The LA philharmonic orchestra and chorus and Zubie were there. Pavarotti was the star of the show. It was the Three Tenors Concert before every World Cup . Placido Domingo , and Jose Carreras.

Hi. V here. In the early '90s as an African-American kid growing up in the inner city of St. Louis, MO I was a music fiend. I played trumpet in high school, honors music, jazz band and drum corps. I slept, drank, ate and woke up with music. Now, secretly I was in love with opera and I was in love with the master Luciano Pavarotti. I have the original PBS VHS tape of the first Three Tenors concern with conductor Zubin Mehta. You made a mistake when played this version. You need to REACT to the ORIGINAL CONCERT VERSION. This one was okay, but that's after 3 years of wear and tear on a world class throat from master classes and concerts and operas!! And he had been singing long before that. Fun fact: Pavarotti and me were both janitors before!!! Anyway, take it from me Ms. Lovely that you want to hear the first Three Tenors version. And next time don't bail out! Watch him and his eyes, posture and mouth. They speak one language: Perfection!

The delivery of that final 'Vincero' is done with such force because the character is showing pure determination. 'Vincero' translates to 'I will win'. If you learn the story, the words, and learn what he's saying - why he's saying it - you'll feel this even more.

So true!

Best tenor ever.. .his voice is a human miracle, able to create so much musical beauty.

Pavarotti was easily the greatest Tenor to ever live. There have been endless studies, theories, and experiments to try to figure out just what it was about him that made him so unbelievable. It's almost as though he were built by God SPECIFICALLY so that he could give this to mankind. I'm also a tenor (obviously nowhere NEAR Pavarotti) and every time I hear his voice it's like the rest of the world just melts away. His tone, his vibrato, the ease with which he can do almost anything he wants to with his voice...it's magical. So, SO glad to see younger folks such as yourself discovering and appreciating "the great one."

This is why i love Italy so much. The best singing performance you will ever experience. The man is a true legend

The aria is from the Opera Tarundot by Italian composer Puccini. The opera is based on the story set in China about a beautiful BUT cold Princess Tarundot, daughter of Emperor Altoum, who has decreed that she will only marry if a suitor of noble blood can answer her 3 riddles! The catch is that there is a price to pay - if the suitor cannot answer all the 3 riddles correctly he will lose his head - beheaded! Then comes along this Persian Prince Calaf who falls in love with Princess Tarundot at first sight and wants to marry her. Calaf is one of three suitors for the picky Princess Turandot. Calaf passes the test by answering the 3 riddles correctly and wins Princess Tarundot hand in marriage but she refuses to marry him! As a weird sort of challenge, Calaf offers the Princess a way out that if Turandot can correctly guess his name, she may execute him but if she can’t, then she must marry him! The Princess accepts the challenge and decides that ‘Nobody to sleep’ (the literal translation of ‘Nessun dorma’) in the entire kingdom until Calaf’s name is discovered. If none of her subjects are able to come up with the correct name, all of them will be executed. The aria begins with Turandot’s proclamation that ‘Nobody to sleep’, and that’s where the tenor, Calaf, picks it up. The aria "Nessum Dorma" is sung in the third and final act as the sun is about to rise. The words "Nessum Dorma" means in latin 'nobody to sleep' and is a song that is sung by Calaf as he faces the possibility of death but in hope that he will win this challenge as his secret is with him! The last words of the aria is ...."All’alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!"... which means ...."at dawn I will win, I will win, I will win!".... I saw Pavarotti in concert in 1991 and he sang this aria - he literally woos you!

Not just a beautiful voice, but also one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed.

A voice that made him the greatest, most immense, immeasurable, good in nature and character gave an example of behavior and professionalism that had no equal. Great Luciano, those who don't know you call you Pavarotti but for us you are Luciano. The greatest voice. Thanks for existing.

When you sing with your soul, everyone can understand you regardless of language and your origin🌎🚀 🌠💫 ♥ ️

Welcome to the magical voice of the Maestro. Arguably, and in my opinion, the greatest tenor who ever lived.

Written in 1917 by Puccini, the opera “Turandot”, includes the aria “Nessun Dorma”. It is based on a 12th century poem. The opera is about a Chinese Princess and her ardent suitors. Look it up to get the plot and get the English translation to the aria. No one can compare to Pavarotti in this classic opera…..leaves me in tears every time, especially now that Pavarotti has passed on. 😢❤

You don't have to understand music to appreciate what great music is just from listening to it.

A bit more detail will help with your journey. "Nessun Dorma" is an Aria from an Opera called "Tarandot" written by the great Giacomo Puccini (22 December 1858 - 29 November 1924). If you expose yourself to the full Opera you learn how/why this amazing Aria is so powerful (especially sung by the great Luciano Pavarotti. Enjoy your unique journey ;-)

this song, maybe because I am a full-blooded Italian, always overwhelms my soul, and tears overflow fast! My whole body tremors from the emotions !!! Bravo! Benissimo!!!!!

how his voice opens up just before he goes into the last note is phenomenal.

Throwing your hands in the air when he hits that last 'vincero' is a totally appropriate reaction to this wonderful piece of music.

I watch this again every time it pops up in my feed just to enjoy your joyous reaction. :D

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, oh Principessa Nella tua fredda stanza Guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore E di speranza Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me Il nome mio nessun saprà No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò Quando la luce splenderà Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio Che ti fa mia Dilegua, oh notte Tramontate, stelle Tramontate, stelle All'alba vincerò Vincerò Vincerò ‐---‐------------------------------------- No sleep! No sleep! You too, oh Princess In your cold room You look at the stars that tremble with love And of hope But my mystery is closed in me My name no one will know No, no, on your lips I will say it When the light will shine And my kiss will dissolve the silence That makes you mine Go away, oh night Go down, stars Go down, stars I'll win at dawn I will win I will win

The first time I heard this song, it was at the 1990 World Cup Finals in Italy. Only the Italians can take Opera and turn it a work of art/masterpiece. If this doesn't make you shed a tear, I don't know what would. I'm a man in my late 30s, and this song brings a tear to my eyes. Now I see why the Italians are so passionate and they gesticulate.

The greatest Tenor that ever lived!

Pavarotti is the best of all time. He is powerfull lyric tenor. Mario Lanza is poor (fake) dramatic tenor. Wunderlich is normal (ordinary) tenor.

Yes, Pavarotti was great, but even he knew and acknowledged that he came in second in comparison to Jussi Bjorling. When asked to compare himself to Bjorling, Pavarotti replied: "How can I do that, I am only a man".

No telling how many times I've heard this performance. Every single time, it touches me.

One of the most beautiful songs ever reacted to by one of the most beautiful women ever. Love it. Love you. Miss you. ♡♡♡

His face in the last note as he saw God himself! ❤

I listened to this before every law school final and the bar exam. This will transport you to a world where all is right.

there is a version from his younger days where he holds that final note for an eternity

Luciano and this aria hit number one on the popular charts in Europe in the 80's. That's how good this really is.

When Pavarotti sings, no one should interrupt. Isn't he glorious?

to this day..years after his passing..i still cry to this...he was one if not the best....the world lost a great voice...but as long as his music exists and is heard by future generations...he will never be gone

I was 12 the first time I heard this on the bbc World Cup 1990 coverage,it literally stunned me to silence..I remember asking my dad what it was…never felt anything like it…I’m 45 now,and it still reminds me of that summer when I discovered the beauty and pure emotion and depth of opera. 12 year old me is always with me.

I was 11. Half Italian living in the UK. My Italian gran died that year and we also opened an Italian restaurant. The first world cup I remember following (obviously supporting Gli Azzurri) and I got the cassette of the 3 tenors as a present. Played that tape to death and sang along as best I could. Still love it at 44. I feel the Italianness and everything I love about the country, its culture, history and music. RIP luciano. Il migliore in assoluto! ❤

I have exactly the same recollection, and also of Freddie Mercury and Monserrat Caballé belting out Barcelona at the Barcelona '92 games of the 25th Olympiad. I still get goosebumps remembering the flaming arrow fired from the stadium floor to ignite the cauldron. It is, without a shadow of doubt, the greatest and most dramatic moment in olympic history

For me as an English football fan,soccer, I see this as the international anthem of the beautiful game.

Pavarotti didn’t need autotune. Autotune needed Pavarotti.

I saw him live at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York a few times. His voice was so powerful that you could feel the sound waves hitting your chest. They don't use microphones or amplification at the Met. He had a once every hundred years voice.

It's not necessarily understanding the Italian, it's the feeling it expresses.

I worked for the Michigan Opera Theatre back in the mid-80's. The company sponsored his performances when he would perform in Detroit at the Fisher Theater allowing my co-workers and I occasions to hang out with him when he would visit the offices between show rehearsals. This man is one of the coolest cats around. He was a big, jolly, larger than life, teddy bear who was always making everyone laugh and you certainly knew he was in the office even before you saw him. His personality was such that I guarantee he was always the life of the party wherever he went. One of the perks working for the company was the free use of unsold seating. During one of his performances, I got to sit main floor, center stage, 6th row back. A dream seat, for sure. While hearing him do his thing, my opinion was that you didn't even need to be an opera buff to know this man was a god in the world of musical arts. He gave his audience 1000%, but made it look so easy. One of the peculiarities of his performances was that a narrator would announce the song, Luciano would come onstage, absolutely kill it, then he would disappear offstage for about 10-15 minutes while the orchestra played. This would happen about 5 times before he concluded the performance. I now know he was just protecting his voice, but at the time I was like "Wait, is it over already"?🤔 Even though I only got to interact with him about 3 times, I was greatly saddened by his death, as were many others.

I watched a movie of his life story. At the end of his life his daughter visited him when he was in bed dyeing. She plaid a recording of him singing. He said " That sounds really good." He had never heard his own voice until then.

Puccini's masterpiece plus Pavarotti voice is the meaning of life explained through sound waves.. and if you understand the lyric as well the goose bumps will make you cry. Nice reaction, I like this woman! Ciao ciao Bella!

Truly no better voice on this planet. I witnessed his greatness a few years before his death at what was the American Airlines Center in Dallas Texas in the early 2000s. I just can’t get over how special he is. The man was a gift from heaven.

nobody will ever sing this better than Luciano Pavarotti

Live Grand Opera is one of the Great Human Achievements. It takes hundreds of Talented Artists, Carpenters, Clothing Designers, Musicians, and Singers, a Great Conductor to Control it all, and a Composer who can touch People's Hearts down through the Centuries!

Voz poderosa, presença de palco. Um ícone da música.

You can hear this Song for many time and fill the same emotion.

My daddy loved a lot of different music but he loved to put an Luciano Pavarotti and listen to him not knowing what was being said.now after my daddy died in 93 I still listen to him ❤️

Il Maestro always had the power to move people to tears with that wonderful tenor voice.

It's pure love from Heaven we are all so blessed to hear this angelic voice

when i talk about politics i speak french, when i talk about love i speak Spanish but when i talk to god i speak Italian. its truly one of the most beautiful languages. wonderful reacion.

Mindblowing.the greatest piece of music ever performed in history by the greatest tenor that ever lived

Such a shame that he is no longer with us, he had a voice that sold seats years ahead of times

It was in a movie, when he was a young man. He sings it to a woman who walks out on him and he sings it a second time with tears running down his face, and he holds that last note for what seems like an impossible time, but it is real. It is amazing. Just KZread search The Best Nesun Dorma Pavarotti. You will see his young face in the thumbnail. You will appreciate the song more if you google English translation of Nessun Dorma lyrics.

My Mom was an Opera singer in Holland, until the War took her carreer away. She pounded Opera/Big Band into me...and I thank her so much for that. I've seen Luciano twice here in Toronto. I just love watching your joy during this...your personality, and beauty is Amazing! Will you Marry me?

This was used as the anthem for the World Cup in Italy 1990 and it went to number 1 in the charts here in the uk , the concert you see there is from the World Cup concert of 1990

Pavarotti is fantastic but I think people need to hear the great voices from the past. My 2 personal choices would be Bjorling and Corelli singing this aria.

This is probably the definitive tenor aria, much like Oh Mia Babino Cara is for a soprano. Puccini was a master of the heart-wrenching aria.

Caro not Cara.

First time I ever cried from music was watching Luciano on Johnny Carson on a tube TV. Not sure what he was singing, but he was holding one of those high notes and as he was holding it it was like something opened up deep in his chest and another separate note pushed up and out and pierced the first note and there was this harmonious chord that hit me in the face and water just started pouring out of my eyes. It happened again during a live Eminem Grammy performance. Another was Beyonce's super bowl Star Spangle Banner rendition (still the best IMO). When she finished, she shook her head as if to shake herself out of a trance. And many Zeppelin songs when I have the volume up and I'm feelin' it by myself. They're still the GOAT. One more thing about Luciano...he really couldn't sing very well as a young man, according to a documentary I saw about him. He got training and obviously worked hard and became the GOAT of the opera world.
