3. Luciano Pavarotti – Italian Tenor in Berlin
Applause duration: 67 minutes
As is standing ovation to a stadium, so is a curtain call to a theater – what makes the King Of High Cs one heck of a performer, thanks to an unbelievable 165 curtain calls received and 67 minutes of non-stop applause. The audience at the Deutsche Oper Berlin was overwhelmed with his performance of the Donizetti’s opera ‘L’elisir d’amore’. 28 years have passed since that memorable February night, and up to this day there is only one man who beat this incredible opera record, and he is next on our list of 6 longest applauses of all time.
