Bravo! Luciano Pavarotti, opera's golden tenor, makes his long-awaited film debut in a movie dedicated to lovers everywhere! A delicious, fun-filled romantic comedy, Yes, Giorgio is studded with spine-tingling performances by one of the greatest voices of all time! Pavarotti stars as Giorgio Fini, an Italian tenor on a triumphant tour of the United States. When he is stricken with "sudden crsis of the voice," Giorgio and his manager (Eddie Albert) are thrown into panic. The prominent throat specialist who arrives to treat him is played by the beautiful Kathryn Harrold aah.
Set in the rich, rarefied world of classical villas and fine hotels, the filmis a feast for the eye as well as the ear. Academy Award winners Frank Schaffner and Fred Koenekamp filmed on location in Italy, New York, Boston and San Francisco. "If We Were In Love," "Left My Heart In San Francisco," "O Sole Mio," and "Ave Maria" are among the songs you will thrill to.
And you'll want to shout "Bravo" when you hear Pavarotti perform arias by Verdi, Donizetti, Ponchielli and the exciting "Nesson Dorma" by Puccini. Giorgio "all but brings the house down!" (Kathleen Carroll, New York Daily News)
