For nearly half a century, Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti (1935-2007) enthralled audiences around the world with his extraordinary performances and his exceptional vocal tone, making him opera’s first global superstar. Beyond his musical virtuosity on stage, he was also celebrated for his unique extravagances now captured in the design of the Montblanc Patron of Art Luciano Pavarotti Limited Edition, a writing tribute to the great opera icon. While his legendary performance of the aria “Nessun dorma” from Puccini’s opera “Turandot” made opera accessible to broader audiences, Pavarotti proved he was a dedicated humanitarian, bringing together the world’s best musicians across all genres for his “Pavarotti & Friends” concerts to raise millions of dollars for vocational and educational projects. Away from the limelight of world stages, Pavarotti also displayed the qualities of a true patron of the arts, dedicating much of his time to nurturing young up-and-coming singers with free private singing lessons. Every detail of the Montblanc Patron of Art Luciano Pavarotti Limited Edition created by Montblanc master craftsmen using the finest materials and applying the utmost precision, celebrates this great performer’s colourful personality and relentless commitment to arts and culture. Limited Edition 4810 – Homage To A Tenor With Extraordinary Style The black lacquered barrel and white lacquer cap of the Limited Edition 4810 represent the black tuxedo Pavarotti wore with a white bow tie and white shirt for most of his concerts on stage.
