I'd live in a country even on a string budget. Why? Because I want to understand how a society functions. Luxury is a bore intellectually, as viewing things afar that superficial experiences really are. I've lived in three foreign countries, sometimes half poor. I know what I think about this.
Like when you live in Italy, where Pavarotti is from. There are not even the structures to live a life in the US or elsewhere. It's a system designed for a totally different life. Only when you talk to the people will you understand why.

What's so impressive beyond his performance is the very end when he hits his final astonishing note & then takes it even higher with clarity that is supernatural.
Luciano is in the zone. Possessed by the hand of God. Look at his eyes just before he closes them & then his mouth. He isn't with us at that moment. He's within the music.

@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee - Eric -- he performed enough times live throughout his career with famous singers, conductors & orchestra musicians to confirm that he could sing live.
If he resorted to some technical assistance later in life, especially when he was ill, so be it. It wouldn't be the first time someone was "helped" to get through a performance.
He certainly never needed autotune hocus-pocus like so many so-called "divas" rely on today.
And the opera audience? If you fake it with them your career goes into the toilet real fast. You know what I mean.

[@lastrada52]

@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee - You are right about that, eric. But, after all, the human voice is human. It can fail you. Artists do have bad nights.
It's the people sitting in the audience who never understand how hard it is to do what Luciano did.
They expect to hear him as perfect as the recording. Maybe that's where they should be -- at home listening to the CD.
I try to be forgiving when it comes to a live performance, except when it's blatantly shit because the singer was drunk or unprepared.
For all we know Luciano may have been ill, had a cold, sore throat, and ate cold macaroni. I have heard lesser singers sing flat, especially people like Robert Plant.
That performance of opera by Aretha Franklin more than a decade ago when Luciano took ill & didn't perform was barely passable. And Aretha is a great singer -- but she's no opera singer.

[@lastrada52]

​@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee- I do understand when Aretha was asked to do this she was visibly nervous. Amazing when a performer at that level gets butterflies. But, she knew she was not in her comfort zone but probably wanted the challenge.
I give her credit for being brave enough to step forward & do something she wasn't really prepared for. But she's a pro. Most opera aficionados of course appreciated her effort but it wasn't without criticism. That's probably what Aretha didn't want to face. I don't blame her.
Vince Gill faced the same situation live & talked about it when he was asked to perform a Beach Boys song -- "Surf's Up."
Gill admitted that he thought the song would be one of their simple beach songs but "Surf's Up," he said was an incredibly difficult song to sing. He was surprised. But Gill pulled it off just like Aretha had.
Audiences have to realize that singing songs not part of your repertoire is not an easy thing to do. Look how many great singers have covered Elvis songs only to go down in flames.

But the opera buffs are not as forgiving as rock, folk, country & blues audiences. (I left jazz & classical out because they can be pretty strict & constipated as well).
Yes, I was aware she sang it 2 days before because they must have had hints that Pavarotti would cancel. That was a wise alternate choice by the producers.

Opera combines all of the arts, drama, acting, singing, dancing, costumes, set design, and comedy. The conductor is Zubin Mehta, who on a snowy wintery night, when his flight was cancelled, my dad, a NYC taxi driver, brought him home for dinner. He whispered to me that my father knew more about music, than many of the professionals Zubin has worked with. This made me proud. My dad came from Poland, and was raised in a home full of culture and music, especially Classical.

Orchestral musician here. Enjoyed your vid!
To answer your question about the orchestra - the *Conductor* is the baton-wielding bloke on the podium (in this concert, the veteran Maestro Zubin Mehta, who generally helmed these “Three Tenors” events).
And yes, as the central musician who basically “plays” the orchestra, much as we play our instruments, the Conductor’s job is to lead, convince, and compel the ensemble to play the piece as the composer intended it, as the Conductor interprets it in their head, and as the other collaborators (like Pavarotti here) would like it, as well.
Mr Mehta knew Pavarotti very well by this point, so they worked together as freely and easily as Jazz musicians, and you can certainly feel the electric results.
Enjoy your musical travels!

[@jonnoring7225]

It's my belief that in every genre of music there are songs/performances which transcend the genre itself, and this is one of them. Even those who do not normally (or ever) listen to classical vocal music will be moved by this performance -- it is beyond amazing!
Of course, there are other vocal performances of the past which similarly transcend their genre and touch our hearts at a deep level. For example, there is "Hurt" by Johnny Cash, "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed (official music video), and maybe one of the most amazing pop musical performance is "Unchained Melody" by Bobby Hatfield (specifically the "Righteous Brothers" live performance on the 1965 Andy Williams show -- Bobby is wearing a salmon colored jacket). These recommendations are not new to the reaction video community -- they are probably the most reacted-to videos on RUclips. Another "sleeper" for the emotional impact of the singer and lyrics is "The Story" by Brandi Carlile (official video).
And another amazing song for its emotional impact is "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche.
I hope you can eventually cover the ones mentioned above if you haven't already, and thank you again for reacting and analyzing this out-of-this world performance by Pavarotti.

[@mzytryck]

What always blows me away about Pavarotti is how anyone can tell, just from the first note, how brilliant his voice is.
Every single reaction video I've seen (and I'm slightly addicted to them) has had that "whoa" from the second he opens his mouth. Something about the power, beauty and control he will go on to show throughout the song is audible immediately, even if (like me) your ear is totally untrained. For him to start from such a high point, and then just keep escalating, is truly astonishing.

You just discovered One of the Master pieces of all time!

[@capiche7396]

Listen to Pavarotti''s " Una Furtiva Lagrima".

[@rodgerbelveal6684]

I agree! Spectacular isn't a big enough word to describe his performance. His expressions are absolutely stunning!

[@lioninwinter9316]

Kind of surprised you've never heard of him.

[@meghanmacqueen5157]

Me too! I'm almost 50 and grew up listening to Pavarotti; it never would have occurred to me to recommend him, because I always assume everyone knows who he is. It's a different world now....

[@michellewestlake6766]

me too. not sure i believe her.

[@meghanmacqueen5157]

@@michellewestlake6766 I just watched another reactor--a Brit who supposedly has a start-up record producing company--watch Pink Floyd for the first time the other day. And another young guy who watched Queen for the first time. They were like, "wow, these guys are good!" LOL. It's all music I grew up knowing and thinking was like, super important, so it's very odd to watch younger generations who are involved in music themselves who haven't heard it. Then again, I'm pretty out of touch with what the "kids" are listening to these days, so I guess I shouldn't talk....I'd be considered a major stick in the mud.

[@lindabishop6572]

Seriously girl, if you've never heard this, you need to broaden your musical horizons. Quite possibly the greatest of all time.

[@rziaco]

Every time and everywhere from any device and channel, Pavarotti makes the world smell like hope, like spring, like home. He was the highest and he was among us, his people... He was the people! He was and he is, and he always will be Italia.

[@talyar04]

Attend the opera someday. You seem like you’d really enjoy it.

[@johnnybeer3770]

Sadly you kept breaking the spell of the song . Listen to the whole song and comment after .🇬🇧

[@n0wi153]

He was the best. A Legend forever. Great Reaction

[@MarkM58]

You just listened to what was, arguably, the greatest performance of all time. Pavarotti was the GOAT. If your eyes didn't water and the hair stand up on the back of your neck and arms, you have no soul.

[@philipkudrna5643]

If you want to experience more opera that leaves you speechless: aria of the queen of the night of Mozart‘s Zauberflöte (The magic Flute)

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Nice choice. Also the Flower duet (Delibes) or Dvorak's "Song to the Moon".

[@baumi-metal9123]

Poor people who don't get emotional when he sings. Nuff said!

[@gildavis8266]

LUCIANO PAVAROTTI was one of the greatest tenors of the 20th, and early 21st. century. The things about opera to understand is that it is an intersection of talent. Some of the greatest composers in history created the music while some of the best musicians of their time played it and singers performed it for the public.
This is where entertainment for mass consumption began because it combined the elements of theater, acting and music in one dynamic package long before technology brought us recordings and film. It is still popular today because it tells a story in a very personal, human way.
If you enjoyed this you might want to sample other operas as well. A fun way to get your feet wet would be listening to one of the performances of the three tenors, which were put on by Pavarotti, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras did in the 1990's. They were amazing concerts!

[@barryfrazer4304]

THE Maestro never sang better than this. Divine!

[@tarekmattiello]

Advice: NEVER STOP THE VIDEO. NEVER. You speak when he is not singing anymore

[@davidian7787]

I usually only make it to the ,"No, no" bit before I start with the tears and my nose is running. Pavarotti was only called away because God wanted his voice back.

[@darrenwilson8042]

I am moved to tears every time I hear this - God bless Luciano. R.I.P.

[@skyjuke2006]

God kissed my vocal chords, said Master Luciano Pavarotti.
There are Mozart in Classical Music, Tesla and Leonardo da Vinci as inventors, Einstein in Physics, Maradona as Football player, MJ as Basketball player etc and there is One Big Luciano Pavarotti as Lyric singer! ❤️
