I am an italian musician and i played with him in Itay for 30 years ago in a concert outdoor. The reaction of the public, almost 100.000 people, was the same than you. Tears of greatness for the music and the voice, perfect mix. We did this song 4 times more.
Wow you must be a great musician to play with Luciana Pavarotti!!! What an honor! I teared up too. When I hear very beautiful classical music I feel like a bit of heaven was allowed down on earth for us to enjoy. Kathy from philadelphia
I had concert tickets to see Pavarotti perform one fall. Months earlier he announced he had cancer, and ended up dying. It was the concert I always wanted to go to, that I never got to see. I still have my ticket.
Lol....only of you're a sheep and a follower of the crowd. I've been listening to Opera for 20 years. Been to London, Berlin and Rome. And without a doubt, Franco Corelli is the greatest tenor of all time and Pav even admitted it himself.
The lyrics talks about the princess Turandot and the "unknow prince". The prince gave to her one last riddle to solve: knowing his name before the dawn comes. If she will, he will be killed, but if she fails she'll marry him. So the princess gave order to servitude to stay awake all night long, trying to find the prince's name. Litterally "nessun dorma" in italian means "no one will sleep". And my favorite passage: "Tramontate stelle, all'alba vincerò" (Set, stars! At dawn I will win) celebrate this great poem of triumph. Sorry for my rusty english, and greetings from Italy 😉😘
As someone who listens to thrash metal (Metallica, Slayer etc), one cannot but feel in awe at Pavarotti's voice. This song alone sends chills down my spine and is truly phenomenal!
SO glad that this was the performance selected. I and my parents were HUGE Pavarotti fans and I was fortunate to see him perform multiple times. This was an absolutely extraordinary human talent. In this performance and in this song, when I had the great privilege to actually meet him face to face in Hartford, CT, I wanted to know the answer to one question. “Mr. Pavarotti.” Looked right at me and said, “Please, Luciano.” “Luciano sir, I caught something in your expression at the close of the Nessun dorma at the Turandot performance that I have never seen before watching you. But I think I know what it was. I just wanted to know from you if I was right.” He shot back a HUGE perfect Pavarotti grin and said in that thick accent, “Do I really need to say the words? You my friend heard it too. I actually felt it very deeply and I was very proud. Like a child amazed at my victory. Thank you very much for asking. Did I answer it for you?” “Without question. Thank you Luciano.” I didn’t extend my hand because I knew about his issue with germs at the time. HE, extended his out to me to shake and that drew some serious looks, lol. That was a moment I will never forget. Just perfect. If you are not clear on what it was I saw, take a look at the raw and genuinely intense look of almost astonishment on his face after the closing note of the performance of Nessun dorma. He absolutely knew that he nailed that performance with the most perfect dynamic intensity he had ever achieved performing it and as it came to a close the emotional tone in his eyes was SO instinctively rare for that guy because he could do that song seemingly perfect in his sleep. BUT, there was something in the air and my guess personally was that every other musician in the ensemble had absolutely NAILED every note and emotional intention perfectly. Being a man that would never be less than as perfect as his supporting ensemble, he was pressed to absolute perfection and pulled it off brilliantly. It obviousLy shocked him a bit, but he recognized clearly what he just did and confirmed it for me with his answer. It was obvious and he appreciated that it didn’t get past someone. Friggin awesome moment. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Mr. Pavarotti took the gift that God gave him and Blessed us with it. This is what we are all meant to do, but so few of us do. In my opinion, it is one of the basic reasons why we see so much trouble and turmoil in our world. My prayer is that every one of us human beings will find that God given gift and nurture it to become a Blessing to ourselves and everyone around us. Peace.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Pavarotti is for Italians a true iconic everlasting national monument. Somehow he manages to express to the entire world how we feel about art, and that is why we are so thankful he is part of our history. The present is used on purpose because Pavarotti will live forever.
Thank you for sharing your authentic reaction here. Pavarotti really is one of the most beautiful voices to have visited the human experience. Puccini was an awesome composer.
Really now ? I am not saying he wasn't good or he didn't deserve the recognition he had but have you ever heard the name Andrea Bocelli ??? Just check him out and then we talk ! :)
@@Ignasimp your opinion is noted, however i disagree with you whatsoever. I don't know the reason you say that and honestly i couldn't care less about it. You are either musically deaf or there is some weird motivation behind it.
@@georgeisaak5321 Andrea Bocelli doesn't even have opera technique. He is way too light. He has not properly developed chestvocie. His is breathy and raspy. He needs artificial amplification. He only got famous because he is blind because as an opera singer, he id terrible. As a pop singer he is passable because todays pop singing is really bad. You really have no clue about opera if you think Bocelli is anywere near being an opera singer. Yet you have the nerve to say I'm musically deaf. How many opera singers do you know? Who are you comparing Bocelli to to think he is so great? To Justin Biever? Compared to him he id awesome, I'd give you that.

Third what would possibly change even in the tiniest percent if i mentioned feew names when you are clearly not prepared to listen to other people opinions ? You know what , you are right , he is horrible , he is nothing , just a blind guy who got lucky ...Okay ? happy now ? Let's exclude anything he did so far from the musical records , the many duets he did , the composers who trusted him , the lyric writters , David Foster who made few concerts with him , the people who love him because his voice is great , let's go with your opinion , so you can finally shut up , move on and get on with your life . As for my personal music taste apparently doesn't meet your "High standards" and no , i don't like Justin Bieber , i am more like jazz , RnB , Blues , Soul ,classic music and some rock ballads type of guy . The only thing i agree with you is that pop music sucks lately .
Luciano Pavarotti was and still is the GOAT, in my opinion nobody thus far has the control, timbre, range and beautiful sounding voice like his. Thank you Luciano for touching our souls
Opera is meant to give you an emotional overload. It's an extreme form of music, and you have to let it consume you to get the whole experience. I have tears in my eyes every time I hear Pavarotti sing Nessun Dorma.
Where I used to work. My boss loved Pavarotti. I listened to Pavarotti every day 6 days a week for 12 years. Now I enjoy hearing him. What's more enjoyable is Watching people hear him for the first time. Like you. Just now. It's the same for most people. Totally Stunned. Wonderful isn't he. Great Reaction. Good job
No sleep, no sleep Nessun dorma, nessun dorma You too, o, Princess Tu pure, o, Principessa In your cold room Nella tua fredda stanza Look at the stars that tremble Guardi le stelle che tremano Of love and hope D'amore e di speranza But my mystery is closed in me Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me No one will know my name Il nome mio nessun saprà No, no, I'll say it on your mouth No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò When the light shines Quando la luce splenderà And my kiss will break the silence Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio That makes you mine Che ti fa mia (No one will know his name) (Il nome suo nessun saprà) (And we must, alas, die, die) (E noi dovrem, ahimé, morir, morir) Vanish, o night Dilegua, o notte Set, stars Tramontate, stelle Set, stars Tramontate, stelle I'll win at dawn All'alba vincerò I will win Vincerò I will win Vincerò
Pavarotti sang in the language of life. Of love and laughter and sadness and pain. He sang from his heart to the heart of the listener with each note. When he sang of love you felt the warm caress of love in your chest. Likewise the pain of heartbreak when he let that loose on an unsuspecting audience. I am a 70 year old retired U.S. Marine and I cry when this amazing man reveals his power, range limits and wonderful timbre of his almost magical voice. Every time I hear him I feel so fortunate to have done so. He is no longer with us but in heaven, singing directly to God. Thank you for posting this video. And Semper fi.
"None Shall Sleep Tonight" is the English translation to one of the most beautiful and emotional songs I have ever heard..."Nessun Dorma." And it was sung masterfully here by the late great Luciano Pavarotti. Great reaction to one of the worlds greatest opera 'Tenors' of all times.
I'm 60 years old. I've watched and listened to Luciano Pavarotti sing this gob smacking piece for decades. I still feel the hair on my skin tingle and experience that awe-filled sigh in my chest every time. What a gift he was. I can so easily relate to this young woman's first experience of it.
I listen earlier to Luciano Pavarotti and I love it . He’s one of the greatest opera singers ! And I’m very happy that you listen to him. Hé sings with his ❤️. Thanks for you’re choice ! Love from Holland.🇳🇱👍🙋🏼♂️❤️💋
I'm in my early 50s now we had this stunning piece of music as a sound track to the 1990 World Cup 'Italia 90' it was just epic as an English man. We were simply swept along with not only the football but this piece of music. Even now listening it takes me right back to that glorious summer. RIP Luciano Pavarotti RIP Bobby Robson
Great reaction. This clip is like a human soul spilling out all over an audience. The song is about the hero of the opera expressing his belief that he will win the love of the princess.
Morenikeji, I am 80 years old and I still tear up listening to Luciano Pavarotti singing a beloved aria from Puccini's Turandot Opera. I am thrilled you loved hearing this magnificent voice.
No one seems to notice his face and his eyes right after the performance. You can literally see how much emotion he put in and how much it took out of him. A surely great performance.
I politely disagree with you - many of us DO see his expression at the end. It's hard to nail down its significance, but perhaps it evoked in him a memory of something in life that Puccini's words brought back to him. We recently said goodbye to our best friend, a twelve and half year old Irish Wolf Hound, a big but gentle creature. Pavarotti's enigmatic gaze just let all my inner sadness out.
Oh yes I did he had the voice of an Angel and this performance was vocal perfection but the look on Luciano's face when he concluded this performance it's hard to describe it's almost as if he could not believe it himself and the look set it all
Opera singers have told me that performance of Opera is a physically and (if your heart is in it) emotionally exhausting exercise. I believe them. Maybe that accounts for the look on his face.
You just listened to a real legend. This song gives me chills every time I hear it. You can tell by the look on his face that the songs he sings, though written hundreds of years ago is a deeply emotional trip for this man. I'm glad you got to experience this song.
His voice was magnificent was it not? So powerful, yet it makes you so emotional. It was a delight to watch you listening to it. I have that exact same reaction every single time I listen to him sing Nessun Dorma!
I love your reactions to all these various types of wonderful music! It’s beautiful to see your honest, heartfelt, and emotional reactions to the greatest musical artists. Thanks for sharing your joy with the world!
La beauté d'une oeuvre picturale, d'un visage, d'une musique ou d'une voix suscitent souvent l'émotion, et l'émotion, les larmes...Il est vrai que Luciano Pavarotti avait un timbre de voix exceptionnel, une voix qui faisait de ses prestations à l'opéra ou en concert des triomphes...Et cette jeune femme est littéralement bouleversée par ce qu'elle écoute. Dans notre famille, quand Pavarotti passait à la télévision, nous arrétions tous nos occupations, et courions devant le petit écran, tout a fait subjugués.
Pavarotti did exactly what truly great artists do, touch the soul! I have seen and heard Pavarotti (as the 3 Tenors) live back in the 90's. I was a crying mess during Nessun Dorma. You are not alone. :)
This is one of my favorite opera pieces thanks for reacting to it : ) I’ve heard this song plenty of times but everytime it bring chills and tear to my eyes it’s beautiful😁
As an Italian I can tell you that I got excited watching your reaction. I was lucky to be able to listen Pavarotti live and I can guarantee you that every time I had goose bumps. Nessun Dorma is one of the "aria" that move me the most with a deep feeling like the whole opera (Turandot). Another amazing Aria is "Che Gelida Manina" from La Bohème by Puccini.
He received a 20 minutes standing ovation, his voice was a gift from God
I am an italian musician and i played with him in Itay for 30 years ago in a concert outdoor.
The reaction of the public, almost 100.000 people, was the same than you. Tears of greatness for the music and the voice, perfect mix.

M M BRAVO PAISAN BRAVO
@Fook Yu have you ever listened to BENIAMINO GIGLI?
Italy
Thanks to god to send us Luciano Pavarotti on Earth
You just heard the greatest male tenor voice who ever sang a note. He had the voice of an angel. May God rest his dear soul.
No matter how often he sang this aria, he always put a lot of emotion into it. That is what the greatest singers of any genre do.
I had concert tickets to see Pavarotti perform one fall. Months earlier he announced he had cancer, and ended up dying. It was the concert I always wanted to go to, that I never got to see. I still have my ticket.

@@5thtimeaccountdeleted.206 Carelli was great! But Pavarotti held the note and you felt it in your bones and the tears flowed.
i love how she doesnt stop and interrupt the songs like others do
Indeed makes no sense you can’t listen to a song I you pause it all the time those people make it more about them than the song.
Her face speaks volumes, so no need to comment as much 😀👍🏼
TRUE THAT!
they interrupt bc of copyright infringement rules on YT. She's a boss...DGAF. LOL
@@yellowbmblbee ok, interesting
I've seen this at least 50 times and Pavarotti still gets me choked up every time!
I know right!?!
Same, give me tears and chills everytime
im the same everytime
It has something to do with copyrite laws not sure which country. If you are appraising a song/singer you should pause in the song somewhere.
🇦🇺🇦🇺😷😷
It's not understandable. I've watched every reaction and listed intently and always end up just like you said. Magic.
Always overwhelming. A voice that never dies...

No that was a wonderful explanation. I had heard it before but couldn't describe it as well as you. Thank you, Kathy from Philadelphia
Thank you very much, no rust to apologise for.
I tip my hat and raise my glass to you, cheers from Scotland. Be well.
Has loved the song but never understood its meaning until your explanation! Thank you.
Thank you. Finally, someone translates for us who can't speak the language to even know the story. Youare so kind.
More prcisely, "nessun dorma" is an imperative, so "no one sleep".
As someone who listens to thrash metal (Metallica, Slayer etc), one cannot but feel in awe at Pavarotti's voice. This song alone sends chills down my spine and is truly phenomenal!
His face at the end brings me to tears every time. One of the best feelings a musician can have is taking in the music at the end, truly euphoric.
He just went in another dimension.
To me his expression at the end asks, “Wait! Where did I transcend to? Okay. I’m back. I hear applauses so I must have delivered.”
To me his expression at the end asks, “Wait! Where did I transcend to? Okay. I’m back. I hear applauses so I must have delivered.”
The greatest tenor of all time. What a voice!
The most beautiful voice of all times... it is just a master piece.
He was the greatest. You were lucky that you heard him sing it for the first time.
This young lady is a pleasure to watch. She possesses a pure soul who appreciates greatness when she sees it.
Yes , and she is so beautiful !
I agree you have heard the greatest voice of all time!!
Please watch Aretha Franklin sing Nessun Dorma when she substituted for Pavarotti when he was ill. Mind. Blowing
I don't know how many times I've heard this and I still get chills listening to him sing this.
Sweetheart you heard the greatest tenor in the world and I hope he’s singing with the angels in heaven

How good was that?!!!?? Incredible. RIP Pavarotti, god bless you
How could you not be stunned by that performance!
The beauty of this performance brings tears to my eyes too. It is things like this that make life worth living.
I'm very glad you liked it.Mr.Pavarotti was one of the greats and he is missed
I cry *every* time I watch this. Every time. So powerful.
Possibly the greatest vocalist of all time. So much emotion in his voice.
I'm not a religious person but i think God loaned us an Angels voice in Pavarotti, Much love from Scotland ❤
God's not religious either
God is not a religion he is a relationship

You should be religious after hearing that.
This is a gift, and no "relationship".
Sometimes I think this is the kind of music we will hear when (God willing) we make our way to Heaven!
He makes me cry and smile at the same time. BEAUTIFUL!!!
RIP LP 💐 💐 2021
You're crying my love , because you can feel the music in your soul. It's in Italian but I'm British and I still end up in tears!
Stiff upper lip, old chap...

I have never been able to listen to him sing this song without tears and chills. Not ever.
It's a sad story...you can look up the plot summaries online.
I always tear up at the climax. Without fail. I could be driving, showering, etc and it just fills my body with so much emotion
Amen. I love people reactions especially those that have never heard opera before
Same here
Where I used to work. My boss loved Pavarotti. I listened to Pavarotti every day 6 days a week for 12 years. Now I enjoy hearing him. What's more enjoyable is Watching people hear him for the first time. Like you. Just now. It's the same for most people. Totally Stunned. Wonderful isn't he.
Great Reaction. Good job
When the final melody comes in it is so powerful, sometimes a tear drops out of my eye.. I don't even know what he is saying.
No sleep, no sleep
Nessun dorma, nessun dorma
You too, o, Princess
Tu pure, o, Principessa
In your cold room
Nella tua fredda stanza
Look at the stars that tremble
Guardi le stelle che tremano
Of love and hope
D'amore e di speranza
But my mystery is closed in me
Ma il mio mistero e chiuso in me
No one will know my name
Il nome mio nessun saprà
No, no, I'll say it on your mouth
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
When the light shines
Quando la luce splenderà
And my kiss will break the silence
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio
That makes you mine
Che ti fa mia
(No one will know his name)
(Il nome suo nessun saprà)
(And we must, alas, die, die)
(E noi dovrem, ahimé, morir, morir)
Vanish, o night
Dilegua, o notte
Set, stars
Tramontate, stelle
Set, stars
Tramontate, stelle

All'alba vincerò
I will win
Vincerò

That is magnificent. One of the great voices in opera. The great man, gone now from this World, but his repertoire lives on for us all to enjoy.
You can see it in his face -you can read his mind: "Perfection! I´ve done it!!!"
The Great Man could break your heart into a thousand pieces

My son was a toddler during Italia ‘90 when this track was everywhere. As Pavarotti built to his crescendo he would start shouting “Lion!”
Look into his eyes at crescendo....he is a maestro....only the best can go where he went to at the end.....perfection
It's from Puccini's Opera Turandot. This is the sound of Victory. Read the story being told in Turandot.
I am an Italian and I am proud of Luciano Pavarotti! long live Italy !!
You're in the death throes. You have ceded our homeland to the fucking globalist scumbags and third-world human debris. Shame on all of you.
I saw him live, and i will NEVER forget that voice.
Lucky ones
I'd close my acct to hear him sing😭😭😭
There is some sort of magic that happens when the beautiful choir echos the song back to Pavarotti. It makes my soul swell.
The fact you actually got emotional makes this actually worth watching, not like the emotionless other channels I've seen. Great stuff!
You cannot listen to Pavarotti and not get emotional
I listen earlier to Luciano Pavarotti and I love it . He’s one of the greatest opera singers ! And I’m very happy that you listen to him. Hé sings with his ❤️. Thanks for you’re choice ! Love from Holland.🇳🇱👍🙋🏼♂️❤️💋
Thank you very much!
Simply a masterpiece, it touches your soul,
I've heard this a hundred times and it still gives me goosebumps
You know when you hear a master at work, is when you're clapping for him even decades after his death ..
No words can describe how good pavarotti was.
This brought tears to my eyes 👀 and I don't understand one Syllable but I definitely felt and connected to the emotions of this song...wowwww
Many tenors have wonderful voices but few can suing with the emotion of Pavarotti.
No matter how many times I hear his rendition, of Nessun Dorma, I get chicken skin, and my eyes well up, with tears. He's truly amazing. 🙏🏾 ❤️🙏🏾
He was truly one of the best there ever was or ever will be. RIP tenor

RIP Luciano Pavarotti
RIP Bobby Robson
Pavarottis face at the end is always like a punch to my heart 💖
MY PARENTS SAW HIM IN GOLDEN GATE PARK SAN FRANCISCO 20YRS AGO ... MY MOM WAS NEVER THE SAME!
This guy is THE maestro Bravo Pavarotti total and utter respect for the best tenor voice in the world ever
Great reaction. This clip is like a human soul spilling out all over an audience. The song is about the hero of the opera expressing his belief that he will win the love of the princess.
Morenikeji, I am 80 years old and I still tear up listening to Luciano Pavarotti singing a beloved aria from Puccini's Turandot Opera. I am thrilled you loved hearing this magnificent voice.
No one seems to notice his face and his eyes right after the performance. You can literally see how much emotion he put in and how much it took out of him. A surely great performance.
I politely disagree with you - many of us DO see his expression at the end. It's hard to nail down its significance, but perhaps it evoked in him a memory of something in life that Puccini's words brought back to him.
We recently said goodbye to our best friend, a twelve and half year old Irish Wolf Hound, a big but gentle creature.
Pavarotti's enigmatic gaze just let all my inner sadness out.
Oh yes I did he had the voice of an Angel and this performance was vocal perfection but the look on Luciano's face when he concluded this performance it's hard to describe it's almost as if he could not believe it himself and the look set it all
Well, he is an actor, you know. This is how he performs the role. It’s the gig! 😎
Opera singers have told me that performance of Opera is a physically and (if your heart is in it) emotionally exhausting exercise. I believe them. Maybe that accounts for the look on his face.
You just listened to a real legend. This song gives me chills every time I hear it. You can tell by the look on his face that the songs he sings, though written hundreds of years ago is a deeply emotional trip for this man. I'm glad you got to experience this song.
His voice was magnificent was it not? So powerful, yet it makes you so emotional.
It was a delight to watch you listening to it. I have that exact same reaction every single time I listen to him sing Nessun Dorma!
Pavarotti was the best ever !!! This is by far my favorite aria....his version is PERFECTION
So powerful. Brings me to tears everytime
It doesn't matter where you are from that is the most ICONIC moment in music and makes EVERYONE break down x
You don't just listen to opera, you feel it, whether you understand the language or not
I understand that is what opera is And it’s the feeling and expression of The Voice. I just wish I understood the language. That is all I was saying.
@Cela Whitney Bocelli is very weak in comparison to Pavarotti in my opinion. He’s never been an opera singer.
@@lgk4008 I don't know why, but youtube opera videos seldom have the subtitles, whereas the broadcasts usually do, at least in the UK.
@@lgk4008 right you can understand it without knowing the language but when you know the language it's even better!
exactly
So so beautiful. Simply wonderful...ie Full of Wonder!
Look at his reaction to the crowd.. its amazing
To my mind, Luciano Pavarotti had the finest and sweetest voice in all of the modern era. Wonderful video 💜
I love your reactions to all these various types of wonderful music! It’s beautiful to see your honest, heartfelt, and emotional reactions to the greatest musical artists. Thanks for sharing your joy with the world!
You're listening to one of the truly GREAT voices for the ages, pretty lady...
Thank you for not stopping it from an italian♥️
One of the only voices that can pull tears from my soul.
RIP Luciano , one of the great songs that will last forever,
I love watching videos of reactions to this performance by Pavarotti. It's really special to see people emotionally moved by something beautiful.
His voice and delivery brings tears to my eyes also...
La beauté d'une oeuvre picturale, d'un visage, d'une musique ou d'une voix suscitent souvent l'émotion, et l'émotion, les larmes...Il est vrai que Luciano Pavarotti avait un timbre de voix exceptionnel, une voix qui faisait de ses prestations à l'opéra ou en concert des triomphes...Et cette jeune femme est littéralement bouleversée par ce qu'elle écoute. Dans notre famille, quand Pavarotti passait à la télévision, nous arrétions tous nos occupations, et courions devant le petit écran, tout a fait subjugués.
You can tell she was overwhelmed by his performance.
And in a good way.
Anyone who listens to this will feel the exact same way, and be moved to tears at the same time.
Pavarotti did exactly what truly great artists do, touch the soul! I have seen and heard Pavarotti (as the 3 Tenors) live back in the 90's. I was a crying mess during Nessun Dorma. You are not alone. :)
He was an incredible opera singer. Great personality and person as well it seemed. One of the greatest of all time. Very nice review too.😀👍
It is so beautiful to see how she sat quietly and allowed Luciano to touch her soul.
He has a beautiful voice and I could listen to him every day.
This is the greatest performance of modern opera. I’m glad you got to experience it.
This is one of my favorite opera pieces thanks for reacting to it : ) I’ve heard this song plenty of times but everytime it bring chills and tear to my eyes it’s beautiful😁
I just love your reaction,. It's so pure, no pretense. I watched this over 20 times. Plus I get to hear Mr Pavarotti rendition of nessun dorma
As an Italian I can tell you that I got excited watching your reaction. I was lucky to be able to listen Pavarotti live and I can guarantee you that every time I had goose bumps. Nessun Dorma is one of the "aria" that move me the most with a deep feeling like the whole opera (Turandot). Another amazing Aria is "Che Gelida Manina" from La Bohème by Puccini.
Anytime I listen to this song I cry ,Luciano great voice ever
