    Check out Pavarotti here: en.wikipedia.o...
    Luciano Pavarotti, an iconic Italian tenor, remains one of the most admired figures in the world of opera, renowned for his extraordinary vocal clarity and powerful delivery. Celebrated for his mastery of bel canto technique, Pavarotti's performances brought opera to a wider audience through his numerous recordings, televised concerts, and notable appearances like the Three Tenors concert series. His interpretation of arias such as 'Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's Turandot has become legendary, showcasing his ability to convey deep emotions with unparalleled expressiveness. Pavarotti's influence extends beyond classical music, having collaborated with contemporary artists, which helped bridge the gap between classical opera and popular music. His legacy continues to inspire and attract new fans around the globe, cementing his status as one of the greatest operatic tenors of all time
    Nessun Dorma," the iconic aria from Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot, is celebrated globally for its compelling melody and emotional depth. Made famous by legendary tenor Luciano Pavarotti, particularly during the 1990 FIFA World Cup, "Nessun Dorma" has become a symbol of operatic excellence. This powerful aria showcases the protagonist Prince Calaf's victorious declaration as he awaits the dawn that will confirm his triumph. Its climactic high notes and stirring lyrics, translating to "None shall sleep," resonate with audiences, ensuring its place as a staple in classical music and a highlight at major performances. Fans of opera and classical music frequently seek out recordings and performances of "Nessun Dorma" on platforms like RUclips, Spotify, and Apple Music, where its dramatic impact and beauty continue to move and inspire listeners around the world.

    A few months ago, in our way to school, my 9 years old child told me they were going to talk about opera in school. He told me ‘daddy, what’s opera?’. I got my phone and told him I was going to show him. On the last ‘Vincero’ he started to shake and his mouth was wide open, tears falling through his eyes. When the video ended, I told him ‘that’s opera, I watched this when I was a child and I felt exactly how you feel right now. This is why I love opera’. He said nothing, but I could really see he was genuinely impressed and didn’t know how to express himself.

    Pavarotti himself stated emphatically that while he always had a love for football his one and only passion and obsession in life was the Opera. He was a fierce believer that Opera belonged to the people and there is a reason he worked so hard to promote and bring the Opera to the masses. He also taught free classes to up and coming tenors, he was very supportive of his fellow colleagues and wanted to teach them better techniques to further their careers.

Unbelievable how he could sing so quietly and so loud at the same time. He has a version Caruso (featuring Jeff Beck) in the album Ti Adoro which is phenomenal too.

    I am a musician, a ROCK musician. I had a girlfriend who couldn't understand why I like opera. One day watching PBS -- I'm from Shetland, but I live in America -- Pavarotti was to be featured. It was a nice spring day in South Florida so I had the front door open. Him doing this "song". I never heard the screen door open and close, too focused on the dude. As I was clapping I head someone else clapping. It was my girlfriend who HATED OPERA, tears in her eyes: "Who is that?" she asked. I told her Pavarotti. She said "I love opera." Of course you do! He is amazing!

    Also worth noting is Pavarotti's breathing during the last "vincerò". How he tops of between "vince" and "rò", so he has enough air to finish air to complete the song the way he wants to. This takes forever to master.
    ALL operas have silly plots, and the most beautiful songs often have less than impressive lyrics. What's important is not so much the plot or the lyrics, but the emotion you share as a singer.
    Opera singing seems to be something that either comes naturally to you (still takes a LOT of practice) or it doesn't. I'm one of those, where it simply suits my voice better, and the first time I let go of beliefs of how a teenage girl was supposed to sing, it changed me forever, because it gave me the freedom to express myself.
    To some it will be unnatural, and it will sound as weird as if I tried to sing gospel. Either is perfectly fine, as long as you embrace your voice as it is, not as you wish it to be.

    Pavarotti was very inspired by the Swedish opera scene and obviously Jussi Björling in particular. It's very apparent in his style that he always studied Jussi before tackling a new piece. In fact Pav once said that just being compared to Jussi was the greatest honor he could ever wish for

The next best rendition, I think, comes when the majestic three sing this in the encore of this same concert.

    Thank you for sharing this Beth. I have fond memories of my dad 'singing' along to many famous operas on the weekends. I still have his LP box sets of many famous operas. I think he loved LaBoheme the most with Pavarotti singing of course. If he didn't have the opera he would turn on his stereo receiver and listen to the simulcast of the Met Live from New York. We lived in Chicago and I am not sure if he ever saw Pavarotti live. He saw many operas at the Lyric Opera House in Chicago but whenever Pavarotti was scheduled to appear he would mysteriously cancel at the last minute. This behavior caused him to be banned from the Lyric Opera House by Ardis Kranik the director.
    As a side note it is nice to see that even in action movies Opera can serve as a backdrop. In Quantum of Solace Daniel Craig attends a performance of Tosca to learn more about a secret organization.
    In Mission Impossible Ethan Hunt tries to locate a terrorist at a performance of Turandot in Vienna.
    My dad had a decent voice but didn't know Italian so he just imitated what he heard. It didn't matter to him, I think expression was more important than any language barrier. Opera is very powerful, as any music that touches the heart. Thank you for the analysis and look forward to many more.

    Pavarotti was hands down the best to ever do it. There's just something about his vocal quality that triggers the emotions. Dunno what it is. As far as his facial expression goes at the end of this particular performance. My pet theory has always been that going into this performance he wasn't 100% sure he could pull that B4 at the end off and his face at the end is just absolute relief that he still had it. This was toward the end of his career after all and at this point he'd been experiencing a lot of health problems

  • @johnhmaloney

    I've never been an opera fan, but I've always loved Pavarotti's voice. There was something about the way he sang that just sounded much more natural and emotive than other opera that I've heard and now that I know about bel canto, I think that explains it. Incidentally, what you were saying about operas being the soap operas of their day reminds me a lot of Shakespeare. Most people think of his plays a being highbrow and, while he was a genius when it came to putting words together (a lot of phases that he coined are still commonly used), most of the plots of his plays were basically soap operas and were meant to appeal to a very general audience.

The only difference between then and now is that back then you wouldnt have much apart from the theatre (prose and opera and symphonies) and reading books, and they needed to be long and large because bourgoise life pivoted around theatre life.

    In the mid-'70's I heard Pavarotti in recital, performing for an audience that included many trained singers. With a truly great artist on stage, many experts can turn from being critics to being blubbering fanboys and girls, carried away with emotion. After Pav hit a high C it was like a magnetic force dragged everyone to their feet, cheering wildly. Yes raw emotion is a valid part of operatic expression and we need it more than ever now when the art form, beset by cynical revisionism, is having a lot of trouble.

    Deep Purple was a part of Pavarotti's annual fund raising tour in 2003. And Ian Gillan said to Pavarotti that Nessum Dorma is really a great rock ballad, and therefore they sang this as a duet. I don't know how many rocksingers that actually would came up with the idea to that. But you can of course check it out on RUclips.
