BBC Two - Pavarotti: A Life in Seven Arias

Portrait of one of the world's great tenors, the late Luciano Pavarotti.

When Luciano Pavarotti died, the world lost one of its finest voices. This portrait uses archive and interviews with Jose Carreras, Dame Joan Sutherland and Juan Diego Florez.

When Luciano Pavarotti died in 2007, the world lost one of its finest voices. The 'King of the High Cs' was sought after by all the major opera houses in his early career. International superstardom came with his Three Tenors and Pavarotti and Friends concerts, and his version of Nessun Dorma was used for the BBC's coverage of the 1990 FIFA World Cup. This portrait uses archive and the memories of his closest associates- including Jose Carreras, Dame Joan Sutherland and Juan Diego Florez.
