Pavarotti’s life as a singer brought him worldwide fame and untold fortune of the kind rarely associated with classical music. Artists from all sorts of different fields warmed to a man who really did have a popular touch, with a voice that stirred the hearts and souls of 1.3 billion people in the case of Three Tenors concert that was televised from Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium in 1994. In the first of the Rhinegold Legends of Music series, we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the birth of an operatic legend, Luciano Pavarotti.
