Pavarotti runs from Monday, July 22nd thru Wednesday, July 24th. It screens Monday to Wednesday at 7pm with an additional screening on Wednesday at 4pm in Thalian Hall’s Main Theatre.

Pavarotti is the riveting new documentary that lifts the curtain on the icon who brought opera to the people. Academy Award winner Ron Howard puts audiences front row center for an exploration of The Voice...The Man...The Legend. Luciano Pavarotti gave his life to the music and a voice to the world. This cinematic event features history-making performances and intimate interviews, including never-before-seen footage and cutting-edge Dolby Atmos technology.

The singer’s optimism is contagious, and his schoolboy-like wonder is jubilant. There’s a lot to smile at here. Ken Jaworowski The NYTimes
