Who is Luciano Pavarotti?

Luciano Pavarotti was born Oct. 12, 1935, in Modena in northern Italy. He is a son of Fernando Pavarotti and Adele Venturi  His early musical interests were in the records of his father, most of which included the popular tenors of the time – Beniamino Gigli, Zhovanni Martinelli, Tito Skipp and Enrico Koruzo. When Luciano was about nine years, he began singing with his father in a small local church choir. Also during his youth, he spent a few lessons with Professor Dondi and his wife but did not attach great importance to them. Pavarotti began serious training in 1954 at the age of 19 with Arrigo Pola – a respected teacher and professional tenor in Modena who, while aware of the poverty of the family offered to give lessons without paying. He established himself as one of the finest baritone singers of the twentieth century and was appreciated for the beauty and brilliance of his tone. The combination of the accuracy of pitch and the natural range of voice was one of his best attributes, which earned him great commercial success. He also became popular for his televised concerts that attracted a large number of audience. To him goes the credit of increasing the popularity of opera world over and he is best known for his bel-operatic works such as ‘La Boheme’, ‘Tosca’ and ‘Madama Butterfly’. He also spent time towards humanitarian efforts and worked for the amelioration of refugees. He was a part of the Red Cross Team and served at various other philanthropic organizations.
