Thats why music conect people because you dont need to understand it because you feel it

He was the best tenor of all time for me. I'm British and I can speak and understand some Italian and I thank god I can understand this. Its a very stunning performance and I shed a tear everytime I watch him sing this. I also found his last live performance and it was at the Olympics in 06 I think. Heartbreaking . I loved your reaction, you looked mesmerised 🥲

The opera Turandot was written in 1924, was the last of Puccini's opera. This aria is a showcase for the tenor voice, which is what Pavarotti was. He is certainly ranked among the greatest tenors of all time, and many would say the greatest, but there are wonderful tenors from the past who are on par, imo. This aria is sung in Italian. If you are interested in exploring some more wonderful arias, have a look at Pavarotti singing Vesti la Guibba. It's amazing. Your reaction is pretty typical for a newbie opera listener. I LOVE opera.

Thank you for the information! I am absolutely curious about opera now. This was genuinely intense and moving

You know you're in on the company of greatness with Luciano. Puccini's aria is seriously goose bump inducing, even in Italian. ☮️

When you heard him in the opera house, he was every bit as stunning without any amplification. Just his voice.

Pavarotti was the Greatest voice of our time.

The greatest tenor ever, the power this man possessed even at this much older age is mind boggling. Check out Lara Fabia “Jes suis malade” another phenomenal performance

Luciano Pavarotti was truly a tenor of the highest level! And this video is the clearest demonstration of it...

Nessun Dorma, is from Puccinis opera Turandot. A classic of the genre, and one of the grand spectacualar operas. This is such a powerful performance of this Aria. He has a wonderful voice, and brought opera to the people, moat opera singers work very hard at their art and do many years of training .( I sing opera in a very small way, chorus only )

I had the privilege of being at a Pavouroti concert in Sydney Australia. It was mind blowing !!!! I couldn't speak for awhile as I was so overwhelmed with emotion. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Wow. Pavarotti. Love his Nessun Dorma. I saw him in concert only once. It was in Oslo in Vigelands Park in the summer, but it rained. We all waited soaking, but no umbrellas allowed. Then an apologetic Pavarotti made a late appearance, sang a couple of songs and made us all feel like opera experts, as he bowed out refusing to sing more in the rain since we all deserved better. We all agreed. Not a sad sound to hear

Thank you for reacting to something completely different! IMO Pavarotti was the greatest tenor of the 20th century. You might be interested to watch some of The Three Tenors when he performed with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras. More lighthearted.

This is a classic. Magnificent voice. Elvis listened to all kinds of music. An English version was written for Elvis. Pavarotti heard it and said this about Elvis “ he can do what I do but I can’t do what he does” very admirable of Pavarotti. Now that I saw you are open to other great singers! Can you do Andrea Bochelli and Josh Groban.

Simply the best. :)

Listening to GREATNESS!

I had the great good fortune and pleasure to see Pavarotti live. He was just incredible! Nice that you still remember him.

This song is from an opera called Turandot which is a beautiful opera and this was my Mum’s favourite song. When she was in hospital passing away I put a playlist of all her favourite songs on shuffle for her even though she was unconscious and as I held her hand and watched her slip away this came on through the speaker from her playlist. Such a beautiful way to go and even though I was devastated I was smiling because that’s how she would’ve loved to go.

I STRONGLY encourage you to NEVER, EVER shut a video off before it actually ends. Just assume that there will be a little bit more that you do not want to miss because most often, there is. Trust the cameraman and the editor of the tape, if it's still going, it's because there is s bit more to see. In this case, Pavarotti turns to the audience and thanks them with love beaming on his face.

He was one of my dad's favorite singers. Dad listened mostly to opera and that was his favorite aria. We just watched your reaction to Home Free's "Man of Constant Sorrow" and two of the singers got together and sang this aria. You need to check out "Two Country Singers Try to Sing Opera". You won't regret it, trust me.

Great reaction! There are many beautiful opera arias by excellent authors such as Verdi, Rossini, Puccini, Mozart and many more. About Pavarotti you could also hear "Bella Figlia Dell'Amore Sutherland and Pavarotti Rigoletto Quartet" and "1993 Pavarotti Verdi La Traviata - Brindisi"

That last line is "I will Win! I will Win!"

Next checkout Vesti La Giubba!!!!

Operas are performed in their original languages, singers have to learn multiple languages. Have to learn how to sing the notes right, just from reading the sheet music, have to learn a lot of roles by heart, to perform correctly without aids. They learn which notes are in their range, and do exercises to try to expand their natural range, up and down. They also have to strengthen their lungs to hold the breath longer, to hold notes longer in performances. I think, I heard, Pavarotti could hold his for 5 minutes. All this hard work takes years, before a role is assigned, to a singer. Princess turandot didn't want to marry anyone, so in anger at him solving all of the 3 challenges set, when he offered to die the next day if anyone could find out his name, she decreed nobody will sleep on pain of death for all around her, if they couldn't find out before morning. I would think even if she did end up marrying him, she'd find a way to end him quickly anyway. Pavarottimet John Farnham aussie tv. He asked how many operas John had beed in? John said none, i'm a rock singer. Pavarotti said Why not? John did do JC in JC superstar. Look up everything's alright, by the whole cast on Hey, Hey, it's Saturday, then Gethsemane on the last night in Sydney. He sang Granada with Anthony Warlow, trained theatre and opera singer in the Main Event Concert. If you haven't seen them yet.

If you're interested in opera, especially the 20th century generation, I recommend Pavarotti's "La Donna e Mobile", Maria Callas's "Vissi D'arte", and Joan Sutherland's "Casta Diva", to start. For more recent performances, Renee Fleming "Moon Song" from Rusalka, Anna Netrebko's "Letter Scene" from Eugene Onegin, Diana Damrau "Glitter and Be Gay" from Candide (considered a musical but still), and Elina Garança's "Habanera" from Carmen. These are my favorite performances of these songs.

Absolutely bencark performance.

Many Italian operas have unhappy endings, but not this one! The hero gains the hand of the Princess, having declared Vincero vincero (I will win!). The full opera is available on You Tube.

You're not out of time if you experienced something emotionally. And when you have a master singing it's hard not to.

Ciao A tip... listen to "Caruso" by Lucio Dalla sung by him. Then listen to it sung by Lucio Dalla. And you end up with them singing it together.... It's worth it 👍👏👋

Ukraine schuld probably blast the whole frontline whith luciano Pavarotti songs. They move eveybody after this no one would have the will to fight and die. But enjoying live and art.

Italian......."Vincero" = "I will win!"......all the great ( and near great ) operatic vocalists, male and female, have sung Puccini's aria..."Pav's" ( R.I.P. ) performance is considered the gold standard......Nessun Dorma = "no one is sleeping".....

All music is the language of all of humanity. It is self-defeating to close yourself in and not enjoy it all, or at least make a decision about what YOU like and don't like. I was never at a Pavarotti concert or opera, however, somewhere in my years, I began to respect the control and PRESENCE it took to perform these. I'm no longer afraid to walk around in the woods in bare feet (so to speak). The same piece was done by Sarah Brightman (soprano) in her "Harem" concert ... not an opera, just a concert. The room seemed to lift off the floor. I was at that concert in S. Florida. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m5xpqMqTpqe_nM4.html This performance by Pavarotti was intense and soul stirring. You can see the determination "to win".

Its Italian! Of course.

Watch his performance in 1994.....it's even better!!!!

The story...three Princes vie for the hand of Princess Turandot. The catch is they have to solve 3 riddles and if they fail...they get executed. The Princes are fine, honorable men...and the Princess is a cold seemingly heartless woman. After the second Prince fails the people beg her not to have him executed..but she has him beheaded anyway. Then Calaf (the Pavarotti character) tries...and solves all the riddles. The Princess tries to back out, but Calaf is in love. He gives her an out...if she can learn his name by dawn he will willingly allow her to execute him. The Princess learns a servant girl knows his name...she has the girl tortured, but the girl so admires Calaf she commits suicide rather than give up the name. Calaf does berate the Princess...he refers to her as "The Princess of Death." But he still attempts to woo her. She resists but eventually is coming around. She softens and tells, begs him to give up his suit and leave with his life. He refuses...and he TELLS her his name to prove his love. He sings this song knowing if she does not love him, she only has to say his name in the morning and he will die...but he's willing. That's the ending of the song when he repeats "I will win" three times. Dawn comes, the Princess is there to say his name. But instead of saying Calaf...she say's his name is Love. And they marry. (Personally, I would have run like hell.) Puccini didn't actually finish the opera. He had the first two acts done but only got to the point where the servant girl commits suicide. He had 23 sheets of notes, but was dying of pancreatic cancer and knew he couldn't finish. He had a heart attack in 1924 and supposedly his last words were "don't let my Turandot die." The end of the opera was completed by Franco Alfano. The opera was first performed about a year and a half after Puccini's death in April, 1926.
