The Voice of Opera: Remembering Luciano Pavarotti
Sono passati quasi 10 anni dalla scomparsa di Luciano Pavarotti il 6 settembre 2007, anche se la sua eredità vivrà per sempre. È uno dei pochi cantanti lirici ad aver conquistato la fama tra i generi musicali come una popolare superstar.
“Vorrei essere ricordato come l’uomo che ha portato l’opera alle masse”, ha detto il leggendario tenore in un’intervista. Il tenore più amato e celebrato dopo Caruso sarà ricordato per questo, ma anche per la sua vita vigorosa e appassionata.
Per Modena, la città natale di Pavarotti, e i suoi fan di tutto il mondo, la perdita continua ad essere fresca. Lo scorso maggio un colorato murale con il suo volto sorridente è stato dipinto su via Mazzoni per dare il benvenuto in città ai visitatori.
Un omaggio a Big Luciano partirà da Modena la mattina presto del 6 settembre, quando la Casa-Museo Pavarotti offrirà l’ingresso gratuito. La fondazione che sovrintende la casa e il museo di Pavarotti ha fatto un ottimo lavoro, preservando sia la sua casa che gli effetti personali.
Sempre il 6 settembre, un libro intitolato Luciano, il sole nella voce sarà presentato dalla Fondazione Pavarotti come una cronaca autorevole della sua carriera. Sarà presentato alla Casa Museo.
Per onorare il lascito duraturo della sua voce senza tempo e dall’espressione musicale immacolata e per celebrare il decennale della sua morte, Placido Domingo e José Carreras uniranno le forze per un concerto tributo la sera del 6 settembre all’Arena di Verona.
Sarà uno spettacolo fatto con il cuore, con i due grandi tenori che insieme a Luciano hanno reso possibile il fenomeno dei Tre Tenori. Three Tenors in Concert registrato live a Roma alle Terme di Caracalla il 7 luglio 1990 è l’album di musica classica più venduto al mondo.
Un grande anfiteatro romano costruito nel I secolo D.C., l’Arena di Verona con la sua capacità di 30.000 spettatori, è la più grande sala lir
Luciano Pavarotti – the Great Italian Tenor
Luciano Pavarotti, a world-renowned celebrity, was an Italian opera singer with exceptional pitch and a wide vocal range. He gained prominence as one of the three tenors and performed on stage for over 40 years, also imparting masterclasses in several conservatories worldwide.
Biography
Luciano Pavarotti was born on October 12, 1935, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, specifically in Modena.
Family
The head of the family, Fernando, worked at a bakery and had a deep passion for music, while his mother, Adele Venturi, worked at a cigarette factory. The family lived modestly in a small two-room apartment, but Luciano and his younger sister Gabriella (1940-2013) remembered their childhood with warmth. As the only male child among the 15 families residing in their building, he received special attention.
Fernando Pavarotti had a good tenor voice but a difficult temperament, which prevented him from becoming a popular singer despite his involvement in the Modena choir “Coral Rossi.” He had a collection of recordings by Beniamino Gigli, Enrico Caruso, and Tito Schipa, which he listened to daily, often accompanied by his son.
Childhood and Youth
Like many Italians, the young boy loved music and constantly sang, dreaming of becoming famous. Using the kitchen table as his makeshift stage, he would climb on top and passionately sing the aria “La donna è mobile” (“Woman is fickle”) from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Rigoletto,” portraying the Duke of Mantua. Initially, Luciano’s first audience, the neighbors in the apartment building, did not appreciate his vocal performances and demanded silence.
However, at that time, the little boy found more interest in catching lizards and frogs and playing soccer than pursuing music.
During World War II, difficult times arrived, and the family decided to change their place of residence. In 1943, they settled in a Luciano Pavarotti was a best-selling classical singer and humanitarian known for his most original and popular performances with the 'Three Tenors' and 'Pavarotti & Friends'. 1840 opéra comique by Gaetano Donizetti La fille du régiment (French pronunciation:[lafijdyʁeʒimɑ̃], The Daughter of the Regiment) is an opéra comique in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti, set to a French libretto by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Jean-François Bayard. It was first performed on 11 February 1840 by the Paris Opéra-Comique at the Salle de la Bourse. Donizetti wrote the opera while living in Paris between 1838 and 1840 and preparing a revised version of his then-unperformed Italian opera, Poliuto, as Les martyrs for the Paris Opéra. Since Martyrs was delayed, the composer had time to write the music for La fille du régiment, his first opera set to a French text, and to stage the French version of Lucia di Lammermoor,Lucie de Lammermoor. La fille du régiment quickly became a popular success partly because of the famous aria "Ah! mes amis, quel jour de fête!", which requires the tenor to sing no fewer than eight high Cs – a frequently sung ninth is not written.La figlia del reggimento, a slightly different Italian-language version (in translation by Calisto Bassi), was adapted to the tastes of the Italian public. The opening night was "a barely averted disaster." Apparently the lead tenor was frequently off pitch. The noted French tenor Gilbert Duprez, who was present, later observed in his Souvenirs d'un chanteur: "Donizetti often swore to me how his self-esteem as a composer had suffered in Paris. He was never treated there according to his merits. I myself saw the unsuccess, almost the collapse, of La fille du régiment." It received a highly negative review from the French critic and composer Hector Berlioz (Journal des débats, 16 February 1840), who claimed it could not be taken seriously by the public or its composer, although Berlioz conceded that some of the music, "the little
He was born on October 12, 1935, in Modena, Emilia-Romagna, in Northern Italy. He was the first child and only son of two children in the family of a baker. His father, Fernando Pavarotti, was a gifted amateur tenor, who instilled a love for music and singing in young Luciano. His mother, Adele Venturi, worked at the local cigar factory. Young Pavarotti showed many talents. He first sang with his father in the Corale Rossi, a male choir in Modena, and won the first prize in an international choir competition in Wales, UK. He also played soccer as a goalkeeper for his town's junior team.
In 1954, at the age of 19, Pavarotti decided to make a career as a professional opera singer. He took serious study with professional tenor Arrio Pola, who discovered that Pavarotti had perfect pitch, and offered to teach him for free. After six years of studies, he had only a few performances in small towns without pay. At that time Pavarotti supported himself working as a part-time school teacher and later an insurance salesman. In 1961 he married his girlfriend, singer Adua Veroni, and the couple had three daughters.
Pavarotti made his operatic debut on April 29, 1961, as Rodolfo in La Boheme by Giacomo Puccini, at the opera house in Reggio Emilia. In the following years he relied on the professional advise from tenor Giuseppe Di Stefano, who prevented Pavarotti from appearances when his voice was not ready yet. Eventually Pavarotti stepped in for Di Stefano in 1963, at the Royal Opera House in London as 'Rodolfo' in La Boheme by Giacomo Puccini, making his international debut. That same year he met soprano Joan Sutherland and the two began one of the most legendary partnerships in vocal history; Pavarotti made his American debut opposite Sutherland in February of 1965 La fille du régiment
