Tenor - My Name is Pati

AroView: The truly extraordinary story of Pene Pati, a humble Samoan-born Aucklander who, along with his brother Amitai, topped the charts in Aotearoa as two thirds of Sol3 Mio before finding fairytale success in the rarified world of international opera.

It tells not just of the glories but of the sacrifice and anxiety that comes with the highest performance expectations, culminating in a documentary finale to take your breath away. You don’t have to be an opera lover to be delighted and moved, but you will come away with greater appreciation of the art form. Bravo to film-maker Rebecca Tansley for something special. ★★★★★
