’ documentaries let more people know the true side of the Beatles and give everyone a chance to understand and respect them. Pavarotti’s documentaries are also directed to do the same thing."

This program is live.
