LOS ANGELES - Director Ron Howard did not know much about opera, but he understands drama when he sees it, and Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti’s life was packed with it.
“Pavarotti,” arriving in U.S. movie theaters on Friday, uses rarely seen performances, home video and interviews with the singer’s family and friends, including his second wife Nicoletta Mantovani, as well as archive material with some of his famous friends such as Princess Diana, Nelson Mandela, and Irish rock singer Bono.
“We’re almost making an opera about Pavarotti using these arias and these great performances because the performances are just staggering,” he added.
