Singers who perform operatic roles are classified as the foundation of the classical vocal art in the world. With outstanding voice data, the mastery of performance has to be mastered for years. The best tenor of the 20th century, Luciano Pavarotti, traveled this thorny path.
Childhood and youth
The singers make their feasible contribution to the universal culture by performing not only at prestigious venues, but also in halls where the audience representing the middle class gathers. Every year, interest in operatic art captures more and more wide sections of the population. Fans and fans try not to miss the performances of their idols and thank them with thunderous applause. It is difficult for today's connoisseurs of classical music to even imagine the conditions under which the famous tenor Luciano Pavarotti began his creative career.
The future opera singer was born on October 12, 1935 in an ordinary Italian family. Parents at that time lived in the small town of Modena, which is located in northern Italy. His father worked in a bakery, and his mother worked in a tobacco factory. This is not to say that the Pavarotti family was poor, but the money was barely enough to make ends meet. In his free time from work and household chores, the head of the family sang in the choir of the local church. When Luciano grew up, his father began to take him with him. Already at an early age, the boy's voice cut through.
Creative way
In the house, Luciano had at his disposal a large collection of records, which was collected by the head of the family. The boy listened to these recordings with great pleasure and tried to imitate what he heard. He studied well at school and after graduation decided to become a teacher. The mother insisted on choosing this profession. The young teacher worked at the school for two years and realized that his vocation was singing. He began taking vocal lessons from renowned teachers. They needed money to pay for their studies. Father helped a little. In turn, the teachers understood that they were working with a rare talent, and they reduced the prices to a minimum.
Professional stage performances began in the early 60s. Luciano received recognition from specialists and the public after winning several international competitions. A sensational performance at the Royal Theater in London abruptly changed the fate of the aspiring singer. In the opera The Daughter of the Regiment, he sang Tonio's aria, singing nine high C notes in a row in full force of his voice. This performance became a sensation. The singer began to receive offers of cooperation from all theaters of world importance.
Recognition and privacy
One of Pavarotti's outstanding achievements was the “Three Tenors” project, in which the organizer himself, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras participated. The creative team has existed for almost fifteen years.
The personal life of the opera singer has developed quite well. The first time he married his classmate Adua Veroni. The wedding took place in 1961. The husband and wife raised and raised three daughters. But in 2000, the marriage broke up due to the systematic betrayal of the spouse.
In 2003, Luciano met a girl named Nicoletta Montovani, whom he married. They had a daughter, Alice. Soon the singer fell ill - he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He passed away in September 2007.
