    Pavarotti in this performance was 57 years old. His vocally prime was in the 1970s -80s, But even in his latest years he sang beautifully.

    The story is of a clown who has learned his wife is unfaithful and must continue to put on a show even though he is tortured inside. His most powerful line “Ridi paglioccio!!” Means “laugh clown! You must laugh!” As if to console himself

    I am not an opera singer, but I am a symphony chorus singer and I'd like to give some perspective that few people outside of singers understand about the dying art today. An opera is meant to be an event where the most refined artists of every kind - painters, actors, sculptors, orchestral musicians, and even singers meet in one place. From a production standpoint, each single performance requires a minimum of 300 players, artists, and technical support people to do this as a one-chance moonshot. What the general public has grown unaware about the art is that the golden age of opera began its decline with the invention and usage of electric amplification. Each singer in a real opera production is singing (at least largely) without the aid of any amplification whatsoever. They must be able to be heard above timpani drums and horn sections at all times. Operas usually run 3-5 hours with each principal character having to carry about 45 minutes of this kind of singing themselves. Yes, unlike a concert, an opera is a play complete with lines and movement instructions. Opera singers are the Olympic athletes of singing, and Luciano Pavarotti is the greatest ever captured by sound equipment.

      @@desperateambrose5373 Placido Domingo was a far better actor, but was not the same type of tenor. Where Luciano excelled was his ability to 'act' with his voice even when he was pretty much stationary. His voice and his facial expression were what 'acted' effectively. He felt every word he was singing and therefore conveyed that. He was never going to be acting in the sense of a physical performance even in his younger days. I would argue that he was convincing in his roles rather than a good actor.

    An Opera is a play that is sung. So here, he is acting a part in a story. Nessun Dorma is also an aria from a play, but he was giving a performance of the song, and not acting in the opera.

    Somebody who speaks Italian as a learned language (lived in Italy) and learned even Latin at school and anyway as a European having learned other European languages at the basic level, I cannot imagine watching opera without the lyrics. The heart-wrenching quality comes from understanding tone and lyrics. Although, I was an opera lover in my teens, before I had mastered either of those skills... Still, subtitles, man, one has to have subtitles in opera...

    The carnival clown who has learned his wife is unfaithful, but he must laugh for the audience though he is crying inside. I just heard of and listened to , Jussi Bjorling, a Swedish tenor, now also deceased, who, supposedly , Pavarotti thought was on another level. Check out him singing Nessun Dorma. For another emotional powerhouse tenor, David Phelps, singing O Holy Night.

      Pavarotti holds Enrico Caruso to the highest praise, "I think Caruso for the singer means the base of the building. Doesn't matter how tall is the building, how heavy is going to be the building. On the basement of Caruso it will always rest. Because he's essential. Because vocally he is enormous and he is very, very close to the truth in expression."
      I recommend checking him out if you enjoyed Bjorling and Pavarotti as well

    Love to see your reaction. When I started to hear Pavarotti in 1990 I never was interested in Opera before. He changed it. Mostly I hear him singing arias - less whole operas (always waiting on his part 😄). Opera fans would say that his best time was in the 70th and 80th. His voice was clear and bright without efforts at high notes. I like a bit more his voice in the late 80th and early 90th when the sound had more volume and was a bit darker with much expression - full of his life. If you want to know more about his perfect technique watch for example his master class video. Here a short clip about covered sound: ruclips.net/video/uo6dDQiBGyI/видео.html Beside the technique the meaning of the words was important for him.

    It's true, Pavarotti died 2007 because of pancreatic cancer. No one can be like him. But if you want to see a concert or opera live today, look if you find a perfomance for example with Juan Diego Florez. He is not similar to him. No one has his unique timbre and volume. Florez is a light tenor with another repertoire. He is known for his high notes.
