I was at this concert. It was in Dodger Stadium. Hollywood built a multi million dollar set at center field wall and they put seats on the entire grass. There were probably 75,000 people there. Listen to the applause. Front row was all the movie stars, Sinatra senators, the super wealthy from all over the world etc etc. It was the night before the World Cup Soccer finals at the Rose Bowl so it was an international audience . The LA philharmonic orchestra and chorus and Zubie were there. Pavarotti was the star of the show. It was the Three Tenors Concert before every World Cup . Placido Domingo , and Jose Carreras. But no one has/had a voice like Pavarotti. It is on DVD and worth the buy.

Makes me cry everytime. To know that there was another human being, a species to which we belong, could use his voice in song to lift himself and all those listening to a better place, even if only for a minute.
That's it right there for me too. I cry at the thought that a fellow human being created something that has the ability to evoke such emotion in any other human being who experiences it. It's literal magic.
I had never heard this or listened to Pavarotti before, have no idea what he is saying but it made me tear up a little for no reason i can fathom. Im a rock an roller, love my Beatles, Zeppelin, etc. but this is beautiful! What a voice , his expression at the end is priceless, just conveys passion for his art!
@@joaquinvargas3915 Total Zauberhaft. I have to agree with your reaction to this song. Had goosebumps covering my whole body. He was in another place when he delivered this song with so much emotion. Anyone listening had to be deeply affected. I know I was. It touched my soul.
Pavarotti once said of his own voice as a kiss from God and I agree. There will only be one Luciano Pavarotti like there will only be one Shirley Bassey !!

Truly a once in a century voice. I had the pleasure to see him live in Napoli in the 1990's. THE best voice I have heard in my almost 60 years on this earth. I Loved your reaction.

The most popular, not necessarily the best. There's a bunch of great tenors here on RUclips. I love Pavarotti, he had an incredibly powerful voice, but not the most beautiful. My favourite is Jussi Björling, who died in 1960.
@@kintsugi369 Don't be angry just because I told you about someone you didn't know. Btw, your opinion matters less than mine, because it's absurd. You can't tell who's the best in history, unless if you've been listening opera for centuries. But you and "millions peoples" haven't heard of any tenor but Pavarotti, that's often on TV.
I am now subscribed to your channel because you played one of my favorites of Pavarotti. Another beautiful song he does is ava Maria. Also it was in a movie called sum of all fears with Moran freeman and Ben Affleck.
This should be the worlds anthem. It doesn’t matter whether you understand the language or not, the emotion of this masterpiece transcends language, borders and differences.
Luciano always looks shocked after he hits those notes like he couldn't believe that he did it himself. He's the only tenor that brings tears to my eyes when he hits those notes. It hits you deep in your core
Really doesn't matter what he's singing....he could sing a cookbook and mesmerize you!!!🎶🎼🎵💜💜💜💜 He was a gift to the music world and gone before his time!!!
Hi. V here. In the early '90s as an African-American kid growing up in the inner city of St. Louis, MO I was a music fiend. I played trumpet in high school, honors music, jazz band and drum corps. I slept, drank, ate and woke up with music. Now, secretly I was in love with opera and I was in love with the master Luciano Pavarotti. I have the original PBS VHS tape of the first Three Tenors concern with conductor Zubin Mehta. You made a mistake when played this version. You need to REACT to the ORIGINAL CONCERT VERSION. This one was okay, but that's after 3 years of wear and tear on a world class throat from master classes and concerts and operas!! And he had been singing long before that. Fun fact: Pavarotti and me were both janitors before!!! Anyway, take it from me Ms. Lovely that you want to hear the first Three Tenors version. And next time don't bail out! Watch him and his eyes, posture and mouth. They speak one language: Perfection!
You can watch the opera and in the context of the story it's thrilling, because he'll be executed if he doesn't solve the riddle- here's a live clip (no microphones of course just proper vocal projection) ruclips.net/video/Q_hLh4qCqpg/видео.html
I'm so touched from your reaction. Your reaction is the sign of that greatness of the immense Composer Giacomo Puccini and One of his best interpreter, Maestro Pavarotti. Thank You for sharing this pure pearl of music, I Hope that l'ora of young people will start becoming furious about Opera and especially Puccini's music. Opera Is a countless treasure for humankind.
L'opera è fonte di Giacomo Puccini del 1922 era parte dell'opera della Turandot, completata dopo la morte di Puccini per un tumore alla gola. il testo è questo: Nessun dorma Nessun dorma Tu pure, oh 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, oh notte Tramontate, stelle Tramontate, stelle All'alba vincerò Vincerò Vincerò
There is no other rendition of this song except Pavarotti. He is matchless. By the way, here is what he is singing: Nobody shall sleep!... Nobody shall sleep! Even you, o Princess In your cold room Watch the stars That tremble with love and with hope But my secret is hidden within me My name no one shall know... No!...No!...On your mouth I will tell It when the light shines And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!... (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, oh 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, oh notte Tramontate, stelle Tramontate, stelle All'alba vincerò Vincerò Vincerò ‐---‐------------------------------------- No sleep! No sleep! You too, oh Princess In your cold room You look at the stars that tremble with love And of hope But my mystery is closed in me My name no one will know No, no, on your lips I will say it When the light will shine And my kiss will dissolve the silence That makes you mine Go away, oh night Go down, stars Go down, stars I'll win at dawn I will win I will win
Truly no better voice on this planet. I witnessed his greatness a few years before his death at what was the American Airlines Center in Dallas Texas in the early 2000s. I just can’t get over how special he is. The man was a gift from heaven.
Crazy!!!!!!! It's been 15 years since Luciano is gone but his voice will remain with us for eternity. A voice that made him the greatest, most immense, immeasurable, good in nature and character gave an example of behavior and professionalism that had no equal. Great Luciano, those who don't know you call you Pavarotti but for us you are Luciano. The greatest voice. Thanks for existing.
He was an international treasure. Pavarotti's voice was the most epic, jaw dropping, shiver inspiring, heart pounding voice ever to have walked the earth! Even though Puccini wrote this opera decades before Pavarotti performed, it seems to have been written especially for him to sing!
Puccini's masterpiece plus Pavarotti voice is the meaning of life explained through sound waves.. and if you understand the lyric as well the goose bumps will make you cry. Nice reaction, I like this woman! Ciao ciao Bella!
I grew up listening to this man... and I still get chills. This is from an opera - movies before there were movies. The delivery of that final 'Vincero' is done with such force because the character is showing pure determination. 'Vincero' translates to 'I will win'. If you learn the story, the words, and learn what he's saying - why he's saying it - you'll feel this even more.
The aria is from the Opera Tarundot by Italian composer Puccini. The opera is based on the story set in China about a beautiful BUT cold Princess Tarundot, daughter of Emperor Altoum, who has decreed that she will only marry if a suitor of noble blood can answer her 3 riddles! The catch is that there is a price to pay - if the suitor cannot answer all the 3 riddles correctly he will lose his head - beheaded! Then comes along this Persian Prince Calaf who falls in love with Princess Tarundot at first sight and wants to marry her. Calaf is one of three suitors for the picky Princess Turandot. Calaf passes the test by answering the 3 riddles correctly and wins Princess Tarundot hand in marriage but she refuses to marry him! As a weird sort of challenge, Calaf offers the Princess a way out that if Turandot can correctly guess his name, she may execute him but if she can’t, then she must marry him! The Princess accepts the challenge and decides that ‘Nobody to sleep’ (the literal translation of ‘Nessun dorma’) in the entire kingdom until Calaf’s name is discovered. If none of her subjects are able to come up with the correct name, all of them will be executed. The aria begins with Turandot’s proclamation that ‘Nobody to sleep’, and that’s where the tenor, Calaf, picks it up. The aria "Nessum Dorma" is sung in the third and final act as the sun is about to rise. The words "Nessum Dorma" means in latin 'nobody to sleep' and is a song that is sung by Calaf as he faces the possibility of death but in hope that he will win this challenge as his secret is with him! The last words of the aria is ...."All’alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!"... which means ...."at dawn I will win, I will win, I will win!".... I saw Pavarotti in concert in 1991 and he sang this aria - he literally woos you!
Only an artist and real art can generate such positive emotions, emotion and admiration for the beauty, voice and composer. Look at the painting of Caravagio, listen to Chopin, read Shekspir and compare them with contemporary art, which does not cause tears of admiration, delight and emotion in people, but embarrassment, anger and sometimes even vomiting, as it was for example in "Situationists". On the one hand, we are dealing with Latin culture, and on the other, with "progressive" anti-culture, which draws its roots from the critical theory of the Frankfurt school, where ugly is pretty, good is bad and vice versa - everything upside down
I was lucky enough to see Pavarotti live in Melbourne with 4000 other people and it was a magical night, the emotion in the audience when he performed Nessun Dorma was truly uplifting. Everyone that night left richer for the experience.
Nessun Dorma ( "no one sleeps") is an aria from Puccini's opera "Turandot", sung by all the great ( and near great ) opera stars (male and female)........this is probably the most moving rendition of all....R.I.P., Maestro Pavarotti......
Pavarotti was easily the greatest Tenor to ever live. There have been endless studies, theories, and experiments to try to figure out just what it was about him that made him so unbelievable. It's almost as though he were built by God SPECIFICALLY so that he could give this to mankind. I'm also a tenor (obviously nowhere NEAR Pavarotti) and every time I hear his voice it's like the rest of the world just melts away. His tone, his vibrato, the ease with which he can do almost anything he wants to with his voice...it's magical. So, SO glad to see younger folks such as yourself discovering and appreciating "the great one."
this song, maybe because I am a full-blooded Italian, always overwhelms my soul, and tears overflow fast! My whole body tremors from the emotions !!! Bravo! Benissimo!!!!!
Bit of geek knowledge here. This part of the performance is a little over 3 minutes long. That standing ovation you see starting at the end. That lasted over 20 minutes!!! But I do have some bad news. The Great Luciano is up in Heaven, but he isn't allowed to rest. God has him on a 2 century contract to teach the Angelic choir to sing with more power.
Pavarotti. The emotion, force, the minuscule pauses between the three vincero, the incomperable voice. And thank you, Puccini. Tears every time I hear him!
My Mom was an Opera singer in Holland, until the War took her carreer away. She pounded Opera/Big Band into me...and I thank her so much for that. I've seen Luciano twice here in Toronto. I just love watching your joy during this...your personality, and beauty is Amazing! Will you Marry me?
"This sounds like it should have been in a movie.." "A Disney movie.." With the greatest respect, young lady, this is some of the greatest opera ever written, performed by the finest tenor in history. It's not Disney.
Pavarotti is amazing. The man personifies Opera. Did you see that reaction at the end when he lets go of that last note as if he just projected his energy, his body just shook, wow, and then his facial expression when he was done.OMG! wow. The power of the human voice the frequency created to elevate everyone's vibration. That's a divine gift from an artist to his audience. Thanks for the reaction, that was great!
It's so nice to see such a lovely young lady like you appreciate this music. You'll keep this going on to future generations. I could listen to the every day. Never tire of it. It gets me so emotional that I cry and get goosebumps.
iI translate for You. No sleep! No sleep! You too, oh princess, In your cold room, Look at the stars Who tremble with love And of hope. But my mystery is closed in me, No one will know my name! No, no, I'll say it on your mouth When the light shines! And my kiss will dissolve the silence That makes you mine! Vanish, O night! Set, stars! Set, stars! I'll win at dawn! I will win, I will win!
to this day..years after his passing..i still cry to this...he was one if not the best....the world lost a great voice...but as long as his music exists and is heard by future generations...he will never be gone
Nobody and I mean nobody has your total abandonment in reacting to this video. It is just marvelous to behold. It always hits me the same way. Thanks so much.
This was used as the anthem for the World Cup in Italy 1990 and it went to number 1 in the charts here in the uk , the concert you see there is from the World Cup concert of 1990
You cannot improve on perfection, Pavarotti, Puccini, the orchestra and the conductor all came together and created something magical! RIP Luciano, you will be immortal!
Pavarotti had a beautiful lyric tenor voice. He was from Modena and his father was a tenor too singing together. This lucky Luciano had such a beautiful color of voice by birth. His mother told him to go professional. His technique is according to the Bel Canto even that way of singing is lost nowadays. Pavarotti was a great messenger of singing and opened that repertoire to the world. Your reaction video is a bit funny also Iike it because you show him to the younger generation. Even he was singing since childhood he practiced very many years to clear out that voice. In old times it took 8-12 years to learn, first working out the headvoice and then mix in messa di voce. Such a singing is not here these days but maybe comeback while some people kept the secrets about it. Sir Anthony Frisell from New York was maybe the last master to teach. .....🤗One heart sista🍀
This is wonderfully beautiful. Learn the words and most importantly the story of the opera and you will be even further moved. Please trust me. It’s one for the heart.
Hey young lady, I love watching everyone's expression when Luciano hits those final two "Vincera' " notes, I could tell by that gigantic smile on your face that you thought he had already done the most difficult notes in the verse prior to the choir break. It is priceless the way it catches every real first-time reactor exactly the same way. Like someone just fed your soul the best dessert ever.

By the way..... Your reactions are great and fun to watch. I had to subscribe! Looking forward to seeing more of them!

@@lfsg689 for me and millions peoples it's the best voice in the history... Your opinion doesn't matter...
@@kintsugi369 Don't be angry just because I told you about someone you didn't know. Btw, your opinion matters less than mine, because it's absurd. You can't tell who's the best in history, unless if you've been listening opera for centuries. But you and "millions peoples" haven't heard of any tenor but Pavarotti, that's often on TV.
@@lfsg689 I would agree with you here. He certainly brought opera to popularity but maybe not the best. Who can really say best? Favorite maybe
Caruso might beg to differ.
I cannot believe that you shared Pavarotti and Nessun Dorma with us. Fan of yours forever.
I am now subscribed to your channel because you played one of my favorites of Pavarotti. Another beautiful song he does is ava Maria. Also it was in a movie called sum of all fears with Moran freeman and Ben Affleck.
The song was in a movie Yes Georgio . Sung by Luciano Pavarotti himself .
When Pavarotti sung the Earth stopped spinning out of respect. 🥰
This should be the worlds anthem. It doesn’t matter whether you understand the language or not, the emotion of this masterpiece transcends language, borders and differences.
We played this music at our wedding! It had been a 30 yr journey to the altar so it was very fitting!
It's a song about a general who wants to win a battle the next day.
@@Christobanistan exactly
Probably the most beautiful piece in Western music.
@@steveandme63 You know it basically means "Ha! I get to rape you cus you didn't guess my name!", right?
Luciano always looks shocked after he hits those notes like he couldn't believe that he did it himself. He's the only tenor that brings tears to my eyes when he hits those notes. It hits you deep in your core
Dude was a rockstar of the operatic world. He was a God on Earth with his singing
That is totally true👍👍👍
I cry always hearing this x
This is the absolute best song ever recorded, I dare you to find another
Really doesn't matter what he's singing....he could sing a cookbook and mesmerize you!!!🎶🎼🎵💜💜💜💜 He was a gift to the music world and gone before his time!!!
a cookbook ? 😂 you are right
@@roncipriano8352 😉😉😉🤘🤘🤘
Indeed!
This is why i love Italy so much. The best singing performance you will ever experience. The man is a true legend
Hi. V here. In the early '90s as an African-American kid growing up in the inner city of St. Louis, MO I was a music fiend. I played trumpet in high school, honors music, jazz band and drum corps. I slept, drank, ate and woke up with music. Now, secretly I was in love with opera and I was in love with the master Luciano Pavarotti. I have the original PBS VHS tape of the first Three Tenors concern with conductor Zubin Mehta. You made a mistake when played this version. You need to REACT to the ORIGINAL CONCERT VERSION. This one was okay, but that's after 3 years of wear and tear on a world class throat from master classes and concerts and operas!! And he had been singing long before that. Fun fact: Pavarotti and me were both janitors before!!! Anyway, take it from me Ms. Lovely that you want to hear the first Three Tenors version. And next time don't bail out! Watch him and his eyes, posture and mouth. They speak one language: Perfection!
Still playing? Rough during Covid but hopefully things are opening up and you get out there!
You can watch the opera and in the context of the story it's thrilling, because he'll be executed if he doesn't solve the riddle- here's a live clip (no microphones of course just proper vocal projection) ruclips.net/video/Q_hLh4qCqpg/видео.html
Perfect reaction. Cheers from NZ..
I ALWAYS BAWL MY EYES OUT
luciano the italian pride. hello from italy
Italy should be proud of Luciano. Humanity should be proud of him
Respect.
THE MASTER !!!!🎵🎶🎵
He is the pride of humanity like Gagarin, O’Henry, Aivazovskiy, Leo Tolstoy, Leonardo da Vinci etc.
Thank god and the Italiens for brilliant music, what a poor life without. greetings from Denmark. -
I'm so touched from your reaction. Your reaction is the sign of that greatness of the immense Composer Giacomo Puccini and One of his best interpreter, Maestro Pavarotti. Thank You for sharing this pure pearl of music, I Hope that l'ora of young people will start becoming furious about Opera and especially Puccini's music. Opera Is a countless treasure for humankind.
thank you for watching 😊🙏🏽
Giacomo Puccini's "Nessun Dorma" interpreted by Luciano Pavarotti represents one of those peaks of expression that can define our species as "human".
Wow amazing comment.
Well said
L'opera è fonte di Giacomo Puccini del 1922 era parte dell'opera della Turandot, completata dopo la morte di Puccini per un tumore alla gola. il testo è questo: Nessun dorma
Nessun dorma
Tu pure, oh 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, oh notte
Tramontate, stelle
Tramontate, stelle
All'alba vincerò
Vincerò
Vincerò
There is no other rendition of this song except Pavarotti. He is matchless. By the way, here is what he is singing: Nobody shall sleep!...
Nobody shall sleep!
Even you, o Princess
In your cold room
Watch the stars
That tremble with love and with hope
But my secret is hidden within me
My name no one shall know...
No!...No!...On your mouth I will tell
It when the light shines
And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!...
(No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!
Thank you.
Welcome to the magical voice of the Maestro. Arguably, and in my opinion, the greatest tenor who ever lived.
When you sing with your soul, everyone can understand you regardless of language and your origin🌎🚀 🌠💫 ♥ ️
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, oh 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, oh notte
Tramontate, stelle
Tramontate, stelle
All'alba vincerò
Vincerò
Vincerò
‐---‐-------------------------------------
No sleep! No sleep!
You too, oh Princess
In your cold room
You look at the stars that tremble with love
And of hope
But my mystery is closed in me
My name no one will know
No, no, on your lips I will say it
When the light will shine
And my kiss will dissolve the
silence
That makes you mine
Go away, oh night
Go down, stars
Go down, stars
I'll win at dawn
I will win
I will win
Truly no better voice on this planet. I witnessed his greatness a few years before his death at what was the American Airlines Center in Dallas Texas in the early 2000s. I just can’t get over how special he is. The man was a gift from heaven.
Jussi Bjorling better
Crazy!!!!!!! It's been 15 years since Luciano is gone but his voice will remain with us for eternity. A voice that made him the greatest, most immense, immeasurable, good in nature and character gave an example of behavior and professionalism that had no equal. Great Luciano, those who don't know you call you Pavarotti but for us you are Luciano. The greatest voice. Thanks for existing.
My God. I love the way you feel the emotion, the power and the beauty. He was unmatched.
He was an international treasure. Pavarotti's voice was the most epic, jaw dropping, shiver inspiring, heart pounding voice ever to have walked the earth! Even though Puccini wrote this opera decades before Pavarotti performed, it seems to have been written especially for him to sing!
This is by far the greatest voice of modern times We may never see his like again
Gold reaction♥
Reminds of Italia 90- the best Summer
It is said that he saw God when he touched that last high note. Che Dio ti benedica, Luciano. You will be greatly missed.
No, he saw Barry Gibb.
Che (not que) is the right spelling.
@@lorellacurione2110 Thank you.
I absolutely love your reaction to this! So cool to see a new generation experience timeless classics.
she really enjoyed it,looks like she had a climax,good for you girl,have another. on luciano.
I first heard it 33years ago,at Italia 90....still chills my blood
The man.
Phil.
Your reaction to this makes me want to make us an espresso and give you a kiss. Beautiful reaction, my dear...as moving as the Beautiful Nessun Dorma.
Puccini's masterpiece plus Pavarotti voice is the meaning of life explained through sound waves.. and if you understand the lyric as well the goose bumps will make you cry.
Nice reaction, I like this woman! Ciao ciao Bella!
🙏🏽
The look in his eyes on the last note he sings always blows me away. Love from Australia.
Like he was thinking "YES! I did it!"
I grew up listening to this man... and I still get chills.
This is from an opera - movies before there were movies. The delivery of that final 'Vincero' is done with such force because the character is showing pure determination. 'Vincero' translates to 'I will win'.
If you learn the story, the words, and learn what he's saying - why he's saying it - you'll feel this even more.
I like how he starts by looking down then up just before he sings. As if to say 'God wants me to sing'.
thank you for this video. your comment was very great and your happyness and smile were wonderful !
This performance by Luciano Pavarotti is insane. I love it.
RogueRxyce the tone of your voice is so beautiful.
No telling how many times I've heard this performance. Every single time, it touches me.
The aria is from the Opera Tarundot by Italian composer Puccini. The opera is based on the story set in China about a beautiful BUT cold Princess Tarundot, daughter of Emperor Altoum, who has decreed that she will only marry if a suitor of noble blood can answer her 3 riddles! The catch is that there is a price to pay - if the suitor cannot answer all the 3 riddles correctly he will lose his head - beheaded!
Then comes along this Persian Prince Calaf who falls in love with Princess Tarundot at first sight and wants to marry her. Calaf is one of three suitors for the picky Princess Turandot. Calaf passes the test by answering the 3 riddles correctly and wins Princess Tarundot hand in marriage but she refuses to marry him! As a weird sort of challenge, Calaf offers the Princess a way out that if Turandot can correctly guess his name, she may execute him but if she can’t, then she must marry him!
The Princess accepts the challenge and decides that ‘Nobody to sleep’ (the literal translation of ‘Nessun dorma’) in the entire kingdom until Calaf’s name is discovered. If none of her subjects are able to come up with the correct name, all of them will be executed. The aria begins with Turandot’s proclamation that ‘Nobody to sleep’, and that’s where the tenor, Calaf, picks it up.
The aria "Nessum Dorma" is sung in the third and final act as the sun is about to rise. The words "Nessum Dorma" means in latin 'nobody to sleep' and is a song that is sung by Calaf as he faces the possibility of death but in hope that he will win this challenge as his secret is with him! The last words of the aria is ...."All’alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!"... which means ...."at dawn I will win, I will win, I will win!"....
I saw Pavarotti in concert in 1991 and he sang this aria - he literally woos you!
TURANDOT, please. You've misplaced the vowels.
Only an artist and real art can generate such positive emotions, emotion and admiration for the beauty, voice and composer. Look at the painting of Caravagio, listen to Chopin, read Shekspir and compare them with contemporary art, which does not cause tears of admiration, delight and emotion in people, but embarrassment, anger and sometimes even vomiting, as it was for example in "Situationists". On the one hand, we are dealing with Latin culture, and on the other, with "progressive" anti-culture, which draws its roots from the critical theory of the Frankfurt school, where ugly is pretty, good is bad and vice versa - everything upside down
I was lucky enough to see Pavarotti live in Melbourne with 4000 other people and it was a magical night, the emotion in the audience when he performed Nessun Dorma was truly uplifting. Everyone that night left richer for the experience.
I love your reactions, pure joy, good feelings. Your smile lightens de room. Don't change
🙏🏽
One of the most beautiful songs ever reacted to by one of the most beautiful women ever. Love it. Love you. Miss you. ♡♡♡
Il Maestro always had the power to move people to tears with that wonderful tenor voice.
Might suggest you have this sung to those who have experienced trauma.
Lady, I truly love your reaction, if I was in that opera house listening Pavaroti in person... i would react as you did
Nessun Dorma ( "no one sleeps") is an aria from Puccini's opera "Turandot", sung by all the great ( and near great ) opera stars (male and female)........this is probably the most moving rendition of all....R.I.P., Maestro Pavarotti......
Pavarotti was easily the greatest Tenor to ever live. There have been endless studies, theories, and experiments to try to figure out just what it was about him that made him so unbelievable. It's almost as though he were built by God SPECIFICALLY so that he could give this to mankind. I'm also a tenor (obviously nowhere NEAR Pavarotti) and every time I hear his voice it's like the rest of the world just melts away. His tone, his vibrato, the ease with which he can do almost anything he wants to with his voice...it's magical. So, SO glad to see younger folks such as yourself discovering and appreciating "the great one."
Throwing your hands in the air when he hits that last 'vincero' is a totally appropriate reaction to this wonderful piece of music.
Totally agree, best reaction ever
I watch this again every time it pops up in my feed just to enjoy your joyous reaction. :D
this song, maybe because I am a full-blooded Italian, always overwhelms my soul, and tears overflow fast! My whole body tremors from the emotions !!! Bravo! Benissimo!!!!!
No one can hold tears when they listen to this
nobody will ever sing this better than Luciano Pavarotti
That voice is straight from Heaven. God rest his soul. WOW.
It's said he's not among us anymore because God wanted his voice back.
Any Englishman over the age of about 35 will get very emotional about this song, it gives me shivers to this day.
Lol Italia '90 ⚽🏆 I remember it
@@natmanprime4295 It still hurts
Any English man between the age of 40 and 50
Bit of geek knowledge here. This part of the performance is a little over 3 minutes long. That standing ovation you see starting at the end. That lasted over 20 minutes!!!
But I do have some bad news. The Great Luciano is up in Heaven, but he isn't allowed to rest. God has him on a 2 century contract to teach the Angelic choir to sing with more power.
It's ALWAYS that first note he sings that gets 'em EVERY TIME!!!!
So true!
I listened to this before every law school final and the bar exam. This will transport you to a world where all is right.
Pavarotti was in a class by himself. Just discovered you, Rogue. Absolutely beautiful!
They called him the King of the High C's for a reason. 😉
My heart swells at the crescendo.
Pavarotti. The emotion, force, the minuscule pauses between the three vincero, the incomperable voice. And thank you, Puccini. Tears every time I hear him!
My Mom was an Opera singer in Holland, until the War took her carreer away. She pounded Opera/Big Band into me...and I thank her so much for that. I've seen Luciano twice here in Toronto. I just love watching your joy during this...your personality, and beauty is Amazing! Will you Marry me?
"This sounds like it should have been in a movie.." "A Disney movie.." With the greatest respect, young lady, this is some of the greatest opera ever written, performed by the finest tenor in history. It's not Disney.
You are right, but she is giving a compliment. At least she recognizes the quality.
You talking shit about Disney ? Who hurt you?
I thought that too but hey, she is reacting to this now and has enriched herself
@@scootsmcdoots80 stfu kid, this is opera, not disney, he's right
This has been in about 75 movies🤦🏽♂️
Pavarotti is amazing. The man personifies Opera. Did you see that reaction at the end when he lets go of that last note as if he just projected his energy, his body just shook, wow, and then his facial expression when he was done.OMG! wow. The power of the human voice the frequency created to elevate everyone's vibration. That's a divine gift from an artist to his audience. Thanks for the reaction, that was great!
It's called emotional resonance! It's part of the human species a gift from God!
your reaction is priceless 💥
Uma pessoa coloca um cantor fantástico, fica fazendo caras e bocas, comentários, e ainda ganha di nheiro, com likes e visualizações.
It's so nice to see such a lovely young lady like you appreciate this music. You'll keep this going on to future generations.
I could listen to the every day. Never tire of it. It gets me so emotional that I cry and get goosebumps.
It brings me JOY to see you hearing this MIRACLE for the first time. There is hope for humanity. LOVE you sister!
The next time someone refers to Kanye West as a 'genius', show them this.
Of the songs Luciano performed, how many of them did he write and produce?
At 4:58 the happiness in your face as you felt that…a beautiful thing. That’s what music can do. Thank you for sharing your journey.
With that smile anything can be forgiven...
iI translate for You.
No sleep!
No sleep!
You too, oh princess,
In your cold room,
Look at the stars
Who tremble with love
And of hope.
But my mystery is closed in me,
No one will know my name!
No, no, I'll say it on your mouth
When the light shines!
And my kiss will dissolve the silence
That makes you mine!
Vanish, O night!
Set, stars!
Set, stars!
I'll win at dawn!
I will win, I will win!
Mindblowing.the greatest piece of music ever performed in history by the greatest tenor that ever lived
how his voice opens up just before he goes into the last note is phenomenal.
to this day..years after his passing..i still cry to this...he was one if not the best....the world lost a great voice...but as long as his music exists and is heard by future generations...he will never be gone
It's Puccini. The opera is called "Turandot", and Luciano Pavarotti is the best tenor to ever live. ❤
Nobody and I mean nobody has your total abandonment in reacting to this video. It is just marvelous to behold. It always hits me the same way. Thanks so much.
This was used as the anthem for the World Cup in Italy 1990 and it went to number 1 in the charts here in the uk , the concert you see there is from the World Cup concert of 1990
You cannot improve on perfection, Pavarotti, Puccini, the orchestra and the conductor all came together and created something magical! RIP Luciano, you will be immortal!
Yes wonderful musicians
Pavarotti had a beautiful lyric tenor voice.
He was from Modena and his father was a tenor too singing together. This lucky Luciano had such a beautiful color of voice by birth. His mother told him to go professional. His technique is according to the Bel Canto even that way of singing is lost nowadays. Pavarotti was a great messenger of singing and opened that repertoire to the world.
Your reaction video is a bit funny also Iike it because you show him to the younger generation.
Even he was singing since childhood he practiced very many years to clear out that voice. In old times it took 8-12 years to learn, first working out the headvoice and then mix in messa di voce. Such a singing is not here these days but maybe comeback while some people kept the secrets about it. Sir Anthony Frisell from New York was maybe the last master to teach. .....🤗One heart sista🍀
This is wonderfully beautiful. Learn the words and most importantly the story of the opera and you will be even further moved. Please trust me. It’s one for the heart.
I saw Luciano sing Nessun Dorma LIVE, at the Three Tenors concert in Miami. Otherworldly.
Hey young lady, I love watching everyone's expression when Luciano hits those final two "Vincera' " notes, I could tell by that gigantic smile on your face that you thought he had already done the most difficult notes in the verse prior to the choir break. It is priceless the way it catches every real first-time reactor exactly the same way. Like someone just fed your soul the best dessert ever.
