Few singers can choose to duet with anyone they want, but the legendary Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti did just that.

Luciano Pavarotti was born in 1935 on the outskirts of Modena in Northern Italy, the son of Fernando Pavarotti, a baker and amateur tenor, and Adele Venturi, a cigar factory worker. Also in 2001, Pavarotti was chosen one of that year's five recipients by the President and First Lady as an honoree for their lifetime achievements in the arts at the White House, followed by the Kennedy Center; the Kennedy Center Honors, He was surprised by the appearance of Secretary-General of the United Nations and that year's winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Kofi Annan, who lauded him for his contribution to humankind.

Adams soon realised it was the real Luciano Pavarotti on the other end of the line, and he asked him if he wanted to sing alongside him.

One of his natural homes was on stage at the Royal Opera House, so it's no surprise that Pavarotti sounds so comfortable recording with their resident orchestra here. He felt awkward because he didn’t know how to present himself and hold his hands when he wasn’t playing a character on the opera stage.

His career as a tenor can be traced back to the time he sang with Corale Rossini, a male voice choir from his hometown, Modena, which his father was also a member of. org three complete performances from Pavarotti's early career in 1964, when he was engaged by the Dublin Grand Opera Society to sing Rudolfo in Giacomo Puccini's La bohème [10] (Audio recording of LA BOHEME Presented on 19, 21, 27 May, 1 June 1964 at the Gaiety Theatre Dublin as part of the Dublin Grand Opera Society's Spring Season) and Alfredo in Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata [11] (Audio recording of LA TRAVIATA Presented on 8 June 1964 at the Gaiety Theatre Dublin as part of the Dublin Grand Opera Society's Spring Season, Audio recording of LA TRAVIATA Presented on 25 May 1964 at the Gaiety Theatre Dublin as part of the Dublin Grand Opera Society's Spring Season). His career highlights included performances at the world’s most famous opera houses, celebrity duets from stadium stages, and being a member of The Three Tenors – an operatic ‘supergroup’ whose musical legacy lives on through countless recordings and broadcasts. In an interview in 2005 with Jeremy Paxman on the BBC, Pavarotti rejected the allegation that he could not read music, although he acknowledged he did not read orchestral scores. Pavarotti's earliest musical influences were his father's records, most of them featuring the popular tenors of the day— Beniamino Gigli, Giovanni Martinelli, Tito Schipa, and Enrico Caruso.

For the following year, they rented a single room from a farmer in the neighbouring countryside, where the young Pavarotti developed an interest in farming.

It marked a point in history when opera, for a moment, went completely global and spoke to everyone on the planet - and it was three tenors in particular who made it happen.

Over an eight-year period, Pavarotti had cancelled 26 out of 41 scheduled appearances at the Lyric, and the decisive move by Krainik to ban him for life was well noted throughout the opera world, after the performer walked away from a season premiere less than two weeks before rehearsals began, saying pain from a sciatic nerve required two months of treatment.
