I saw him in Hollywood Bowl when I was in the military free seats down front. I never heard anything like it before or since. a life-changing experience I'll never forget as long as I live. I actually cried. rest in peace Luciano
I can not find the word or words to discribe the emotional feeling I get when I hear this man sing this opera. My emotions are drained and how envious I am of those who were able to see and hear this great genius of music. I never tire of listening to him sing.
For me Pavarotti was always the best and most favorite Tenors of all times and times to come. Doubt if any new Tenor will have such voice as Luciano Pavarotti. Dady from Switzerland
J’ai écouté cette aria j’avais 13 ans j’en ai 60 aucun air d’opéra ne me procure une émotion aussi intense une explosion dans les notes et une tenue de la note finale jamais égalée il n’y aura jamais un autre ténor de ce niveau . Repose en paix parmis les dieux Lucciano et merci encore Nessum Dorma a été écrite pour toi par le maître PUCCINI.
Me gusta el sostenido en la segunda interpretación, es la versión de nessun dorma que mas me gusta, es una de mis arias favoritas junto con la de radamés en aida. Verdi es de mis compositores favoritos, y pavarotti es mi tenor lirico favorito, su voz te hace estremecer, percibes la impotencia de calaf... simplemente maravilloso.
Fantastico!!!!!sosotiene esa nota hasta el infinito, con un color unico, ningun tenor expresa tan bellamante el si y el do natural como Luciano, con razon tenores celebres como Corelli, Alva, Gigli, Domingo, Carreras, Volpi, y sopranos celebres como Caballe, Scoto, Sutherland, De los Angeles, etc han dicho que Luciano tiene el mas bello timbre coocido en el mundo de la Opera.
Some of you are debating about how long Pavarotti held that highest note at the end and I can tell you I have seen him live and he has held that note that long before. Also, some of you neglect the fact that he holds the last TWO notes in one breath and holds the very last note much longer than anyone else. Besides the song is more than those final seconds and Pavarotti sings it better than anyone ever has. He has better tone, control, pitch, phrasing....not to mention his passion and charisma.
If I had seen this in person or something I honestly think I would've cried because of the amount of emotion in it...TOTALLY amazing listened to him in my music appreciation class today :)
he escuchado esta aria para turandot de varios tenores, entre ellos de corelli, mario lanza, carreras y placido domingo, y ninguno (tal vez corelli en esta unica pieza, en el año 1.958) me transmitió tanta pasión, y la interpretó con tanta magistralidad. Pavarotti siempre será el mejor tenor conocido.
Wow a true gift of god that was given to us humans...a voice of countless archangels singing all at once ( understatement ) never will there be another like our beloved LUCIANO PAVAROTTI and there never was...god rest his soul let him find peace in heaven
@acitipo Creo que tienes razon, yo de opera conozco muy poco o casi nada, llegue a verlo con Carreras y Domingo en TV, y lo hice porque a pesar de no saber nada de musica de este genero, me impresiono en una pelicula que pasaron en tv (canal 5 de televisa un domingo hace mas de 15 años por la mañana) y la verdad la pelicula me gusto mucho (era subtitulada y se llamaba "yes giorgio" ) y esta es la escena maxima de esa pelicula, quede tan encantado que nunca lo olvide. saludos
Yes, I think the 1979 NY one, posted here on youtube just before his death, is the finest version of Nessun dorma I have ever heard, better even than the one on the Decca recording of Turandot, and seeing him do it almost without effort, clearly enjoying himself, is fantastic.
The greatest part of this otherwise forgettable movie. The presentation of TURANDOT highlights at the end. The best tenor singing to be heard in any mainstream Hollywood movie. (Though I'm also partial to Mario Lanza). RIP, Luciano.
Recuerda amigo que Gigli fue profesor de el Padre de Luciano, y que a los 21 años escucho a Luciano....por pedido del Padre. Es verdad que Carreras tenia un bellisimo timbre pero SOLO EN LOS MEDIOS pues en los agudos el color cambiaba, en cambio Luciano tuvo el mismo color y timbre EN LOS GRAVES MEDIOS Y AGUDOS.
In the sports world, this music was awesome. I personally liked that song sang alongside Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras in 1990 with Zubin Mehta conducting (Three Tenors) Vicero - I will win!!! How about using that song to help the Denver Broncos celebrate its 50th Anniversary, and a Super Bowl title to top it off?
I don't know why they added an encore performance here in what looks to be a pretty bad movie, but I'm so glad they did. He actually tops himself, and right after I finally got my jaw to shut. How someone can sing that final line with that much power for that freaking long is like defying gravity itself.
Totally agree, though, differ slightly with jenni4claire, I think the 1980 version is the best I've heard from him. The best I've heard ever is the video entitled 'Jussi Bjorling's Best Nessun Dorma', posted here. I know he's not Latin, but he's just incredible.
Ooops. I am mistaking the 1979 and 1980 Lincoln Centre ones - you are quite right, the 1980 one is actually better, but they are both excellent, in my opinion.
Know what? At 5:36 his voice has a small "gap", to me it seems like a studio-cheat to lengthen the final note. Maybe I am wrong but if not, it is a nice PR gag to underline his brilliancy. :)
Because I can hear it and it's just common sense. I don't think even Corelli could have held it for that long and certainly Pav couldn't. It's fun though!
![It's OperAAAAAA | Luciano Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma (The Three Tenors in Concert 1994) [REACTION]](/img/1.gif)
No one sings Nessun Dorma like Pavarotti.
The single greatest singing performance ever captured on film!!
It is perfection , his peak . He was so terrible live in the last few years i walked out halfway
The best ever version of this Aria…. This then daylight
Is it just me or does he look like Brian Blessed here?
I saw him in Hollywood Bowl when I was in the military free seats down front. I never heard anything like it before or since. a life-changing experience I'll never forget as long as I live. I actually cried. rest in peace Luciano

this was the best final Vincero that he has ever given....:D...ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC....
THE BEST TENOR OF ALL TIME...:D
Indeed, my friend! He holds that final note INCREDIBLE 16 SECONDS! Noone even comes close to this!!!!!!!!
it doesn't get better than this.
gives me chills every time, the end is 14 seconds of heaven
Utterly astonishing and wondrous. If possible, the encore was greater than the premier. Lordy, I miss that man!
i have seen him performe this MANY TIMES!!! BUT THIS PERFORMANCE IS HIS BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TKS!!
Best performance ever!!!😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the best nessun dorma ever..

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO...🥰❤
Saw Pavarotti many times in concert. Never saw anyone better.
+CowboyTheBouncer Unfortunately he passed away several years ago at the age of 71.
+CowboyTheBouncer He died in 2007. I had the pleasure of meeting him after a New Years eve concert in Mass. in 1985.

THAT`S FOR SURE HE WAS THE GREATEST.
He sang the encore with more passion than the first time. Good reason to. His heart was just broken. She saw what his first love was and it wasn’t her
If I had seen this in person or something I honestly think I would've cried because of the amount of emotion in it...TOTALLY amazing listened to him in my music appreciation class today :)
never will there be another pavarotti in my lfe time .
At the end of the song , I knew his Heart was breaking because mine was to .
he escuchado esta aria para turandot de varios tenores, entre ellos de corelli, mario lanza, carreras y placido domingo, y ninguno (tal vez corelli en esta unica pieza, en el año 1.958) me transmitió tanta pasión, y la interpretó con tanta magistralidad.

es la mejor versión del aria nessun dorma, sin palabras el poder de la voz de Pavarotti.
such an amazing and talented man
If you like Pavarotti fair enough, I liked him also, but sadly we have lost them both Great tenors👍
IMPRESIONANTE, UNA VOZ ÚNICA QUE DIOS TIENE EL PRIVILEGIO DE TENERLO A SU LADO.
The fact that he brilliantly performed this here NOT ONCE, but TWICE… No words.
Wow a true gift of god that was given to us humans...a voice of countless archangels singing all at once ( understatement ) never will there be another like our beloved LUCIANO PAVAROTTI and there never was...god rest his soul let him find peace in heaven

THE BEST EVER, digne des Dieux.....
The best tenor.... lucciano pavarotti!!;
Dios mío, que hermosa... muero por ver esta película!!
I remember this movie! Thank you so very much for posting this! Such an amazing voice... He is incredibly missed.
amazing
Ich liebe diesen Film. Habe ihn heute noch auf VHS.
i love it!!!!!!!!!
Puccini and Pavarotti. A great combo!
The best
The greatest part of this otherwise forgettable movie. The presentation of TURANDOT highlights at the end. The best tenor singing to be heard in any mainstream Hollywood movie. (Though I'm also partial to Mario Lanza).
RIP, Luciano.
He is the best and f... the rest.
wonderful among the greatest
Meus Deus , que extraordinário
The master in his full prime.
how can he sustain the breath for that long??? wow
No sound trick, just the voice... unsurpassed.... will he ever be ?
You can hear the sound clipping in the encore, first one sound legit though
one of my favorites
22 amazing seconds could last at the last vinceró!
GOAT 🐐
Der beste..❤
Que maravilla ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This movie and the Buffalo Phil's Pops Concerts made me want to see and learn so much more about Opera. Can't get the wife to go with me.
i agree 100%
Will never be another.
This is a great aria
Que se puede decir de el maestro, simplemente difrutar de su gran e inugualable vos.
That final note lasted longer than it takes FIAT to build a whole car.
2:12 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5:31 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Recuerda amigo que Gigli fue profesor de el Padre de Luciano, y que a los 21 años escucho a Luciano....por pedido del Padre. Es verdad que Carreras tenia un bellisimo timbre pero SOLO EN LOS MEDIOS pues en los agudos el color cambiaba, en cambio Luciano tuvo el mismo color y timbre EN LOS GRAVES MEDIOS Y AGUDOS.
luciano was god miracle.
thats movie make me cry :/
Dilegua notte, tramontate stelle...
All'alba vinceró!
The first time I heard his second "Vincero" i thought the song was skipping because it lasted so damn long.
my god
La voie du siècle , il nous manque ...
after , Carusso,Pavarroti was the best tenor of our times for me.
HE WAS BETTER THAN CARUSO A MILLION TIMES BETTER.
In the sports world, this music was awesome.
I personally liked that song sang alongside Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras in 1990 with Zubin Mehta conducting (Three Tenors)
Vicero - I will win!!!
How about using that song to help the Denver Broncos celebrate its 50th Anniversary, and a Super Bowl title to top it off?
I bet only 1 in 10,000 people who've heard this song have also watched the entire performance of Turandot.
I agree
O operi nemam pojma ali ovo ne mogu prestati slusati.Odnese me u neki novi neistrazeni svijet.
Did I mention he holds the addition NINETEEN seconds??
I don't know why they added an encore performance here in what looks to be a pretty bad movie, but I'm so glad they did. He actually tops himself, and right after I finally got my jaw to shut. How someone can sing that final line with that much power for that freaking long is like defying gravity itself.
I've heard them all, and NO there are not.
A side note, the conductor is Alexander Courage most famous for composing the theme for the original "Star Trek" series.
i like techno music but this absolutly fantastic
The movie is very bad indeed but totally worth it just for this footage: Pavarotting singing Calaf at the Met.
Try to do that Potts!
@tvfella I couldn't say it better in my own words
@ufleku it wasnt on the second act?...
I'm aware of that, lol. Some people are not though.
Totally agree, though, differ slightly with jenni4claire, I think the 1980 version is the best I've heard from him. The best I've heard ever is the video entitled 'Jussi Bjorling's Best Nessun Dorma', posted here. I know he's not Latin, but he's just incredible.
yes he's miming here, but there are actual LIVE recordings of him holding the notes that long...
HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? OF COURSE HE WASN`T MIMING SO KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS IN YOUR OWN HEAD.
Ooops.
I am mistaking the 1979 and 1980 Lincoln Centre ones - you are quite right, the 1980 one is actually better, but they are both excellent, in my opinion.
I absolutley love Pavarotti and of course his specific aria -- but by not trying to sound Naive -- why does he sing it twice?
HE SANG IT THE SECOND TIME AS AN ONCOR
Know what? At 5:36 his voice has a small "gap", to me it seems like a studio-cheat to lengthen the final note. Maybe I am wrong but if not, it is a nice PR gag to underline his brilliancy. :)
HOW THE HECK WOULD YOU KNOW, HE WAS THE GREATEST AND IT WASN`T FAKE.
Don't you guys realize that he didn't actually hold the note that long it was a studio trick. It was looped.
NO IT WAS NOT KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOURSELF.
Excellent of course but it's a studio rec, not live.
Studio recording, yes, but who else could deliver a16 second note with such power, beauty and grace?
HE`S FANTASTIC AND IT WAS LIVE NOT A STUDIO RECORDING.
Because I can hear it and it's just common sense. I don't think even Corelli could have held it for that long and certainly Pav couldn't. It's fun though!
He is referred to in the movie as "ton of fun". hahahahahaha
Brilliant! My favorite rendition of "Nessun Dorma,"however, was sung by Jussi Bjorling.
17 seconds
Highly recommend listening to this while on acid.
@ufleku Just adding that it was the great Spanish tenor Miguel Fleta, who performed it originally.
IT´S A FILM...NOT A RECITAL !!! lol !!!
Did he lip synch this performance too?
NO HE DID NOT.
@joepod Considering it was for a movie, not a filiming of a live opera, he probably did lip synch himself.
NO HE DIDN`T LIP SYNC AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW ANYWAY KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOURSELF.
17 seconds...
Oh, give me a break.
