He was born in Modena to the family of a baker. After abandoning the dream to become a professional football goalkeeper, Pavarotti spent seven years in vocal training and began his career as a tenor in 1961 in Italy. He sang in houses in the Netherlands, Vienna, London, Ankara, Budapest, and Barcelona.
He soon gained fame due to the power and strength of his voice. The young tenor earned valuable experience and significant recognition while touring on the invitation of soprano Joan Sutherland, making his 1965 U.S. debut in Miami, Florida on her recommendation. His position was solidified in the years between 1966 and 1972, during which Pavarotti first appeared at Milan's seminal La Scala, at other major European houses, and, in 1968, at NYC's Metropolitan Opera. He received great acclaim, particularly working well with Joan Sutherland.
By the mid-70s, the tenor became known worldwide, famed for the brilliance and beauty of his tone, especially into the upper register. His "high C" became one of his trademarks. The late 70s and 80s saw Pavarotti making significant appearances in the world's opera houses and establishing himself as one of the great singers of the era.
Popular stardom came at the 1990 World Cup in Italy with the performances of "Nessun Dorma" (from Turandot) and as one of The Three Tenors in their famed first concert held on the eve of the final match of the tournament (repeated at later Cups). Pavarotti sang together with fellow star tenors Plácido Domingo and José Carreras and brought to the much wider audience hits previously confined to the opera world. Appearances in advertisements and with pop icons in concerts around the world furthered his influence. Pavarotti always maintained his identity as an opera star, unlike many crossover artists.
The later years brought a decline in ability to perform on stage due to a weight gain and lack of mobility. Pavarotti's final appearance in an opera was at the Met in March 2004. The 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy saw him performing for the last time. Pavarotti sang Nessun Dorma, with the crowd as its Chorus, and got a thunderous standing ovation. On September 6, 2007, he died at home in Modena from pancreatic cancer.

Luciano Pavarotti Lyrics
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare
Mamma mia, si salterà
L'ora è bella per danzare
Chi è in amor non mancherà
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare
Mamma mia, si salterà
L'ora è bella per danzare
Chi è in amor non mancherà
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare
Mamma mia, si salterà
Presto in danza a tondo, a tondo
Donne mie venite qua
Un garzon bello e giocondo
A ciascuna toccherà
Finché in ciel brilla una stella
E la luna splenderà
Il più bel con la più bella
Tutta notte danzerà
Mamma mia, mamma mia
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare
Mamma mia, mamma mia
Mamma mia, si salterà
Frinche, frinche, frinche
Frinche, frinche, frinche
Mamma mia, se salterà
Frinche, frinche, frinche
Frinche, frinche, frinche
Mamma mia, se salterà

Salta, salta, gira, gira
Ogni coppia a cerchio va
Già s'avvanza, si ritira
E all'assalto tornerà
Salta, salta, gira, gira
Ogni coppia a cerchio va
Già s'avvanza, si ritira
E all'assalto tornerà
Già s'avvanza, si ritira
E all'assalto tornerà
Sera, sera, colla bionda
Colla bruna va qua e là
Colla rosa va a seconda
Colla smorta fermo sta
Viva il ballo a tondo a tondo
Sono un Re, sono un pascià
E il più bel piacer del mondo
La più cara voluttà
Mamma mia, mamma mia
Già la luna è in mezzo al mare
Mamma mia, mamma mia
Mamma mia, si salterà
Frinche, frinche, frinche
Frinche, frinche, frinche

Danza, danza, fanciulla, al mio cantar.
Danza, danza, fanciulla, al mio cantar.
Gira leggera, sottile
al suono,
al suono dell’onde del mar.
Senti il vago rumore
dell’aura scherzosa
che parla al core
con languido suon,
con languido suon.
e che invita a danzar
senza posa,
senza posa, che invita a danzar.
Danza, danza, fanciulla gentile,
fanciulla gentile, al mio cantare,
al mio cantar,
danza, danza al mio cantar.

Dance, dance, girl, to my cantar.
Dance, dance, girl, to my cantar.
It turns light, thin
at the sound,
at the sound of the wave of the sea.
Feel the vague noise
of the joking aura
that speaks to the core
with languid tones,
with languid tones.
and that invites you to dance
without laying,
without posing, which invites you to dance.
Dance, dance, kind girl,
kind girl, to my singing,
to my cantar,
dance, dance to my cantar.

I love this song. Pavarotti is my favorite singer!!!!!!!!
Joan Lembo
The most pleasing voice in the world . ❤️❤️❤️
Jeff Dawson
Legendary. Much faster than the allegro con vivace of 138 bps tempo in the sheet music. More like 180’s here. But it’s Luciano—!

Bravo Luciano. That said, I wish to discuss this wretched song. Written in the 1700's, it smells strongly of baroque style, and the tendency of that era for composers to treat the voice as a mere instrument. This trite little tidbit is just a tra-la-la with no emotional nothing. If you want to sing it, go for it. Want a real SONG from the same era? I'll take "Caro Mio Ben" (1783) over it any day: written for expressive VOICE.
Chris Harris
Giordano is more famous than Durante, and I think the wretchedness of this song is that it was played too fast, and probably would have been intended to be instrumental music. But I love this aria, and I don't love Caro Mio Ben.

@Larry Lutz - yes, bless you brother. dream on.
Larry Lutz
This was one of three audition songs I performed for college scholarship. Technically and vocally trying, but void of any emotion. I earned the full ride, but due to many circumstances my career never materialized. A boy can still dream if he's an old man....can't he?
