The greatest operatic tenor of ALL TIME. He was called the King of the High C. He passed away in 2007 at the age of 71 of pancreatic cancer. No, he was standing up. Great reaction. You need to listen Luciano sing Ave Maria.
When I was young didn't care for opera,thought they just screeming ...then I saw HIM on tv.Now I can say to my grandkids,I lived in time of Pavarotti ...
fool, you exalt Pavarotti and you don't know the absolute best: Mario del Monaco .. the Tenorissimo .. Pavarotti was nobody compared to Mario del Monaco, it's like comparing Garifullina to Callas .. Ignoranti, bestie, barbari...
Luciano was once quoted saying that his vocal cords were kissed by God. It is true. His body is a cathedral full of angelic sounds. I saw a comment that was so spot on - hearing your first opera with Luciano singing is like taking your very first car ride in a Rolls Royce.
@@nancyberry1039 Can you imagine what Luciano must have felt like as all of these glorious sounds came out of him. I imagine he would have had a deep, beautiful and spiritual experience each and every time. I know he had to have felt the hand of God upon him. That's so nice how he said his vocal chords were touched by God. That shows his humility in recognizing that and giving honor to God and not himself. I would have so loved to hear him sing in person ♥️. RIP Luciano 👑💐
He's stunning. My father was a big opera fan so I was awoken every Sunday morning to Mario Lanza, Pavarotti and Placido Domingo .I was fortunate to see Pavarotti live. Absolutely transcendent
Someone asked how Pavarotti sang like that and he responded something like, "sing six hours a day for twenty years." The man put in the work as well as having tremendous talent.
like Bjorn Borg said about playing tennis: behind every pass you see, there is a thousand hours. This is not something you are just born with. You also have to work hard for it.
At the end of the song, you can tell he was in a different place than the rest of us. I believe he even acknowledged that he didn't know why that performance was so amazing. He obviously tapped into something
The lung capacity that man had, wow, look closely at the end after he sings that last heroic note, he's breathing in time with the orchestra like they're connected, absolutely amazing
Exactly! It's the SONG, not the singer. But people just don't get it! Have Pavarotti sing "Mary had a little lamb" and nobody will shed a tear and ramble on about "tone", "range" and "passion"... (oh my blood pressure... I really should stop watching RUclips-reactions, LOL)
@@christinescheiner5194 You didn't get me at all. 1) Jealous of what? I am Italian and I am proud of both Pavarotti a d Puccini. 2) Several other teneros did great resoults as well. 3) IT IS THE MUSIC MADE BY PUCCINI THAT COUNTS MORE HERE.
Pavarotti was one of the best if not the best Tenor of all time, its great to see young people enjoying his talent, he took opera from a mainly elderly and wealthy peoples music and by teaming up with more contemporary performers such as Blues, Rock, Soul, Pop etc etc, he took opera to ALL the people.........Well done MAESTRO !!!
@@michaelwduffy And you probably won't ever hear anything like him again!!! This song was sang at the weekend by Andrea Bocelli, who you've probably heard singing on a version of Ed Sheeran's Perfect. If you've not heard that version you should definitely check it out!!! Anyway his rendition of Nessun Dorma was very good, but Pavorotti is on a whole different level, the greatest of all time.
I have watched this video countless times and it has brought me to tears every time. I wont watch any other singer perform the song, because No one can possibly come close to this Pavarotti performance....perfection.
Pavarotti is the love of my life❤ the voice, the tone and the feeling, Nobody comes even close. Listen to Caruso from him, also a song that kills my soul everytime.
anche per la milionesima! noi italiani siamo cresciuti sentendolo cantare milioni di volte, spesso anche in tv: ogni volta è sempre come se fosse la prima.
It cracks me up to watch your reaction. I’m laughing. I grew up in an Italian household, and I heard SO much opera. Nevertheless, listening to Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma is one of the best few moments you can spend in your life. Try Che Gelida Manina, which is another beautiful aria. 😂
I've watched about 30 reactions to this you're the only one who had the same reaction I had when I heard LP sings for the first time 25 years ago, he is not human, I still think that today, the greatest voice in history.
Here in the UK those of us not into opera were introduced to Pavorotti when the BBC chose this song for their Italia '90 FIFA World Cup theme tune and it wowed everyone back then and still does. I think it even reached number 2 or 3 on the pop charts at the time, unheard of for an opera song. It was so popular that he performed this in a concert at the next World Cup in the US in 1994, as part of The 3 Tenors (alongside Plácido Domingo and José Carreras). I don't understand a word of the song but the emotion and passion he puts into the song is just incredible, it wows me every time I hear this (I know the song is from the opera Turandot and Nessun Dorma means None Shall Sleep, but that's about it)!!!
This is the plot: "Prince Calaf (the tenor, Pavarotti) falls in love with the cold Princess Turandot. In order to obtain permission to marry her, a suitor must solve three riddles. Any single wrong answer will result in the suitor's execution. Calaf passes the test, but Turandot refuses to marry him. He offers her a way out: if she is able to guess his name before dawn the next day, he will accept death." He sings this 'aria' waiting for dawn to come, confident to be victorious. That's why the verses 'Il nome mio nessun saprà - Nobody shall know my name. All'alba vincerò - At dawn I shall win'
Who said opera is boring? I'm so glad you chose the most beautiful aria of all time sung by possibly the Greatest Tenor of all time. What a won double for you. 👍👍
Michael, please watch the end again, and really watch his face. As someone else commented, it’s as if he is on a different plane. Can’t begin to count the number of times I’ve watched this, and every time those last notes, make my body my tingle, it’s almost like an electric current.
I don't want to diminish Pavarotti's merits, but this experience also requires Puccini's music! Not all opera arias are so effective. This is such a hit! It affects people intensely. You can almost see how music frees the soul and brings tears to one's eyes.
He was standing not sitting. His voice was a product of two things 1) genetics 🧬 (his father was also a tenor) and 2) a lifetime of hard work and determination. There is obviously no deity that just randomly bestows talent on humans.
Osservo le espressioni di chi lo ascolta per la prima volta 😊... Io lo ascolto, lo riascolto negli anni e la mia emozione è la stessa di chi lo ascolta per la prima volta! Grandissimo Luciano, ti voglio bene ❤
Michael, you are not the ONLY reactor who said these same things about Pavarotti, people who claimed they hated opera or never wanted to listen to it. They changed their minds after listening to him. You should see his performance with James Brown singing James Brown's famous song "It's a Man's World" It is here on You Tube, I hope you will react to it
Just so you know he wasn't sitting down it's just that the maestro was on an elevated stage. Pavarotti is the best tenor ever. You're right his voice is very Godlike.
I was fortunate enough to see him live in concert. A once in a lifetime experience. Even without knowing the words, if it brings tears to your eyes, you get it.
Opera houses did not have microphones. Pavarotti could make the chairs in the balconies vibrate. People who were lucky enough to see him in person have never forgotten it.
He was the greatest tenor ever! So many tenors have sung Nessus Dorma and many are excellent but Pavarotti was beyond them all. I only fell in love with opera in my 40’s when I heard this brilliant man sing this song. God blessed him with an amazing gift.♥️🙏🏽🌹
This was at the ending of his career... His cancer was getting worse & his health was suffering yet he was able to still give this level of a performance.... You should watch for Pavarotti & Friends he was still healthy & in the absolute apex of his voice..
Ahhh, the look of absolute awe and WTF on your face was wonderful! Sometimes it takes a minute for your ears & brain to comprehend what you are hearing (if at all!). And it doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, he could be singing his shopping list and it'd still be magnificent! Even after a 1000 listens, it still takes my breath away... 💜
He was a man who loved to laugh. He was also very overweight and that may have been a problem, it is a problem for many opera singers. This is truly the best version by a man available. You should also check out Sarah Brightman singing Nessun Dorma. It will also knock you out. Though it is probably more a man's song, it could be converted and I don't speak Italian, so am the wrong one to ask. Do Check out Sarah.
I had the pleasure of seeing him in operas and concerts many times. There was an added dimension to his performances. You could actually feel waves of love, like a tide, wash from the audience to him and back from him to the audience. That is how he affected people audibly and also visually.
Please note that Luciano Pavarotti was standing while singing and not sitting down as you mentioned. Ps, Luciano had the most incredible voice that has matured over a very long career in Opera. 👍
He was the greatest of all time. The king of the high C.. Even the timbre in his talking voice was so beautiful.. His voice was the most uniquely natural Tenor ever.. I doubt there'll ever be another like him.. His timbre was unique.. You're born with that...I miss him being in the world. 💔💔💔🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇦🇺🇦
Nessun dorma, nessun dorma Tu pure, o Principessa Nella tua fredda stanza Guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore E di speranza Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me Il nome mio nessun saprà No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò Quando la luce splenderà Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio Che ti fa mia Dilegua, o notte Tramontate, stelle Tramontate, stelle All'alba vincerò Vincerò Vincerò
I get so thrilled to see you lovely young people being introduced to opera and arguably the greatest tenor of all time. Have a listen to him singing Caruso. It will blow your mind and make you cry.
A voice like Pavarotti's only comes around every few hundred years or so. My only regret as a musician is that I never got to see him perform live while he was still here with us.
He's not sitting down..the conductor is on a band stand so the orchestra can see him as they're sitting down... look closer and you'll see what I mean! Great reaction... beautiful 💖
I love how at the end of the video you can see Pavarotti just close his eyes and soak it all in. My Grandpa was a big fan of his and I grew up listening to opera. What a voice, absolutely transcendent
@@michaelwduffy yeah it was this huge 3x5 console my mom had in her room in the 80s and I would go in there and listen to Kenny Rogers, Pavarotti and the Chariots of Fire soundtrack lol. We would check out a lot of records from the library too! Good times 👍
I was lucky enough to see and hear him performe this and much more live in Amsterdam around the time this aired. On Queensday in the Arena in Amsterdam, the Queen and her family were there as well. He was from another planet. So beautifull❤️
Please react to the song "Caruso" sung by Luciano Pavarotti. The writer of this song, Lucio Dalla (from Bologna, northern Italy), wrote this while staying in one of the rooms where Enrico Caruso, former famous tenor (From Neaples, southern Italy), spent the final days of his life. Caruso was 48-years-old when he died, and a few years before Caruso died, he married Dorothy Park Benjamin who was 20 years younger. They had a baby girl they named Gloria. Lucio Dalla wrote this song while imagining how Caruso, who knew he was dying, would have said goodbye to his young wife - the love of his life. Fun Fact: in sicilian dialect the word caruso means (ragazzo) boy.
His reaction at the end is him coming out of the part he is playing in the opera . Vincero means I will win. So this is his look of determination of victory.
I had a very similar reaction the first time I heard an aria. You wouldn't believe how long and how hard opera singers train. Pavarotti was one of the greats, for sure, and this opens up a whole new genre for you to explore.

"if God had a voice, it would be him" what a beautiful compliment
I’ve heard him sing this so many times and I get goose bumps every time. Simply the greatest.
I weep mom saw the 3 tenors before she passed
Brings me to tears every single time! I sobbed and sobbed during the opera!
Every single time🥹
The greatest operatic tenor of ALL TIME. He was called the King of the High C. He passed away in 2007 at the age of 71 of pancreatic cancer. No, he was standing up. Great reaction. You need to listen Luciano sing Ave Maria.
I defiantly will thanks for the suggestion Sandra !!!! all the best my friend !!!!
When I was young didn't care for opera,thought they just screeming ...then I saw HIM on tv.Now I can say to my grandkids,I lived in time of Pavarotti ...
The greatest?? What about Mario Lanza? Die was ZONDER microfoon desondanks hoorbaar in de gehele concertzaal.
1 Franco Corelli = 20 Pavarotti
1 Mario Del Monaco = 20 Pavarotti
1 Beniamino Gigli = 20 Pavarotti
1 Helge Rosvaenge = 20 Pavarotti
1 Jussi Bjorling = 20 Pavarotti
1 Aureliano Pertile =20 Pavarotti
fool, you exalt Pavarotti and you don't know the absolute best: Mario del Monaco .. the Tenorissimo .. Pavarotti was nobody compared to Mario del Monaco, it's like comparing Garifullina to Callas ..
Ignoranti, bestie, barbari...
I love your comment "If God had a voice it would be him." I agree with you wholeheartedly. Pavarotti is the King of Opera ❤️👑
Luciano was once quoted saying that his vocal cords were kissed by God. It is true. His body is a cathedral full of angelic sounds. I saw a comment that was so spot on - hearing your first opera with Luciano singing is like taking your very first car ride in a Rolls Royce.

I would have so loved to hear him sing in person ♥️. RIP Luciano 👑💐
He is not the king, the King is Andrea Bocelli and Pavoretti is the fat narcissist who can't get by a mirror without looking.
Watching your eyes as he sings is like watching the soul enter a human body. Now, at last, you have known beauty.
Bellissimo il tuo stupore vero e puro. Grazie per il tuo video. Pavarotti è stato il padre della lirica italiana!!! ♥️
He's stunning. My father was a big opera fan so I was awoken every Sunday morning to Mario Lanza, Pavarotti and Placido Domingo .I was fortunate to see Pavarotti live. Absolutely transcendent
Every Sunday morning.
Opera blasting on the radio
I used to wonder what our neighbors thought!
I saw Pavarotti live once as well. Absolutely amazing.
I envy yall for being able to see him live! I was young when he passed so I didn’t enjoy opera like I do now.
Mario Lanza in the movie “The Student Prince” is amazing.
Someone asked how Pavarotti sang like that and he responded something like, "sing six hours a day for twenty years." The man put in the work as well as having tremendous talent.
like Bjorn Borg said about playing tennis: behind every pass you see, there is a thousand hours. This is not something you are just born with. You also have to work hard for it.
Dude !! He is the greatest tenor whoever lived he’s the G. O. A. T !!
They’ll never be another like him … RIP Luciano
At the end of the song, you can tell he was in a different place than the rest of us. I believe he even acknowledged that he didn't know why that performance was so amazing. He obviously tapped into something
Do you know where he said that? Would love to find it.
Nobody can hold a candle to this fella when he sings this. He totally owns it 100%. Stirs your soul for sure.
Jussi Björling is an equal.
@@kamuzu nah. Franco Corelli and that’s it.
@@cristianr.f6465 well, I must have a listen to Corelli and see if my opinion sways.
@@kamuzunon ci si avvicina nemmeno.....
The lung capacity that man had, wow, look closely at the end after he sings that last heroic note, he's breathing in time with the orchestra like they're connected, absolutely amazing
People forget that, a part Pavarotti's talent, the main aspect here is PUCCINI'S MUSIC! 🇮🇹❤️
Exactly! It's the SONG, not the singer. But people just don't get it! Have Pavarotti sing "Mary had a little lamb" and nobody will shed a tear and ramble on about "tone", "range" and "passion"... (oh my blood pressure... I really should stop watching RUclips-reactions, LOL)
I've heard it attempted by lesser tenors. Nope! Luciano gives it it's impact here. Ah, the jealousy surrounding this great tenor. Sad really.
@@christinescheiner5194 You didn't get me at all. 1) Jealous of what? I am Italian and I am proud of both Pavarotti a d Puccini. 2) Several other teneros did great resoults as well. 3) IT IS THE MUSIC MADE BY PUCCINI THAT COUNTS MORE HERE.
@@maxxam2774 according to you.
@@christinescheiner5194 No, according to the logic.
Nobody will ever compare to him never again he is the GOAT
Maybe so. But it would also be good to listen to Jonathan Antoine sing it. Both sound so good.
I love watching people’s faces when they first hear this aria sung by Pavarotti. The World’s best tenor
Grande Maestro... Grandissimo unico e irripetibile Luciano Pavarotti....Number One 👍🇮🇹
A perfect reaction to the world's greatest tenor.
Pavarotti was one of the best if not the best Tenor of all time, its great to see young people enjoying his talent, he took opera from a mainly elderly and wealthy peoples music and by teaming up with more contemporary performers such as Blues, Rock, Soul, Pop etc etc, he took opera to ALL the people.........Well done MAESTRO !!!

He gets in a "zone" . . Once singing he doesnt even register the audiance . . . Until the end . . Unreal . . .pure sound. . .
I was lucky enough to meet him and shake his hand in 1996 - he was a giant man but so kind and gentle
The voice of God moving through him. There's nothing like Pavarotti. It makes me cry 🙏🏾❤️
Same.
Always makes me weep
I have watched this video countless times and it has brought me to tears every time. I wont watch any other singer perform the song, because No one can possibly come close to this Pavarotti performance....perfection.
Wrong, there are Pavarotti recordings of this aria since 1972 on TouTube. You can listen to him when he had more voice, especially for the finale.
Every time I hear him singing , I’m tearing up and get goosebumps !!!
Pavarotti is the love of my life❤ the voice, the tone and the feeling, Nobody comes even close. Listen to Caruso from him, also a song that kills my soul everytime.
most people cry when hearing this the first time .
anche per la milionesima! noi italiani siamo cresciuti sentendolo cantare milioni di volte, spesso anche in tv: ogni volta è sempre come se fosse la prima.
Pavarotti was a master of his craft. His whole body was a cathedral of sound.
Watching the child getting enthralled listening to Pavarotti made me smile 😁😊 I hope he develops a love for opera and classical music. . . .
It cracks me up to watch your reaction. I’m laughing. I grew up in an Italian household, and I heard SO much opera. Nevertheless, listening to Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma is one of the best few moments you can spend in your life. Try Che Gelida Manina, which is another beautiful aria. 😂

Paverotti transitioned so very smoothly from note to note…no one has ever matched his incredible voice.
Greatest singer to ever walk the earth my friend.
His voice was definitely Heaven sent. ❤️ He was the BEST, and although there are others, he was amazing. 🥹
He was the best, no one can come close to his perfection. He was standing up.

Michael, you said it all in one word: genius!
so hard to believe that there are still people in this time that never heard pavarotti
He and Bjorling had the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.
Who said opera is boring? I'm so glad you chose the most beautiful aria of all time sung by possibly the Greatest Tenor of all time. What a won double for you. 👍👍
Keith Richard's loves opera he's said it many time
So many astounding arias out there. Some so beautiful as to elicit tears.
Everytime the same unic emotion listening Luciano ❤️
I think he said at one time ‘God kissed my vocal chords’ he was and still is the greatest Tennor of all time. He is greatly missed
Pavarotti was marvelous, lucky enough to have seen him numerous times at the Met and concert, a true immortal, thank God he was recorded so much.
You need to hear without stopping. It interrupts the emotions. I've heard probably 100 times and still moved each time ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. Goose bumps every time.
If you like him look up The 3 Tenors! He's one of the three top tenors in the world at one time!
... grazie Michael! you make me cry ... Made in Italy :-D Come in Italy, you are welcome !
I saw a documentary about Pavarotti and they filmed Luciano singing with his father! It was wonderful!
Just BTW, he is NOT sitting down. Most opera is sung standing. 😊
Sweetness, gentleness and power!!!

I hear a lot of people say his voice wasn’t human but from God or angels! RIP. ♥️
Glad you discovered the amazing Pavarotti !!! Perfection.
And on the seventh day, God rested & listened to Luciano
He was standing not sitting. His voice was a product of two things 1) genetics 🧬 (his father was also a tenor) and 2) a lifetime of hard work and determination. There is obviously no deity that just randomly bestows talent on humans.

Your reaction was priceless..I want to cry whenever I hear this..
Pavarotti was a true generational talent. The rest of us were lucky to have him.
Unico al mondo grande Luciano 🇮🇹👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤🇮🇹

If god had a voice - it would be him. Sums it up perfectly.
He was a man who loved to laugh. He was also very overweight and that may have been a problem, it is a problem for many opera singers.
This is truly the best version by a man available.
You should also check out Sarah Brightman singing Nessun Dorma. It will also knock you out. Though it is probably more a man's song, it could be converted and I don't speak Italian, so am the wrong one to ask.
Do Check out Sarah.
I had the pleasure of seeing him in operas and concerts many times. There was an added dimension to his performances. You could actually feel waves of love, like a tide, wash from the audience to him and back from him to the audience. That is how he affected people audibly and also visually.
Pavarotti was such a great singer. Yes, i still get goosepimples every time i hear him, such a loss to the world.♥️
Please note that Luciano Pavarotti was standing while singing and not sitting down as you mentioned. Ps, Luciano had the most incredible voice that has matured over a very long career in Opera. 👍
He is not sitting, the conductor is on a pedestal and Pavorotti is short.
Pavarotti short?😮 my good brother, he was 6 feet tall. Definetely not short.
He was the greatest of all time. The king of the high C.. Even the timbre in his talking voice was so beautiful.. His voice was the most uniquely natural Tenor ever.. I doubt there'll ever be another like him..
His timbre was unique.. You're born with that...I miss him being in the world. 💔💔💔🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇺🇦🇺🇦
Nessun dorma, nessun dorma
Tu pure, o Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore
E di speranza
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
Il nome mio nessun saprà
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
Che ti fa mia
Dilegua, o notte
Tramontate, stelle
Tramontate, stelle
All'alba vincerò
Vincerò
Vincerò
If God has a voice. What a beautiful way to say that about his voice. ❤
Brilliant reaction brother, and you nailed it, his voice is 100% a gift from Almighty God.
thanks James appreciate that my man !!! all the best dude !!
I get so thrilled to see you lovely young people being introduced to opera and arguably the greatest tenor of all time. Have a listen to him singing Caruso. It will blow your mind and make you cry.
Will do thanks so much!! 😁
LOVE that look on your face when he sang those first notes.
They often called his voice: "The voice cords that God kissed!"
Okay, so he's not sitting down. The conductor is raised on a small platform for the orchestra to see him. But what a wonderful reaction! God's voice!
A voice like Pavarotti's only comes around every few hundred years or so. My only regret as a musician is that I never got to see him perform live while he was still here with us.
Now that you have heard Pavarotti, you need to hear arguably the best female opera singer to have lived: Maria Callas, singing Casta Diva.
Love to see a reaction of Pavarotti singing Una Furtiva Lagrima, he got a 20 minute standing ovation and is a much more incredible aria
"Go away night! Turn off, stars! At the sunrise i'll win!"
He's not sitting down..the conductor is on a band stand so the orchestra can see him as they're sitting down... look closer and you'll see what I mean! Great reaction... beautiful 💖
When we lost him, we lost a TREASURE! It always makes me cry.
I love how at the end of the video you can see Pavarotti just close his eyes and soak it all in. My Grandpa was a big fan of his and I grew up listening to opera. What a voice, absolutely transcendent
My mom had one of his records on vinyl when I was a kid and I used to listen to him all the time
This was the Three Tenors concert from Dodger Stadium in 1994 in celebration of the World Cup that had just been played in the US
Oh no way!!!! I had no idea that’s so cool!!!! Something about vinyl that I love ! Must be the classic aspect to it! Thanks dude!
@@michaelwduffy yeah it was this huge 3x5 console my mom had in her room in the 80s and I would go in there and listen to Kenny Rogers, Pavarotti and the Chariots of Fire soundtrack lol. We would check out a lot of records from the library too! Good times 👍
I wish i could hear this for the first time again.. And be blown away by this fantastic voice again! I absolutely love this song!
I was lucky enough to see and hear him performe this and much more live in Amsterdam around the time this aired. On Queensday in the Arena in Amsterdam, the Queen and her family were there as well. He was from another planet. So beautifull❤️
The perfect voice before going to heaven
Please react to the song "Caruso" sung by Luciano Pavarotti. The writer of this song, Lucio Dalla (from Bologna, northern Italy), wrote this while staying in one of the rooms where Enrico Caruso, former famous tenor (From Neaples, southern Italy), spent the final days of his life. Caruso was 48-years-old when he died, and a few years before Caruso died, he married Dorothy Park Benjamin who was 20 years younger. They had a baby girl they named Gloria. Lucio Dalla wrote this song while imagining how Caruso, who knew he was dying, would have said goodbye to his young wife - the love of his life.
Fun Fact: in sicilian dialect the word caruso means (ragazzo) boy.
His reaction at the end is him coming out of the part he is playing in the opera . Vincero means I will win. So this is his look of determination of victory.
I just loved watching your reaction to this. And loved your description of his voice. Continue exploring different music genres.
I had a very similar reaction the first time I heard an aria. You wouldn't believe how long and how hard opera singers train. Pavarotti was one of the greats, for sure, and this opens up a whole new genre for you to explore.
