There's no mistaking the grand voice, the outsized personality, the friendly, open face. Stepping outside his traditional operatic canon to star in his onIy feature film 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 including Ave Maria, La Donna È Mobile, his signature Nessun Dorma, even l Left My Heart in San Francisco. FrankIin J. Schaffner (Patton) directs, with locations incIuding Italy, Boston, New York and the Napa Valley. Bravo, Giorgio! Bravissimo, Luciano! |
