Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
Pavarotti had a lifelong friendship with Joan Sutherland and sang many operas and duets with her. And she also helped to further his career.
In 1963, Joan Sutherland (and her conductor husband, Richard Bonynge), were looking for a young tenor taller than herself to take along on her tour to Australia. Pavarotti proved ideal. The two sang some forty performances over two months, and Pavarotti later credited Sutherland for the breathing technique that would sustain him over his career.
He won many Grammy awards and platinum and gold discs for his performances. In addition to this example, his I puritani (1975) with Sutherland also stands out.
La traviata (The Fallen Woman) is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi set to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. It is based on La dame aux Camélias (1852), a play adapted from the novel by Alexandre Dumas, fils. The opera was originally titled Violetta, after the main character.
