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.

Mmh
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
Quante volte va
Anche se tu non lo vuoi
Ogni piccola sconfitta sembra sia
Un deserto
Di rinunce e grande ostilità
E vuoi dimenticare la realtà
La luce dentro te
Si accende sai perché
Non sei mai solo nei momenti in cui
Ti sembra che nessuno al mondo
Creda in te
Non perderti perchè
La luce tua si accenderà
E vedrai che il buio in quel momento svanirà
Ooh
Lord knows (lord knows)
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away, yeah yeah
(La luce dentro te) just hold on
And there will be tomorrow
And in time
You'll find the way (you'll find the way)
La luce dentro te (and then a hero comes along)
Si accende sai perché (with the strength to carry on)
Non sei mai solo nei momenti in cui (and you cast your fears aside)
Ti sembra che nessuno al mondo ('cause you know you can survive)
Creda in te (when you feel like)
Non perderti perché (hope is gone, look inside you and be strong)
La luce tua si accenderà e vedrai (and you'll finally see the truth)
Che il buio in quel momento svanirà (that a hero lies in you)
That a hero lies in you
La luce dentro te
Doo, that a hero lies in you

@MIXANDMTCH
i wanted to write 'Mariah Carey & Luciano Pavarotti' but i ran out of character space so i had to remove his first name 💀
@labbecedario1579
In Italy He's called just with his surname 99% of the times, so no problem 😄
