Pavarotti Official

We are so excited that one of the greatest cultural icons of all time, Maestro Luciano Pavarotti, is coming to the big screen this summer. To celebrate, you can now watch the iconic video to Nessun Dorma from the 1990 Three Tenors concert, then sing with the Maestro himself for the first time ever!

We are thrilled to announce that one of the greatest cultural icons of all time, Maestro Luciano Pavarotti, is coming to the big screen this summer. From Academy Award winning director Ron Howard comes 'Pavarotti', in US theatres from 7th June, UK & Irish cinemas from 13th July, and with more international dates to follow.

HanWay Films is understood to have closed two major deals on its Luciano Pavarotti documentary, which Ron Howard trumpeted to AFM buyers at a sizzle reel presentation at Shutters on the Beach on Saturday. Now in the final stages of a project that started two years ago and is expected to be ready by the first quarter of 2019, Howard told Screendaily, “We finished our editing and I am still playing Pavarotti every morning.”

ln the summer of 1990 the world was gripped by football fever. The World Cup was taking place, and at the heart of this maelstrom of heightened emotion, High Art fused with Popular Culture as never before. In the UK, the BBC selected the aria "Nessun dorma" from Puccini's last opera, Turandot, as the theme music for its coverage. The version chosen was sung by Luciano Pavarotti and in the course of a few charged weeks a star became a superstar. Yet Pavarotti‘s transformation from hero of the operatic world to household name wasn't just confined to the UK.
