Pavarotti was one of the greatest opera singer in the whole world. This song brings so much power I’m so in love with this song I could watch it over again.
I think that here we can clearly see that Pavarotti is first of all great musician and actor. There are a lot of singers with wonderfull voices, but very few of then are great musicians... Thank you! BRAVO!!!
He often said himself he was a terrible actor, though he also said he was always working to improve. In this scene, however, I think I agree with you: he is brilliant here.
por esto vale la pena vivir, para escuchar a PAVAROTTI. los otros que dicen cantar, jajajajajaja, son unos pobres diablos. SIEMPRE TE RECORDARÉ PAVAROTTI
Me again. Reread your comment to me and realized that you were not just commenting, but trying to be demeaning and sarcastic. Yes, I have heard of Fleming, Gheorghiu and have seen my share of operas in some amazing places. Saw 'A Life for the Tsar' and 'Boris Gudonov' at Mariinsky in Petersburg, 'Boheme', 'Carmen' ++ at the MET in my hometown. 'Carmen", again, in Prague (not good), and 'Tosca' at a small venue in Rome. The saying, 'you get more flies with honey' fits here.
@thomastmwc lol--yup, I doubt very seriously that either the Duca nor Pava were ever told "no". When she faces him and he holds her head and forms the words as if he is going to kiss her--Ackkkkkk--thud! (no worries--just me melting into the floor!)
I think its pretty well laid out in the opening aria what sort of guy he is, though obviously he is gradually revealed to be worse and worse as the story unfolds. It must have been particularly shocking in its day that Gilda capitulates so absolutely here, then he is revealed to be married, and THEN he uses these same lines on a strumpet. But he is so irresistible here, you can't really blame the girl.
@deisyriv - I believe any Rigoletto DVD you'd buy on amazon including this one has optional subtitles at least in English; this one claims to have Spanish subtitles as well. If you want any production not just this one or don't want to buy just rent you could also try met player at metopera web site, they have one subtitled performance.
One thing that few point out: not only is he a womanizer, the Duke is FREAKING married. Remember that in the next Act, the page announces that his wife is looking for him. What a guy!
I always find it hard to argue with anyone who has the diplomacy use a phrase like 'respectfully disagree', but there are two things that I feel compelled to point out. This is not the scene where she dies, but where she falls for him, and two, a person in love is not necessarily in her right mind. Totally agree with you on sacrificing herself for him later, though. Very unnecessary, as I think I have posted on other Rigoletto videos on youtube, funny enough.
@dangerousmezzo pual potts is just a successor to bocelli to sing the popular songs and look pretty and make everyone a fan of opera but not a real virtuoso in opera, i wonder if potts has ever sang in an opera house yet?
You are right, there probably is something funny about me. I forget not everyone reading this has that much English . My post just meant, 'isn't the Duke very persuasive here?'
@raigekimaru well Rigoletto is not exactly a "good guy", although he is the main character, if you want an opera where the baritone is the positive character try "Simon Boccanegra" (that's by Giuseppe Verdi as well) I can recommend Cappuccilli's interpretations, you can find the one with him, Ghiaurov, Freni and Lucchetti here on YT (I doubt you could find better anywhere)
Hi. Just got your message about my comparing SB to MC. Many on that site were saying how SB and MC were similar. One person took them to task, disagreeing with them. I was agreeing with that person, saying that although SB has come a long way since her Phantom days, she is no MC and could never project like MC, Licia Albenese...etc. I was not comparing the 2, just agreeing with one who said what you did to me. I agree wirh you. Pls excuse confusion. I hope I didn't offend you.
Mi spiace ma dissento completamente le Regie televisive e non di Jean Pierre Ponelle credo siano tra le migliori che siano mai state eseguite assieme a quelle di Zeffirelli!
but your desire to look or feel superior, by making me feel small and undereductaed, was just uncalled for and unkind. Was not necessary. Yup, I am over reacting, and now sorry that I did, but too late for that, I tried to show off, naming operas I have seen and telling you that I had heard of those singers, all true, but it made me like you, a how off. Ok...now gone on much too long and feel stupid for 2nd time....helped the first time, and I did it the 2nd time all on my own. I wish you well.
continued....becuase had you wanted, or tried to instruct me on something you felt I was mistaken about or might have benefited from advice that you could have shared with me, that would be delightful. However, with your "if you've even ever heard of these people" or however it went, that was a dig that was uncalled for. You didn't even bother to ask, prior to the sarcasm, about my comment, you just assumed I was a dolt. Once on youtube, I had to retaliate to one named 'IWANNAEATYOURMAMA'. con't

Thank you! BRAVO!!!
Absolutely great! Grat peace of music and beatigul voices of Pavarotti & Gruberova... I can listen this piece for hours!!!
Stop, my beating heart!!!! I love him!!!
legendaria opera de verdi.... ETERNO LUCIANO -!
tell me which other tenor could sing like this just open his mouth and that beautiful voice would come out
Great Luci!
what to say? fantastic, marvelous, terrific!
edita and pavarotti constitute the best deuce in the opera field!
thanks to who posted this video!
He often said himself he was a terrible actor, though he also said he was always working to improve.

Nice! Love Pavarotti and Edita!! Lovely voices.
por esto vale la pena vivir, para escuchar a PAVAROTTI. los otros que dicen cantar, jajajajajaja, son unos pobres diablos. SIEMPRE TE RECORDARÉ PAVAROTTI
for me he has best voice and he was amazing actor too
The best tenor caruso more better the pavarotti caruso insuperable
finally, an opera where the tenor is the bad guy and the baritone is the good guy.
Unbeschreibar diese Arie u Stimme von Pavarotti der leider viel zu früh von uns gegangen ist.
omgggggggg so wonderfulllll
If only I understood Italian, this would be apsolutly wonderfull, but without understanding it is still amazing and moving.
CS_ITALY !! yes it is !!
Very nice voice btw !
addio addio ............
coool music
They didn't really dislike it they just misunderstood the thumbs up system.

Yup! Swoooon! Right into the floor.

I doubt if I would have put up much resistance. Those looks and that voice ...sighhhh.
Love this since i heard it in cs_ italy in counter strike :))

What a guy!
TAKING FIRE NEED ASSISTANCE
Magnificent...
Poor Gilda never stood a chance, did she?
Quanto pathos! :DDD
@DonAlfonso63 yes its that i've say ^^ it is Edita Gruberova and not Feodora barbieri :)
There is no 'good guy' in Rigoletto.
@zegermans750
I guess you're right. although some other operas where the baritone is the protagonist are Pagliacci and Simon Boccanegra
An opera without a hero. Poor girl!!
I always find it hard to argue with anyone who has the diplomacy use a phrase like 'respectfully disagree', but there are two things that I feel compelled to point out.
This is not the scene where she dies, but where she falls for him, and two, a person in love is not necessarily in her right mind.

does someone know where can I find the lyrics?
@dangerousmezzo pual potts is just a successor to bocelli to sing the popular songs and look pretty and make everyone a fan of opera but not a real virtuoso in opera, i wonder if potts has ever sang in an opera house yet?
alguien sabe en donde puedo encontrar esta opera de rigoletto con subtitulos en español o ingles
You are right, there probably is something funny about me. I forget not everyone reading this has that much English .
My post just meant, 'isn't the Duke very persuasive here?'
ce ne faremo una ragione...
Edita is Gilda, and Fedora is Giovanna.

@DonAlfonso63 This is edita Gruberova
Fedora Barbieri

Rigoletto voted against this.
2 CS hostages disliked this video.
@raigekimaru Rigoletto was hardly a good guy, Gilda was the only innocent character in the entire damn thing
hahaha it looks as if Pavarotti would rape Gruberova...
1 person is justin bieber ._.
twice
ammazza quant'è brutta 'sta regia... saga delle ovvietà. meno male che c'è luciano!
Hàivl đưa tôi đến đây :)
Guberova is wonderful.
Mi spiace ma dissento completamente le Regie televisive e non di Jean Pierre Ponelle credo siano tra le migliori che siano mai state eseguite assieme a quelle di Zeffirelli!
ive read, that although he sang beautifelly, hu sucked at acting..TELL ME WHAT AN IDIOT WROTE THAT??...I LIKE HIM THE BEST IN ANY WAY....right???
