He sang the role of Rodolfo in ( La bohГЁme) in the first Live From The Met telecast in March of 1977, which attracted one of the largest audiences ever for a televised opera. They applauded so much that he had 17 curtain calls. The audience were amazed when he sang nine high Cs. In 1972, he sang in a production of La fille du rГ©giment by Donizetti at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Pavarotti learned many more operatic roles and sang all over the world. It was his performances of this role that made people call him the 'King of the High Cs' (The note C above Middle C is a very high note for a tenor to sing). His first appearance as Tonio in Donizetti's La fille du rГ©giment took place at Covent Garden on June 2 of that year. He was singing in the famous Franco Zeffirelli production of La BohГЁme, with Mirella Freni singing Mimi and Herbert von Karajan conducting. In 1965 he sang at La Scala, probably the most famous of all opera houses. He sang in the United States with Joan Sutherland. Soon he was singing in: the Vienna State Opera. Pavarotti made his opera dГ©but in the role of Rodolfo in La bohГЁme by Puccini on Apin the town of Reggio Emilia. Then he had problems with his throat and stopped singing for a short time, and, surprisingly, this helped his voice to become really good. For several years he just gave a few recitals without being paid for them. Pavarotti had to earn money, so he became a teacher, and then an insurance salesman. Pavarotti began singing lessons seriously in 1954 at the age of 19. His father said he would continue to support him, but once he was 30 years old he would have to earn money to support himself.
