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.

Dolente immagine di Fille mia,
perché sì squallida mi siedi accanto?
Che più desideri? Dirotto pianto
io sul tuo cenere versai finor.
Temi che immemore de' sacri giuri
io possa accendermi ad altra face?
Ombra di Fillide, riposa in pace;
è inestinguibile l'antico ardor.

Dolente immagine
Di Fille mia
Perché sì squallida
Mi siedi accanto?
Che più desideri?
Che più desideri?
Dirotto pianto
Io sul tuo cenere
Versai finor
Io sul tuo cenere
Versai finor
Io sul tuo cenere
Versai finor
Io sul tuo cenere
Versai finor
Temi che immemore
De' sacri giuri
Io possa accendermi
Ad altra face?
Io possa accendermi
Ad altra face?
Ombra di Fillide
Riposa in pace
Riposa in pace
È inestinguibile
L'antico ardor
Ombra di Fillide
Riposa in pace
Riposa in pace
È inestinguibile
L'antico ardor
È inestinguibile
L'antico ardor
È inestinguibile
L'antico ardor

Bravo!!!, in my search for recovering my voice fully (after been ill and darkening too much for 5 years!!!) I founded the videos of maestro Luciano Pavarotti like a inspiring ligthed road. he does exactly, while singing, what I feel natural (he attacks from high in the upper paladar," bitting the sound" as he ussed to say in his master classes...all with a superb air appogio from the diaphragmatic zone). His voice is so round and beautiful, that I know I won't be able to compare myself, but he really inspires me a lot!!!. Thank you so much for sharing this divine materila (James Levine is a so telented pianist and conductor, that makes the perfect musical match for Luciano Pavarotti).BRAVOOO!!!!!!!!
