Pavarotti. A voice for the ages

Description

This program celebrates the 50th anniversary since the launch of the international phenomenon. In 1963 he debuted in Amsterdam, Vienna, Zurich and finally London where he substituted for the ailing Giuseppe di Stefano as Rodolfo in La Bohème. Today it is still his powerful sound with its natural grace and brilliant colour which is considered by many the world's greatest voice. This one hour program includes that hit and other beloved arias from La Bohème, Rigoletto and Aida; Neapolitan songs in arrangements by Henry Mancini including 'Mamma' and 'O Sole Mio'; favourite sacred songs like 'Panis Angelicus'; as well as popular duets with Bono, Sting and Eric Clapton.
