You can listen to this exciting performance by Luciano 1000 times, but every time it gives you chills and goosebumps. Immense. We miss you so much, Luciano!!!
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.
this was hands-down one of the most outstanding performances in the entire history of music. period. i watched the whole concert many times over the years, and i still tear up every single time i listen to this one piece. it is so beautiful to see it being discovered by a whole new audience.
I have rejoiced to see you young guys discovering the amazing range of genius singers and musicians we have or had in the world. This is many peoples favourite operatic song sung by Pavarotti the worlds greatest ever tenor. I want to cry every time I hear him sing it, his voice was glorious- a gift from God. Don’t be ashamed to cry! How often do u hear angels sing??♥️
Hello, My mother before she died she would tell me that when she was a little girl ,her father would take her to the opera in New York City (She was from Brooklyn ,) she was Italian so they knew the word's She would never forget those days! She always wanted to see Luciano Pavarotti in concert I would tell her we would one day! I never did . Your reactions are Wonderful !
Look up Jussi Björling. (From the gramaphone site in the UK) 'When anyone asks me to give an example of a perfectly controlled tenor voice I always mention Luciano Pavarotti and Jussi Björling. It is not a surprise that Pavarotti himself wrote that he modelled his career on the great Swedish tenor. (My comments here:-->) I was quite fortunate to grow up listening to opera as my father (1st generation - Sicily) would play his father's vinyl copies of the Italian opera treasures on Sundays before dinner. My father loved Jussi Björling and Richard Tucker and would explain the lyrics to me as operas tell stories, sometimes romantic, sometimes tragic and sometimes a bit violent but always powerful stories. Thanks for your sincere reaction video! BTW, I was enormously blessed in my late teens and decades to follow to be able to hear and see this gentle giant of opera perform live in many operas and concerts. Just disappointed I did not keep all of those programs and tickets receipts for posterity. There is so much video of Pavarotti on line about his life, family and gentle nature. I could watch these reaction videos until I close my eyes forever. Such a gift for me to see others discover and embrace God's gift of Pavarotti to us all!
How you are shaking with the last high C says it all. :) Your soul has been shaken in that moment. I feel the same way every single time i hear it. It does always make me cry. ALWAYS.
This Is the magic of music. Luciano Pavarotti was a real superstar and for many years he sang at the Metropolitan Opera of New York. The song "nessun dorma" Is from the incompleted opera Turandot of Giacomo Puccini, who died before finishing this masterpiece. To love this song It Is not necessary to have an operistic culture and you don't Need ti understand the words. I understand the text of the song, and It Is very omantic. I'm half italian and my Mom (who's german) was a young soprano and she Is still singing at 71 years. I learnt from my Mom to listen all kind of music and this a great gift she gave me. Go on listening. Greetings from Italy.
You're memory is correct, it was used during the 1990 World Cup soccer and in 2006 in the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. And yes, you don't need to understand the lyrics here to feel the emotion... that is universal... love your hinest reaction.
Nessun dorma!... (Nobody shall sleep!...) Nessun dorma! (Nobody shall sleep!) 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 none 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!)
The very best tenor to ever have lived and here he is singing the epitome of tenor arias. Flawless, with power and passion as only this man could achieve. His expression at the conclusion shows just how moved he was to share his gift with all who would listen. Bravo & thank you for sharing.
Hi, I'm Italian and I came across this video by chance. The language is Italian and he was and will be a legend and among the Italians proud as well as the piece taken from Puccini's Turandot. I really like your genuine and true reaction, and it is admirable your humility in noting your ignorance. We are all very small and ignorant but we believe we are breaking the world. Then we happen to listen to Pure Beauty and all of a sudden it makes sense because Art reveals the soul.
Adding to my prayers daily, is that our young people will explore all of the music in our background and enjoy all of the beauties of the music God has given us.
Heard it hundreds of times. He is no longer with us... but for his amazing recordings. He is my favorite. I cry EVERY time; literally takes my breath. Only part of a passionate opera story. You MUST get an English translation to grasp the full emotion and follow as he sings.
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 in italian and boy in english.
Mad respect for being man enough to call yourself out. I really felt a lot of the same things you were feeling when I listened to it the first time. I had "heard" it probably a dozen times or so in the background but I never "listened" to it. But when I actually listened, changed the way I hear music.
He was the best operatic tenor EVER. He was the master. Also listen to Andrea Bocelli...he does a divine duet with Celine Dion. I'm glad Pavarotti touched you. Sadly he passed at age 71 from pancreatic cancer. RIP Angel.
I love watching first timers! I can hear this 1000s if times and get chills every time. I grew up with this, beethoven and mozart etc., , but i play keyboards in a rock band.
I am inpressed with your honesty and reactions. Pavarotti has been a favorite of mine over the many years of my life. Seeing your video today reminded me...
Thank you for your amazing reaction. Yes, the voice is from heaven. Pavarotti is arguably the greatest tenor and you should find more to watch. Bless you and welcome to the wonderful world of opera
Great video, your reaction was really precious and genuine, which is why I particularly appreciated it! Yes, you are right, this clip is from The Three Tenors concert in Los Angeles in 1994, after the FIFA World Cup final match. As an Italian, and with a father who loved opera and Pavarotti so much, I was lucky to grow up listening to him. He really was one of a kind, and “Nessun Dorma” keeps moving me to tears and giving me shivers, even though I listened to it a thousand times. And Pavarotti + Puccini really are a match made in heaven. ❤
The exactly right reaction - speechlessness, disbelief that it could exist, tears, joy. The perfect union of voice and piece, Pavarotti and Puccini's Nessun Dorma.
Truly great music transports us from this place called earth to a wholly other dimension. It gives us that sense of pure joy that touching the angels must be like!
Darling, you are learning about all the beauty that is out there, and you will keep discovering new joys, and lead others to them. Bless your journey. You will hear others just as inspiring.
Great Reaction! Also being ignorant about music, I think I can be accurate in saying you're right, this is the bar. There are others that produce emotion and powerful performances. But who is so technically polished with no reliance on that? Every sound optimized. But his heart and soul carrying the load. Moves me every time. I appreciate good reactions. Your reaction sets a bar too. Good and humble reaction.
Your listening was so attentive and respectful. It seems like you went deeply into yourself and also outwardly into the sublime. I enjoyed your commentary.
Hello, I just watch your reaction to this, and it was wonderful. If you are still interested in more or are still doing reaction videos I have a great one for you to react to, look up Luciano Pavarotti singing A mes amis from the opera La fille de régiment also look up Joan Sutherland she is a Soprano she sang many times with him and also has a voice. Hope to see more videos of you they are great.
Does just not get better than this! Tears, every time...every time... Love your reaction! I heard it also, lying in our house, when my parents was alive... Always gave me goosebumps and tears, even then...
Mate how in heavens name do you not know Pavarotti, the greatest Tenor ever, and the greatest loss when we lost him. Can I make a suggestion play Nessie Dorma in a quiet room only by yourself, then watch his preparation for the song that he make. It is pure perfection.
This is another of the few songs that still ALWAYS give me goosebumps. The other traditional opera song that does it to me is La Mamma Morta by Maria Callas (also found on the ‘Philadelphia’ soundtrack, I think). I would definitely recommend trying that one.
Pavarotti died in 2007. He was one of the best tenors ever. My advise is to read the translated lyrics. There's great meaning in these songs. You can now say you've listen to the very best tenors ever to walk the earth.
I'm so happy that you love it because that means it touches you. He has a wanderer who has come into town and the empress wants to know who he is but no one knows he never said his name. Her decree is that no one sleeps through the night and if no one discovers his name they will all be put to death. When the chorus sings no one will come forth and we will all die but they're doing it so beautifully. I've heard this so many times and it always moves me
Opera is a totally Italian genre. Music, words, singer. There were singers almost as good as Pavarotti. But he's number one. This music touches the depths of everyone's soul.
Really honest reaction. Lovely that it moved and shocked you. I've been listening to it for decades, it never fails. Still truly amazing after all these years. Good luck and happy new year. Health and happiness.
Your first comment about infinite ignorance shows that even though that's true of all of us, you're more educated than a lot of people. Loved this reaction bro, I been watching reactions to this non-stop and my goosebumps don't know what's going on haha
The last word of this Aria...Vincero, meaning "I will win". Great story he tells. Nessun Dorma. It must be heard....this story makes this Aria so much more powerful.
I'm a big fan of this recording for the inspiration it gives me. So sometimes I listen to it 3 or 4 different reactions of this song every once in a while. I've seen a reaction to this recording quite a few times. But I've never seen one as truthful and heartfelt as that one. Thank you.
You are NOT ignorant, at all. You are exploring music! That makes you a genius! Keep digging. You will find gems, and they are awesome... As a trained musician myself, I find it interesting that music can communicate even if you don't understand the language, and even if there is no singing at all. Try Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, the "Pathetique". It is a prime example. I heard it live once and I was off my game for three days...
First, my name is Mark and the picture is of my wife Marta...she has played piano concertos with full orchestras for over a decade and she is the one who introduced me to classical music and opera. This may sound strange but it is what I believe and there are many examples and evidence pointing to such. Music is God's language and somewhere deep if we really listen, most all can sense what it means. If someone just spoke the words in Italian perhaps only a few would understand, but the music...THIS MUSIC, makes you understand that somehow love is involved in some dire situation...and a sensitive human will feel it to the depths of their being! Obviously you are given that ability! Let me try to give a short picture of the story behind the opera, Turandot. "Nessun Dorma" English: "Let no one sleep" is an aria from the final act of Puccini's opera and one of the best-known tenor arias in all opera. It is sung by Calaf, who falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but cold Princess Turandot. Any man who wishes to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles; if he fails, he will be beheaded. In the second act Calaf has answered her riddles correctly but she hesitates at the thought of marriage to him so he offers one last chance for her to avoid marriage. She can execute him if she correctly guesses his name by morning; but if she does not, she must marry him. The cruel and emotionally cold princess then decrees that none of her subjects shall sleep that night until his name is discovered. If they fail, all will be killed. In this aria, Calaf is alone in the moonlit palace gardens and expresses his triumphant assurance that he will win the princess. Puccini's and Pavarotti's most well known masterpiece! Franco Corelli was a little before Pavarotti but was truly amazing tenor also! here is a decent translation and will give you a sense of the mood: None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Not even you, oh Princess, in your cold bedroom, watching the stars that tremble with love, and with hope! But my secret is hidden within me; no one will know my name! No, no! On your mouth, I will say it when the light shines! And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine! Just before the climactic end, a chorus of women is heard singing in the distance: No one will know his name, and we will have to, alas, die, die! Calaf, now certain of victory, sings: Vanish, o night! Fade, you stars! Fade, you stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! Thank you for the wonderful reaction!!!
You can listen to this exciting performance by Luciano 1000 times, but every time it gives you chills and goosebumps. Immense. We miss you so much, Luciano!!!
Someone asked just the other day “Have you ever heard a piece of music so beautiful it moved you to tears?” Yes- and you listened to it here.
Yes
Agree!! This hit it for me
Yes!!
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.
He passed in 2007 at the age of 71 from pancreatic cancer. His wealth of music keeps him alive for me. I listen to him everyday.
God, but I miss him.
Me too he makes the blood keep flowing
The last public thing he did was singing this piece in the Olympics in Torino 2006, he cried in the "Vincero", he knew this was the end.
@ merrilyn hunt......have you ever heard the tenor Dimash Kudaibergen? . He calls his style Neo- classic. Let me know what you think, ok? 👍😄
HE MAKES US ITALIANS VERY PROUD
you had the most educated and sincere reaction I have seen.
Cheers from Italy.
Thank you so much my friend
this reaction was amazing!
Ciao from Chicago
this was hands-down one of the most outstanding performances in the entire history of music. period. i watched the whole concert many times over the years, and i still tear up every single time i listen to this one piece. it is so beautiful to see it being discovered by a whole new audience.
The most beautiful voice and a gift straight from Heaven
JIM DONNELLY.....have you ever listened to Dimash Kudaibergen ? Check out his YT channel. Let me know what you think, ok?
Such a genuine reaction, and yes it was the theme of the 1990 World Cup.
I have rejoiced to see you young guys discovering the amazing range of genius singers and musicians we have or had in the world. This is many peoples favourite operatic song sung by Pavarotti the worlds greatest ever tenor. I want to cry every time I hear him sing it, his voice was glorious- a gift from God.

She always wanted to see Luciano Pavarotti in concert I would tell her we would one day! I never did . Your reactions are Wonderful !
You will shed a tear every time you hear it. I’ve listened a hundred times. I’ve shed a tear a hundred times
EVERYBODY remains speechless after hearing this... but endless tears
Look up Jussi Björling. (From the gramaphone site in the UK) 'When anyone asks me to give an example of a perfectly controlled tenor voice I always mention Luciano Pavarotti and Jussi Björling.

Your tear shed is not wasted mate. It’s just amazing music.
The language is Italian... you are in front of the best couple in opera music: Puccini (composer) and Pavarotti (tenor).
And one of the greatest conductors! (Zubin Mehta!)
What a win double!! 🇮🇹🎶
Listen to Luciano and James Brown It's a man's man's world...fantastic!❤
This Is the magic of music. Luciano Pavarotti was a real superstar and for many years he sang at the Metropolitan Opera of New York.

Great and honest reaction, brother! That performance is almost beyond description.
I appreciate it!
I'd go so far as to say that this will be the finest singing any human will ever do, ever.
Puccini’s music always brings me to tears!!! He was a wonderful composer!
You're memory is correct, it was used during the 1990 World Cup soccer and in 2006 in the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.
And yes, you don't need to understand the lyrics here to feel the emotion... that is universal... love your hinest reaction.
When it touches you deep in the core of your being, it resonates with the truly human part of all of us. It touched you Dr G
Nessun dorma!... (Nobody shall sleep!...)
Nessun dorma! (Nobody shall sleep!)

Pavarotti was the GREATEST voice of our time.
If you enjoyed this, listen to "Caruso" sung by Luciano Pavarotti. Exquisite!
My favorite
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 in italian and boy in english.
I was lucky to hear this growing up. He's unique for sure. As far as I know, the best singer ever.
Mad respect for being man enough to call yourself out. I really felt a lot of the same things you were feeling when I listened to it the first time. I had "heard" it probably a dozen times or so in the background but I never "listened" to it. But when I actually listened, changed the way I hear music.
Showing such humbleness, and admitting one's own ignorance is a great sign of wisdom. Bless you man. Keep it real!
He was the best operatic tenor EVER. He was the master. Also listen to Andrea Bocelli...he does a divine duet with Celine Dion. I'm glad Pavarotti touched you. Sadly he passed at age 71 from pancreatic cancer. RIP Angel.
Loved you acknowledge the ignorance you feel about this piece of music. It’s so beautiful and once you stumble upon the performance it humbles you
I love watching first timers! I can hear this 1000s if times and get chills every time. I grew up with this, beethoven and mozart etc., , but i play keyboards in a rock band.
His performance is powerfully FIERCE and DRAMATIC!
I believe God speaks to people's hearts through music
That comment hit me hard! Than you so much.
NOW THAT IS MUSIC!! THE HIGHEST LEVEL REACES INTO YOUR HEART!!
It’s a truly beautiful thing to see Pavarotti hit someone in the soul for the first time, such an honest reaction, wonderful
I am inpressed with your honesty and reactions. Pavarotti has been a favorite of mine over the many years of my life. Seeing your video today reminded me...
Thank you for your amazing reaction. Yes, the voice is from heaven. Pavarotti is arguably the greatest tenor and you should find more to watch. Bless you and welcome to the wonderful world of opera
Your genuine reaction is priceless thats the Pavarrotti effect to the soul.
The best singer in the world
Your raaction is the best I ever seen about this. Thank you for it.
That’s such a heavy compliment. Thank you so much
Listen to his Avo Maria...just as beautiful..but with his Nissun Dorma, I always just cry..
Lol “there’s no…there’s no LIMIT to my ignorance” was NOT what I expected u to say & I’ll admit - I subscribed bc of this reaction.🤘 Well done.
This has got to be the hands down best rendition of this I have ever heard!
Great video, your reaction was really precious and genuine, which is why I particularly appreciated it!
Yes, you are right, this clip is from The Three Tenors concert in Los Angeles in 1994, after the FIFA World Cup final match.
As an Italian, and with a father who loved opera and Pavarotti so much, I was lucky to grow up listening to him. He really was one of a kind, and “Nessun Dorma” keeps moving me to tears and giving me shivers, even though I listened to it a thousand times. And Pavarotti + Puccini really are a match made in heaven. ❤
Look up the lyrics in English! Totally worth it! Loved this! THANKS!
The exactly right reaction - speechlessness, disbelief that it could exist, tears, joy. The perfect union of voice and piece, Pavarotti and Puccini's Nessun Dorma.
I don't want to put you in place but I'm close to become 63 years young and only this kind of music kept me from ever growing old.
I have never listened to this wherever i have been without feeling emotional never.....
Truly great music transports us from this place called earth to a wholly other dimension. It gives us that sense of pure joy that touching the angels must be like!
No he died some years back, but his tenor voice cant be match'd bar none. Hes voice still brings me to tears.
Darling, you are learning about all the beauty that is out there, and you will keep discovering new joys, and lead others to them. Bless your journey. You will hear others just as inspiring.
Pavarotti immenso !! il più grande tenore di tutti i tempi !!! Ascolto pavarotti da quando ero bambino ed ogni volta mi commuovo 😊
Great Reaction! Also being ignorant about music, I think I can be accurate in saying you're right, this is the bar. There are others that produce emotion and powerful performances. But who is so technically polished with no reliance on that? Every sound optimized. But his heart and soul carrying the load. Moves me every time. I appreciate good reactions. Your reaction sets a bar too. Good and humble reaction.
I totally agree
Your listening was so attentive and respectful. It seems like you went deeply into yourself and also outwardly into the sublime. I enjoyed your commentary.
Thank you for your amazing insight and kind words.
Bless you. It's all out there for you. Explore and enjoy.
Hello, I just watch your reaction to this, and it was wonderful. If you are still interested in more or are still doing reaction videos I have a great one for you to react to, look up Luciano Pavarotti singing A mes amis from the opera La fille de régiment also look up Joan Sutherland she is a Soprano she sang many times with him and also has a voice. Hope to see more videos of you they are great.
Does just not get better than this! Tears, every time...every time... Love your reaction!
I heard it also, lying in our house, when my parents was alive... Always gave me goosebumps and tears, even then...
Give Yourself credit for embarking on this musical journey. ☺️🎶
Mate how in heavens name do you not know Pavarotti, the greatest Tenor ever, and the greatest loss when we lost him. Can I make a suggestion play Nessie Dorma in a quiet room only by yourself, then watch his preparation for the song that he make. It is pure perfection.
A God given gift!
SIIIIIIIII (YESSSSSS)....ITALIANO 100% remember, BY BY fom ITALY.
Yes you are right he did sing this at the world cup.
Hands down, the best reaction and most honest assessment I've heard from anyone on RUclips reactions!
Such very kind words. Thank you so much!
Chills and goosebumps every single time.... such power, control and tenderness.
He is the greatest singer of our time. He asks us to trust him and takes us on a journey of seduction. His voice massages the entire body and soul.
This is another of the few songs that still ALWAYS give me goosebumps. The other traditional opera song that does it to me is La Mamma Morta by Maria Callas (also found on the ‘Philadelphia’ soundtrack, I think). I would definitely recommend trying that one.
Pavarotti died in 2007. He was one of the best tenors ever. My advise is to read the translated lyrics. There's great meaning in these songs. You can now say you've listen to the very best tenors ever to walk the earth.
I'm so happy that you love it because that means it touches you.
He has a wanderer who has come into town and the empress wants to know who he is but no one knows he never said his name. Her decree is that no one sleeps through the night and if no one discovers his name they will all be put to death. When the chorus sings no one will come forth and we will all die but they're doing it so beautifully. I've heard this so many times and it always moves me
I love your comment about ignorance. That's humility. 👍
He was the GOAT !!!!!
absolutely loved your reaction to this ..dont matter what kind of music you listen to WOW!!!!
Opera is a totally Italian genre. Music, words, singer. There were singers almost as good as Pavarotti. But he's number one. This music touches the depths of everyone's soul.
He does that to all of us trust me
Genuine reaction which is great to see. This performance brings me to tears always.
Thank you for your lovely remarks after hearing him.
Talent is the wrong word..SKILLS us more like it
I am so happy for you to be on this journey of discovery ♥
Just subscribed. I believe Luciano passed away in 2007. He was one for the ages!! Greatly missed. You would enjoy his perfornance of "Carouso".
Really honest reaction.
Lovely that it moved and shocked you.
I've been listening to it for decades, it never fails. Still truly amazing after all these years.
Good luck and happy new year. Health and happiness.
There's no words to Pavarottis voice is there?
Your first comment about infinite ignorance shows that even though that's true of all of us, you're more educated than a lot of people. Loved this reaction bro, I been watching reactions to this non-stop and my goosebumps don't know what's going on haha
the word you are thinking of is superb ,brilliant ,fantastic
The last word of this Aria...Vincero, meaning "I will win". Great story he tells. Nessun Dorma. It must be heard....this story makes this Aria so much more powerful.
I'm a big fan of this recording for the inspiration it gives me. So sometimes I listen to it 3 or 4 different reactions of this song every once in a while. I've seen a reaction to this recording quite a few times. But I've never seen one as truthful and heartfelt as that one. Thank you.
I've seen a few Pavarotti reaction before but yours stood out. Bravo for showing your heartfelt reactions. Looking forward to seeing more.

You are NOT ignorant, at all. You are exploring music! That makes you a genius! Keep digging. You will find gems, and they are awesome... As a trained musician myself, I find it interesting that music can communicate even if you don't understand the language, and even if there is no singing at all. Try Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, the "Pathetique". It is a prime example. I heard it live once and I was off my game for three days...
First, my name is Mark and the picture is of my wife Marta...she has played piano concertos with full orchestras for over a decade and she is the one who introduced me to classical music and opera. This may sound strange but it is what I believe and there are many examples and evidence pointing to such. Music is God's language and somewhere deep if we really listen, most all can sense what it means. If someone just spoke the words in Italian perhaps only a few would understand, but the music...THIS MUSIC, makes you understand that somehow love is involved in some dire situation...and a sensitive human will feel it to the depths of their being! Obviously you are given that ability! Let me try to give a short picture of the story behind the opera, Turandot. "Nessun Dorma" English: "Let no one sleep" is an aria from the final act of Puccini's opera and one of the best-known tenor arias in all opera. It is sung by Calaf, who falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but cold Princess Turandot. Any man who wishes to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles; if he fails, he will be beheaded. In the second act Calaf has answered her riddles correctly but she hesitates at the thought of marriage to him so he offers one last chance for her to avoid marriage. She can execute him if she correctly guesses his name by morning; but if she does not, she must marry him. The cruel and emotionally cold princess then decrees that none of her subjects shall sleep that night until his name is discovered. If they fail, all will be killed. In this aria, Calaf is alone in the moonlit palace gardens and expresses his triumphant assurance that he will win the princess. Puccini's and Pavarotti's most well known masterpiece! Franco Corelli was a little before Pavarotti but was truly amazing tenor also!
here is a decent translation and will give you a sense of the mood:
None shall sleep! None shall sleep!
Not even you, oh Princess,
in your cold bedroom,
watching the stars
that tremble with love, and with hope!
But my secret is hidden within me;
no one will know my name!
No, no! On your mouth,
I will say it when the light shines!
And my kiss will dissolve
the silence that makes you mine!
Just before the climactic end, a chorus of women is heard singing in the distance:
No one will know his name,
and we will have to, alas, die, die!
Calaf, now certain of victory, sings:
Vanish, o night!
Fade, you stars!
Fade, you stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win! I will win!
Thank you for the wonderful reaction!!!
