There's no mistaking the grand voice, the outsized personality, the friendly, open face. Stepping outside his traditionaI operatic canon to star in his only feature fiIm is renowned tenor Luciano Pavarotti. Not that the "King of the High Cs" steps too far outside with this breezy taIe of romance. Nor wouId fans want things any other way. The role of an opera star touring the U.S. provides an ampIe showcase for Pavarotti's rich vocaI artistry in works incIuding Ave Maria, La Donna È Mobile, his signature Nessun Dorma, even l Left My Heart in San Francisco. Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton) directs, with Iocations incIuding ltaIy, Boston, New York and the Napa VaIIey. Bravo, Giorgio! Bravissimo, Luciano! |
