Pavarotti

Born in 1935 in Modena in the working-class family of a baker father and a mother who worked in a cigar factory, since his childhood Luciano Pavarotti had a passion for opera because of his father, an amateur tenor. Blessed with a powerful voice and student of Italy's most important opera teachers of the times, Pavarotti soon made his name a reference of the genre, giving some of the most memorable live performances in the world's most important theaters, meeting with politicians and world leaders as well as rock and pop singers to present concerts for humanitarian causes, surpassing any limit when he was part of The Three Tenors with José Carreras and Plácido Domingo. Using archive footage, unreleased material from home videos and photos, and interviews from his family and closest friends, legendary director Ron Howard reviews the professional career of the man who turned opera into a mass phenomenon as never before, and also discovering the personal life of the man behind the star.
