Pavarotti's Biography
Pavarotti was born in Modena, Italy, on October 12,
1935, the first child and only son of a baker. As a boy,
sports occupied much of his time. He first sang in the
Modena chorus with his father, a fervent lover of opera
and gifted amateur tenor.
His debut came on April 29, 1961, as Rodolfo in La
Boheme. That success led to engagements throughout Italy
and the World, where he conquered audiences in
Amsterdam, Vienna, Zurich, and London.
But it wasn't until February 17, 1972, that the
Pavarotti phenomenon was born, in a production of La
Fille du Regiment at New York's Metropolitan Opera.
His frequent television appearances in performance as
well as in documentaries and on talk shows continue to
add to his musical renown. His performance as Rodolfo
thrilled America in the first Live from the Met telecast
in March of 1977, which attracted one of the largest
audiences ever for a televised opera. And from that same
stage, he and Plácido Domingo together celebrated their
25th anniversaries with an Opening Night Gala
performance in the fall of 1993.
He consistently draws record-breaking audiences to
sold-out arena concerts in many countries and shares his
music with huge audiences in the great public parks of
the world. Maestro Pavarotti is also dedicated to the
development of the careers of young singers, and
conducts standing-room-only master classes at
conservatories around the world. Illuminated by his
radiant personality and propelled by his zest for life
Luciano Pavarotti's golden voice transcends the walls of
the opera house to reach inside every human heart and
mind.
Pavarotti certainly reached many hearts in Pula, when he
last year played in the amphitheatre.
