Pavarotti: Birth of a Pop Star

52MIN

September 6th, 2017 marks a decade since the passing of the man who was probably the greatest, and was incontestably the most popular of opera singers in history – the Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti. Although he is unanimously credited with having democratised opera, making it accessible to the greatest number, focus is rarely put on the strategy he devised and implemented in order to carry out his actions, nor what his actions reveal of the man and artist, and of the resulting metamorphosis from opera singer to pop artist. Through this angle, this film sets out to pay tribute to the man who summed up his credo, obsession and life’s work, in the following way: “They led the public to believe that classical music belonged to a restricted elite. I was the way to prove to the world that was wrong.
