Yes! Pavarotti was the greatest tenor of all time (to my taste, at least). I never get tired to listen to him in almost any best opera song like this one. Thanks also to the great composers who created and wrote those great pieces of music.
Oh, Pavarotti did plenty like this, and he was abundantly recorded, filmed, and video’d. This performance was no “lightning in a bottle” thing. For awhile, in fact, these “Three Tenors” concerts became a worldwide phenomenon, almost supplanting Pavarotti’s, Domingo’s, and Carreras’s real opera performance careers, and videos like this seemed to be popping up all over the place, driven by big-time record company marketing, and constant TV broadcasts.
#1 this is an Opera (Ah-Pur-Ah), not Oprah as in Oprah Winfrey. #2 His name is pronounced Loo-Chee-An-No Pa-Vah-Rot-Tee He is often referred to as il Maestro (the master) & king of the High C note. Regardless if you are familiar with, a fan (or not) of Opera as a genre, you can still appreciate the natural talent & dedication of this legendary tenor to become one of the best the world has ever seen & heard. This performance was recorded back in 1994 when Luciano was 59 years old. How many modern day pop stars half his age can belt out notes like he did? Sadly, very few these days. This was back before auto tune & it was done in front of a live audience consisting of over 75,000 people. This is just an aria (or solo) of the opera "Turandot" by Giacomo Puccini, written in 1924 & first performed in 1926. You don't have to understand the lyrics in order to feel the raw passion behind each performance. Great music & incredible natural talent transcends all languages & ages. It takes decades of training to achieve the proper techniques to do classical (aka opera), which is considered to be the hardest form of singing to control & master. Many try & fail because it is so technically difficult. Luciano was once quoted saying that his vocal cords were kissed by God. Yeah, no truer words were ever spoken. His body is a whole cathedral full of angelic sounds. ❤I saw another comment which is so spot on "Hearing your first opera with Luciano singing is like taking your very first car ride in a Rolls Royce." The world lost a tremendous talent & the greatest voice of the modern era when Luciano passed away in 2007. I'm glad that my 2nd favorite tenor, Andrea Bocelli, is still alive & singing his heart out...
The Great Maestro named LUCIANO PAVAROTTI had this incredible ability to touched your SOUL.... using his exceptional VOICE. He usually touched and vibrate the souls of the HUMANS who heard his arias...... and even the ANGELS stopped in fascination just to listen to this miracle voice of a MAN.
No-one sleeps....No-one sleeps, Even you, o princess, In your cold room, Watch the stars Which tremble with love And hope! But my secret is locked within me, No-one shall know my name! No, no, I shall say it on your mouth When the light breaks! And my kiss will break the silence That makes you mine! (no-one shall know his name, And we, alas, shall die!) Vanish, o night! Set, ye stars! At dawn I shall win!
1) The singer is Italian. Hardly anyone studies Italian outside of college, and it's rare even then. So don't worry about mispronouncing his name. English doesn't help here ;-) 2) the guy with the stick is the conductor. Since classical orchestras often have dozens of musicians, his jo is to make sure they all keep in time, the various instruments start when they are supposed to, are loud and soft when they are supposed to be, etc. 3) Pavorotti's expressions at the end are more due to the fact he would usually be acting out this song - opera is the original multi-media - the singers acting (sometimes only kind of acting, it's true), the orchestra, and sometimes even dancing. The words at the end can be translated as: "I will win! I will win!" So both the note, the length of the note, his expression are meant to emphasize his victory. If he doesn't 'win' - he will be executed, so the emotion is very strong.

Tu pure, o Principessa, (Even you, oh Princess,) nella tua fredda stanza, (in your cold room,) guardi le stelle, (watch the stars,) che fremono d'amore (that tremble with love) e di speranza. (and hope.) Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me, (But my secret is hidden within me,) il nome mio nessun saprà... (My name none shall know...) No, no! Sulla tura bocca lo dirò (No, no! On your mouth, I will tell it) quando la luce splenderà! (when the light shines!) Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio (And my kiss will dissolve the silence) che ti fa mia! (that makes you mine!) (Il nome suo nessun saprà) (No one will know his name) (e noi dovrem, ahimè, morir!) (and we must, alas, die!) Dilegua, o notte! (Vanish, o night!) Tramontate, stelle! (Set, stars!) Tramontate, stelle! (Set, stars!) All'alba vincerò - (At dawn, I will win -) Vincerò - (I will win -) Vincerò!~ (I will wiiin!)
Only two things in life have a conductor on Orchestra and a train yeah he's a conductor. Fun fact Luciano Pavarotti can't read music how amazing is that
I'm glad you got a chance to listen something outside of the box. I noticed this generation it's not familiar with chill, r&b, relaxed etc. Everything is so fast like it needs to beat the bop too. Very distracting
You can do a little research on this particular opera and you will developed a whole new appreciate for Mr. Pavarotti’s perfomance. The opera is titled Turandot and it is a great play about selflessness and love overcoming evil and darkness. A beautiful composition by Puccini. Who has also composed other fantastic operas. You may find it worth while to research some of his work. Turandot as several other beautiful aria, (songs). You can also find the synopsis for the opera and english translation for each aria so you know what they are singing and why. A worth while project if you love music
Please react to Marian Anderson. Recognised as one of the "voices of the century" her singing at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939 is not only a great voice at its peak, but perhaps as historically significant as MLK jr's "I have a dream" speech. ruclips.net/video/Bt2jQjMw7ts/видео.html
Dude with the stick is the conductor. He is just there for show. To give the illusion that he is letting everyone know what and how to play. But if you look no one is watching him. They are all accomplished musicians who know the scores inside and out. Unfortunately he gets all the credit.
Classical orchestral percussionist here… I can assure you that if you don’t keep one eye on the conductor, and mind-meld with them as though you were their instrument, you will most assuredly not have that job for long. The Conductor/Musical Director is the most important musician on that stage, and don’t you forget it.

"Oh, this is a Oprah!"
LMAO 🤣😂
Look at his face right after he’s done singing. Looks like he comes to a realization and is ready to go again
The best recorded moment in opera history, maybe in the history of music, that i know of. Way to go man, good resaction!

The "stick" is the "baton". The stick wielder is the orchestra's conductor - his job is to keep them playing very well together.

The greatest that ever lived.

That makes you mine!

That would be the conductor and, it is a baton. Luciano Pavarotti was known as the "King of the High C".
His Italian first name, Luciano is pronounced:
Loo chee ano
The word opera is pronounced:
Opp er ah.
😉🎶
The Maestro ❤️
That would be the conductor in the front, waving his baton to keep going even more.
I'm glad you got a chance to listen something outside of the box. I noticed this generation it's not familiar with chill, r&b, relaxed etc. Everything is so fast like it needs to beat the bop too. Very distracting
Well said! well im a rnb artist i listen to everything so i can better my craft
One of the greatest opera singers of all time.

They be called a conductor and the sticks are called a magic wand.
It's called a baton.
italian Legend 🇮🇹❤
Not an "Oprah". An opera!
Wonderful ❤️
One of the best men. Also Mario Lanza. Now listen to a top woman sing it. Amira Willighagen.
Listen to Che Gelida Manina from La Boheme opera

Opera, not Oprah lmao
Oprah wasn't involved here.
Language. Sir.....
Conductor
Questo non capisce niente.
Yeah,it's an Oprah.
Dude with the stick is the conductor. He is just there for show. To give the illusion that he is letting everyone know what and how to play. But if you look no one is watching him. They are all accomplished musicians who know the scores inside and out. Unfortunately he gets all the credit.
wha---------
Classical orchestral percussionist here…

The Conductor/Musical Director is the most important musician on that stage, and don’t you forget it.
Pavarotti = Michael Jordan of opera.
It’s pronounced OPERA. Not Oprah.
