Like Enrico Caruso before him, Luciano Pavarotti extended his presence far beyond the limits of Italian opera. Quickly establishing his trademark rich sound as the great male operatic voice of the 20th century, he expanded his reach to stadium concerts and pop collaborations which brought him fame beyond measure. Audiences adored his larger than life personality, childlike charm, generous figure, and happy go lucky style. To his adoring fans, the tenor became a titan of popular culture. The film celebrates the 50th anniversary since the launch of the international phenomenon. Today it is still his powerful sound with its natural grace and brilliant colour which is considered by many the world’s greatest voice. It is Pavarotti who brought opera to the masses and made football fans worldwide fall in love with ‘Nessun dorma’. This film includes that hit and other beloved arias from La Bohème, Rigoletto and Aida as well as popular duets with Bono, Sting and Eric Clapton
