Opera performers aren't just singers. They are actors. Getting you to feel the story they are telling is what they do.

For anyone wondering about the bit at the end where he looks stuck, that's actually what happened. When Tenors hit a power note, it's difficult for us to let go of the power. Something in the chest doesn't want the resonance to end and tries to hold on. I've experienced it a couple of times, it's like you're wielding a ball of fire. That's why the tenor is always the hero

It's similar for sopranos. Different than the "o" but your whole body, down to your toes, resonates with those high frequencies and the volume and it's sublime. My very gentlemanly elderly vocal coach, a tenor, once asked very delicately what the high notes feel like for a soprano. He'd always wanted to know but didn't want to offend anyone by asking. I was the only one he dared ask and he approached the subject very carefully. My answer was they're very different sensations but I'd be hard-pressed to choose. He nodded thoughtfully and murmured, "I thought so. I thought so."

The 1st time that I met him I was 14. Right after rehearsal we went and got Haagen Dazs ice cream--hahaha!! He wanted to "soothe" his throat. I was in a Boy Choir at the time and asked him about the ice cream. He said," HOT before singing and COLD after singing. Always. Got it? Good Boy. " I will never forget that exchange--hahaha. He was so cool and casual. He loved my grandmother (who just passed on November 18th 2023 at age 89). To me, he was a kind man first & THEN the greatest operatic 2nd Tenor EVER!

He was known as the 'King of High C'. In one concert he held that final note for 18 seconds. The opera is Turandot.

The piece is hundred years old (premiered in 1924). Puccini's Turandot, from which "Nessun dorma" is taken, is one of the latest great Italian operas, a classical genre who has it roots in early 17Th century. The power in Pavarotti's voice in his prime was simply otherworldly.

💗 -this is my absolute favorite singer singing the song that him the best ever.

That is a GoAT delivering THE GoAT performance and he realized it and the audience knew they had just witnessed HISTORY. AND, . . . the princess is going to kill her servants (the chorus) if they do not discover the suitor's identity by sunrise. If his identity is not discovered, the princess has to marry him. And that is High Opera, there will be a body count. The word you were looking for is Conductor. They are the person leading the musicians. The Composer is the one that writes the music.

There is not one singer like Pavarotti. He is the greatest tenor of all time. It's not just his vocal skill, it's his delivery and his stage presence. When he walks onto a stage, every woman in the audience pays close attention to his every move and every note. He is totally captivating. It's hard to describe unless you have been in the same room as an opera singer. The volume they sing at hits you in the chest like a punch. It's an overwhelming and powerful feeling to hear that live. I experienced it once and I'll never forget it.

I love Pavarotti ❤ when I hear him sing his voice seems to describe what a good man is Strong and Gentle at the same time. Beautiful, a voice that moves me to tears.

Opera is a genre for all people, whether or not they realize it. You are 100% right that the emotions come through the music and you can feel the meaning, even without knowing the language.

Thank you for this. What I appreciated about Pavarotti was, although he was blessed with a beautiful singing voice, he did not hide the fact that to sustain these notes properly and get the right tone, and a whole lot of descriptive musical words that I don't understand, you have to be dedicated and train for years. And as you say, he always left it all on the stage. There are other tenors with beautiful voices, but he also had the passion which was just undeniable. Good morning! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

I am no opera fan but you cannot help but be moved by his voice and watching you was how I was feeling. We are watching one of the greats.

Amazing performance! The O face omg 🤣 stop it!

Opera always makes me cry, it has so much emotion.

I was blest enough to share the stage twice with Luciano Pavarotti, once in 1996 at the grand opening of the Detroit Opera House and again 5-6 years later performing a concert version of the opera Aida, also at the Detroit Opera House. The two biggest highlights of my 26 year career as a semi-professional musician.

The title "Nessum Dorma" literally translates to "LET NO ONE SLEEP". It first premiered in 1926, two years after the original playwrite (Giacomo Puccini) died in 1924. As you probably know, Operas are all about the story itself: In TURANDOT, the story takes place in China and follows the Prince Calaf, who falls in love with the cold Princess Turandot. In order to win her hand in marriage, a suitor must solve three riddles, with a wrong answer resulting in his execution. Calaf passes the test, but Turandot refuses to marry him. He offers her a way out: if she is able to guess his name before dawn the next day, he will accept death.

My favourite!

Luciano is one of my favorite opera singers. He has such an amazing voice.

No one can sing it like him in my opinion. This is his song in my heart. I saw him in concert once and will never EVER forget his first note. He was much older but still incredible. I think I was in the 29th row and it was spellbinding.

This Aria is from the Opera Turandot by Giacomo Puccini. Written in 1924.

Have you reacted to the Pavarotti and James Brown duet “man’s world”?? It’s a must
