Nurturing young people’s talent. Luciano Pavarotti is not only considered the most famous Italian tenor but one of the ten greatest of all time. He had it all: bright, clear high notes, impeccable phrasing, clean timbre, and unmatched expressivity.
His merits are undeniable, because he brought opera to a global audience, making millions of people passionate about what was considered a “niche” genre: too far from pop and rock music, too “old” for a generation used to rap, trap, and hip hop. He believed in musical crossover and genre contamination – a sacrilege in the eyes of many – and got closer to people who didn’t know opera, that sublime encounter between music, singing, and theatricality considered quintessentially Italian.
