Forever an icon

Luciano Pavarotti was, and still is, a musical and cultural icon. His voice has united people from all over the world and inspired millions,” said Gianluca Chakra, CEO of Front Row Filmed Entertainment, the company responsible for distribution in the MENA region. 

In an interview with ArabNews, Ron Howard said of the tenor’s impact on those around him: “Whether the people we interviewed had personal or professional relationships with him, the scales tilted tremendously to the positive. It kept coming back to how much joy and love there was and how much respect they had for him and his spirit.
