Even if you’re not an opera fan, you can’t ignore the beautiful voice of the great tenor, Luciano Pavarotti. Pavarotti is a documentary that’s high on emotion and filled with glorious music, as you might expect. Directed by Academy Award winner Ron Howard, the film puts audiences front row center for an exploration of The Voice…The Man…The Legend. Howard made this film not just for opera lovers but for anyone who can appreciate what Pavarotti gave to the world. Howard said he didn’t know much about Pavarotti when the idea came to do this film. But his technique in directing the film is almost like a journalist in uncovering the facts, and most importantly, in a way to tell the story in a compelling way. He’s structured the documentary almost like a three-act opera detailing Pavarotti’s earlier years, his rise to fame, and his enormous popularity after the Three Tenors concerts with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras that brought a whole new audience to opera. Mixing rare archival footage, remastered performances and new interviews with some 53 subjects including Pavarotti’s first wife, their three daughters and his last wife who opened up the archives to the filmmakers, Pavarotti proves to be a full-bodied and richly entertaining look at the man and the musician extraordinaire. “Pavarotti's larger-than-life personality shines in almost every scene. The singer's optimism is contagious, and his schoolboy-like wonder is jubilant. There's a lot to smile at here,” says Ken Jaworowski of The New York Times. 1:54. Rated PG-13 for some war-related images.
