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.
Ti adoro
Luciano Pavarotti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Questa è l'attitudine mia
Di cantare, cantare per te
Io ti adoro, a me piace tutto di te
Sono pazzo, e le sono di te
Ed anche se ci sei, vorrei tu fosse qui
Perché sei bella da morire
E nulla al mondo mai ci dividerà
Sei l'aurora, sei l'arcobaleno per me
E pur di averti, io t'inventerei
Oh oh
(Figaro qua, Figaro là)
(Sono un barbiere di qualità, la, la, la, la)
A volte io vorrei ti allontanassi
Per godere quel momento quando tu ritornerai
Sentire quella gioia come un bimbo
Che oggi a scuola non andrà
Ed una vita, no, bastare non mi può
Per dirti tutto ciò che vibra nel mio cuor
Ma in tre minutti di questa arietta
Ti convincerò che sei tutto per me
Ti adoro, e non so spiegarti il perché
Vivo bene, se tu sei con me
Sei luce quando è buio dentro di me
Sei calore nel freddo che c'è
(Ho capito che d'amore a volte poi si muore)
(Soprattuto che l'effetto più importante è nel rispetto)
Nella voglia di partire, nella gioia di tornare
Nell'istinto primordiale di riuscire ad amare
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Tu sei luce quando è buio dentro di me
Sei il calore nel freddo che c'è
Ti adoro
