Director Ron Howard did not know much about opera, but he understands drama when he sees it, and Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti's life was packed with it.
So when it came to making a documentary about the late, beloved "king of the high C's," Howard decided to tell Pavarotti's story largely through some of his most famous arias.
"I didn't know very much about opera," said Howard. "I love throwing myself into subjects where I have a fascination and a real curiosity."
