Luciano Pavarotti answers a few questions after the first act of the Metropolitan Opera's 1977 production of La Bohème.

He talks mainly about his performing superstitions, the "Italian Tenor" sound & the way he experiences his own voice whilst singing.

  • @Merryjest  "The interviewer?" that's Tony Randall, man!

  • @ShawDAMAN A lot of people tended to criticize Pav as a poor actor because of his lack of mobility. I didn't really see their point- yes, he was impaired in movement, specially towards the end of his career, but everything else was working. I guess some people have the expectation that everybody be trim, handsome and ripped. Ugh.

  • Haha - in this video it seems that the interviewer has a much more voluminous voice because Luciano is nervous...

    RIP Pavarotti !!!

  • I always wish it had been Freni.

    I bet he did too.

  • Thanks for this nice interview. A brilliant quality. Luciano was the best, "Rodolfo". Just as it says Dee:

    He is gorgeous... adorable... charming.... perfection....Ciao :)))

  • I am not surprised Tony brought up Jussi he was a big fan of the Swedish tenor and Pavoratti brought up Tucker a tenor he respected also.

  • Could have been worse. He didn't really crack the C. Of course being the first Met telecast he would have liked to perform his best but that never happens does it? It was a fine performance otherwise - wish they could've cast someone other than Scotto for the Mimi though (sorry Scotto fans).

  • I appreciate Tony Randall saying he thought Pavarotti was a good actor. I think Pavarotti was often unfairly criticized for poor acting.

  • What a nice gracious interview. 'salute a tutti' hehe.

  • Yeah, he was a professional, and a professional have to think like this if doesn't want to regress
