Pavarotti

From the filmmaking team behind the highly acclaimed documentary The Beatles: Eight Days A Week—The Touring Years, Pavarotti is a riveting film that lifts the curtain on the icon who brought opera to the people. Academy Award winner Ron Howard puts audiences front row center for an exploration of The Voice…The Man…The Legend: Luciano Pavarotti, who gave his life to music and a voice to the world. This cinematic event features history-making performances and intimate interviews, including never-before-seen footage.

Presented alongside Sounds of Summer.

"Howard’s film is a love letter to the icon, but ultimately Pavarotti is a more of a celebration of the individual behind that façade and a reminder that it’s as much his humanity as his talent that made him a star."
Todd Gilchrist, TheWrap
"Director Ron Howard knows how to make it emotional and appealing, to make us love the man as well as the extraordinary voice, as he skims the surface of a grand life and career."
Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald

This film is part of the Ron Howard Retrospective series.
