Translation is
None shall sleep,
None shall sleep!
Even you, oh 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 so much for providing the translation.
Thank you!
Always loved listening to him, but so happy that you gave us the translation. Thanks!
Thank you!
Waaay cool. Thank you, sir for this!!!
I am a 63 yr old black guy who grew up on jazz and blues and this song never fails to bring a tear to my eyes and a lump to my throat.
Pavarotti was the GOAT.
Yes absolutely.
I'm right there with you, Brian.
That's great to hear because I thought I was the only one. It also gives me goose bumps
Black dude named Brian? That's wild
To watch you two adorable young people experience Pavarotti fills my heart with joy! Thank you for being open to all different genres of music.
ABSOLUTELY!
🌻
This is why I subscribed to their channel, they're fearlessness in searching out different genres.
Debra, our sentiments perfectly. This young couple is very special in the reaction world; pleasure to watch. Amber and Jay, we would like to make a special request for a reaction to a solo performance from the female lead singer of the symphonic metal band, Nightwish. It is from the Dutch TV show Beste Zangers and she sings an operatic style song Vilja Lied, but with a twist that only she can do. The only video we could find includes a bit of conversation before and after the performance with English subtitles, but we think you will find it interesting and enjoyable given your reaction to Luciano. Here is the link:
th-cam.com/video/ruMg589OTmM/w-d-xo.html Stay safe.
Well said Debra, watching J and Amber expand their musical menu is fabulous
It fills my heart too .. made me cry !
Anything sung by Pavarotti, anything written by Puccini, you can’t lose. 👍🏻
So true doesn't get any better than Puccini.
Tosca is shit. It feels like sitting through one of late Wagner's operas. But Puccini's other stuff are great.
"La Boheme". 3 arias in a row. "Che Gelida Manina", Mi Chiamo Mimi", "O Soave Fanciulla". Pavarotti and Mirella Freni. All about love at first sight.
A man born to write opera and a man born to sing it.
@@CNFrostXY I think you really have to enjoy long, dramatic, heavy operas to like Tosca. I'm not a fan of operas by Wagner, Korngold, Richard Strauss, etc. although I don't mind Tosca, it's not my favourite opera.
"I don't need to know what he's saying. He conveys the emotion." Young lady, you understood this from the first note! Some things simply transcend language. I have seen many people react to this performance; people of all ages, nationalities, and ethnicities, and not a single one was anything less than emotionally moved and astonished. So glad you two experienced this. I loved your reactions! Music is its own language, yes? And Luciano was, and is, the Master!
You are so right, Stephen Lutz. Some things DO transcend language. I have been the opera in Philadelphia many times. Once I know the story the opera is telling, sometimes, I don’t read the translation above the stage. I just want to listen to the music and the beautiful voices.
i love seeing this young couple opening up their musical experience . they are wonderful kids.
Stephen Lutz you put it far more eloquently than I ever could. Music is indeed it's own language. I watch this performance by Luciano in amazement. I do not understand the words he is singing, but I do understand the emotion he is conveying as evidenced by the tears streaming down my face.
I’ve seen this performance a few times and it never fails to make me cry! 😭 astonishingly beautiful.
Sadly just was. He passed in 2007.
*Luciano Pavarotti* was given an *Italian state funeral* and was laid in state for thousands of fans to say goodbye to him.
Serious worldwide respect.
I love Italians! You have something special.
Not thousands of fans millions
4:38 "Just one cornetto....give it to me..." 🎶 (sorry...has someone already said that..? 🤭)
I wish America gave state funerals for its supreme artists.
also, so fat he had to have a rope tied to him went he went into the ocean so his minders could pull him out of the water to stop drowning
The girl was right, at the end Luciano sings "Vincerò" that means "I will win", so it talks about victory. Her feelings captured what music was transmitting.
💜💜💜
Yes!!
@@rabbitandcrow Yes indeed, she nailed the interpretation!
Isn't that incredible? Without understanding the words, the music and Pavarotti's performance still communicate the meaning!
@@hirambodon7086 because it's the music vibrations that generate emotions. Words have been added to music just for entertainment and to bring lower classes closer to music that was once only for aristocrats
"...where they win, where they defeat the bad guy."
He's literally singing, "I shall win!" there. Music truly has its own language.
Guys, how **awesome** that you thought his ending notes sounded like a "victory" - the word he sings at the end (3 times) is "vinceró" - literally the Italian word for "I will win"!
Listen to some Il Divo. They are four opera singers as a group and they do many covers. I think you will enjoy them.
@@buddymetcalf9144 OH HELL YEAH ANOTHER IL DIVO FAN! ❤️ their cover of Adagio gives me GOOSEBUMPS
That part tears me up so much Bc I been through a lot in life and Pavarotti voice just gets to me and it amazing
Pavarotti himself noted that the last phrase means I shall conquer which is the second translation of the verb in Italian and in line with the story line of the Opera of a conquest.
You two are not the only ones, either!
My wife is crying right now after hearing this. Her head phones allow her to hear this beauty. She is legally deaf, but we saved up and got her these head phones that allow her to hear this music. Thank you!!! So much for giving her this gift! Thank you!!!!! Her tears thank you!!!!
Wow so happy for you guys..."truly"
Im sure hes smiling reading this comment whilst singing for the angels god bless guys
Bone conducting? But... what? She heard it the first time through this video? Why?
@Nekotaku_TV does it matter how she listen to it
@@sarahpagett9191 don't think they read the deaf part
Never forget Puccini the composer who created this masterpiece! The melody, the lyrics, the instruments of the orchestra, the choir and then Luciano's voice - all of that makes this performance out of this world! 🙌
It's just such a masterpiece. One of the most beautiful songs ever created.
This is the one song that turned millions and millions of people on to Opera in modern times, and will keep on doing so for many many years to come.
Puccini wrote this while battling throat cancer and hoping to finish this his last opera before he died. Sadly he never completed it as he suddenly died from a heart attack after enduring the treatment for the cancer which consisted of cutting a hole in this throat and inserting radium needles into the tumor. The opera was eventually completed by Franco Alfano. At the first performance which was conducted by Toscanini , Toscanini put down his baton at the point in the 3rd act where Puccini stopped composing turned to the audience and said "This is where the Maestro put down his pen, for me the work ends here" . The completed opera was performed the second night.
@ Uli Traha:👍👍👍👏👏👏🎵
It's perfection
Puccini he sound like stand user
His voice was superhuman. Once in a lifetime talent.
Try Dmitry Hvorostovsky kak melody my bili and so many more. He sang with Pavarotti and died too young
The high note you call "the victory" is the word "vincerò" which means "I will be victorious". So you nailed it.
Unreal how Amber understood the meaning of the song through the emotion of the music.
Hear Luciana sing AIDA !!!
How ironic that you're wearing a shirt that says 'No Sleep' when Nessun Dorma means "none shall sleep' Yes, Pavarotti did have the voice of an angel.
Such a great comment 😀🤣😉
Fantastic
AN 'ANGEL POWERED BY A V12'
She is quite in alignment with the Universe 💜💜👏👏💜💜
As a singer myself,I've never heard better than maestro.At strong 2nd place is Freddie Mercury.Hope they are singing duets,somewhere beyond imagination😎
Sorry for party breaking,but I think she was wearing shirt,on purpose.Don't believe in coincidences on tube.
It’s doesn’t matter how many times I hear him sing this I still get goosebumps every time . A true musical genius
Queen, absolutely same.
Goosebumps and tears. It just hits like that.
Every time I hear Pavarotti sing this, I have GOOSEBUMPS from start to finish.... Some voices, some talent is truly god-given.
Try Dmitry Hvorostovsky singing Kak melody my bili and so many more . He died too young
The ripping off of the earphones and yelling “OH MY GOD” is exactly the reaction that happened to me.. I still get goosebumps listening to this for the 1000th time !!
I could tell by her reaction, this hit her deeply. I think if she exposes herself to more Pavarotti she will come to love him. Excellent reaction guys. BTW, he is the bar other tenors are held to, he was a master and a gift.
we put music in genres but beautiful music like this moves not only your heart but your soul
The worlds Greatest tenor. I cried when I heard he died. I loved this voice. I still cry when he sings.
Me too! What a life tho .. ❤
Try Dmitry Hvorostovsky Kak melody my bili he died too young
Nope. Gigli or Bjorman best than the overrated Luciano.
Del Monaco was the greatest one of them all.
He was excllent but didn't have the depth of Pavarotti @@Rickblaine1942
This is not a song but an experience , gives me chills every time …
I’m not a huge fan of opera, I like punk & metal etc, but the first time I went out of my way to sit & listen to this song I cried! It moves you to tears & gives you goosebumps all over your body!
I'm baffled how punk, heavy metal is popular at all, sorry just a noise! The sooner you get into proper music the better!
@@josephstanton4872 As the kids say, "ok boomer."
Just watch Manowar performing this song 😍
@@josephstanton4872 everyone can have their own taste, we are all different, let things come naturally- it's not your life to decide the way for someone else.
@@AirLancer I'm 60, i love a lot of opera and various genres; i'm with the young against old fogeyism, controlling shrivelled souls. "boomer"; the word fills me with horror.- what a mess has been made of the world for the young.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (Live)
Will blow you away
That was my first thought as well!
Good choice.
But mine is a little bit better. 😉
Once Upon A time In The West
(Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod)
Münchner Rundfunk Orchester 2011 (from Ennio Morricone)
Look listening to that , great choice.
And it's not opera.
@@timlynch5710 No but he was saying how much he loved orchestras, and that ALSO has a lovely performance by a highly regarded Soprano.
It is incredible that two young people who do not speak Italian could somehow sense what he was singing. As another viewer wrote, Nessun Dorrma means, none shall sleep. You commented that the crescendo of the song made you feel as if it could the cry of an army who overcame the odds to win. The very last word, which he repeated is vincero, which means, I will be victorious. It is a perfect example of how the beauty and power of a song and voice can transcend language. An absolute delight to watch both of your reactions.
I'm a Rocker, Italian, Studied Opera & Brought my Dad to see Luciano, My Dad was a singer with a beautiful voice who actually recorded before I was born. This was a highlight for him on his Birthday 2/14. RIP DAD & LUCIANO. 💙💙
I respect the hell out of you two. You truly appreciate music,
This one single performance is probably "the" best performance by anyone anywhere.the vocal control is exemplary.
May I encourage you to listen to his performance of Nessun Dorma in his movie "Yes Giorgio", where he sings it twice (first time with joy and the second with sadness", and he holds the notes insanely long
Please watch versions done by Franco Corelli and also Jussi Bjorling.. Even Pavarotti himself said he could never compare to them..
@@adamalpha9150 I just listened to them and still think Pavarotti's control was better.
Also, they were Pavarotti's role models when he was growing up, so he'd have to be an arrogant SOB to claim to have surpassed his heroes. He was showing some humility.
Personally, I think Pavarotti had a warmer, more rounded tone.
@@adamalpha9150+1 Corelli 😍
The control in his voice is astonishing. I've listened to him sing this hundreds of times and it brings me to tears without fail. The power and emotion... it touches your soul.
The only thing better than hearing him sing this is to watch someone else hear it for the first time. Your reactions and expressions were pure joy to behold.
When you paused it midway, I was eager for you to start again [I've heard it lots of times and knew what was coming!] and enjoyed anticipating your response to that final sequence. You didn't disappoint.
You don't have to know the words: the music, and his delivery, his passion, tell you everything.
His voice control and projection are awesome. I've heard some pop singers hold a long note - except that they don't hold it, they waver above and below it. He not only holds it, he nails it to the wall.
ps: and we're so privileged to live in an age where we don't have to physically attend a concert or an opera to be able to hear the music; we can call it up at the touch of a button. Pavarotti will be immortal - as long as the tapes last.
What I love about reactions to Nessun Dorma is that just when they think they’ve heard it all… the finale comes and it’s like nothing they’ve ever heard before, nor will ever again. There will never be another Pavarotti.
That's definitely true, Luciano was definitely One of a kind
The man would just open his mouth and out came this beautiful music. He didn't exaggerate his filling up his lungs he just SANG. He was a gift to the world.
Just as there will be no more Enrico Caruso
I am now aged 80 and an Englishman. I have seen Luciano so many times and I am so pleased that you found him. A few tears always roll down my face when he sings the final crescendo of Nessun Dorma and I cried all day when he passed away at his young age. I have all of his works and like yourselves I was into rock when it first started but have a love for opera too. I was fortunate enough to see most of the first British and American music performers concerts at The City Hall, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England in the 60's through the 80's from musicians like Eddie Cochrane, Gene Vincent, etcetera right through to Freddy Mercury's (Queen) Newcastle concert and beyond. Now I am stuck in Colorado, my wife died of a heart attack 20 years ago and I have terminal stage 4 emphysema. Can't travel back to England - need too much oxygen, besides nobody I ever knew in the UK including my family is passed. Hey, I DID get to see and hear the best music that's ever graced planet earth - I don't think it will ever be bettered. XoX to you both and thank you.
@@aidencox790 Beautiful life and comment ♥️
In 1996 I was a Steward at Wembley stadium and I got to see the 3 tenors practicing without microphones It was an amazing experience
So lucky
You are so Blessed!! That would be my Dream! What an honor ❤️❤️❤️
I got to see the same in Detroit, I worked at the old Tiger Stadium. I was there for their pre-show warmup and practice. One of my personal musical highlights. We're lucky!
How fantastic!!! Like winning the lottery -- wow -- just wow!
Yes he’s one of the if not the greatest. His range was truly phenomenal, and he could hold high notes longer than anyone I have ever heard singing opera.
There is a scene in “Pretty Woman” where Richard Gere’s character discusses opera. He says “People either love opera or they hate”. If they love it, they will always love it. If they don’t, they may learn to appreciate it, but it will never become part of their soul.”
I think that we just watched opera become part of two people’s souls in this video.
Now I have to rewatch that movie! Thanks for the reminder. Also, a great opera scene in Moonstruck where Cher gets introduced to opera.
PRICELESS!!!! "I want to order my ice cream like that"..... Love it!!!!
I love that scene!
YES! Pretty Woman needs to be on their movie reaction list too!
In Pretty Woman when he takes her to the Opera it is the perfect way to show that as Amber said you don't need to know what they are saying. The storytelling is so good you are captivated
Amber said, “I don’t need to know what he is saying.” You are so right. His voice is like a musical instrument, like David Gilmour’s guitar in a Pink Floyd song.
I'd say it's the other way around.
Gilmour's guitar playing is so emotive you could call it a voice of its own.
Shows the strength of music. She was right she didn't need to understand the words. She knew exactly what it was about.
Wow!! Not a massive classic fan but that blew the froth off my beer. Great choice folks.
I had the pleasure of seeing him live at the Metropolitan Opera House on a few occasions. They don't use microphones or amplifiers. I could feel the power of his voice hitting my chest. He had a once-in-a-hundred-years voice.
That's one of the best things about the really great opera singers... the amount of raw vocal power they can create is astounding. An Pavorotti was the best. I wish I could have seen him live.
Goosebumps 30 years on.
Lets be honest, most people over 40 in the world know this guy singing this particular song at Football World Cup Italy 1990. this one song rendition brought millions to listen to Opera at the time. RIP big man...
I barely can sing a note but truly am amazed at how the human voice can sound. On of my most favorite favorite operas is Mozart's Magic Flute; Queen of the Night. ..will leave you stunned.
Not my favorite opera but her aria demanding Pamina kill her father is literally fire.
Have you listened to lakme’s Flower Duet? It’s breathtaking…..!
@@mkshffr4936 I was actually only talking about her vocal abilities. I have not seen the entire opera.
@@smitty8663 no I will find it and give it a listen
Great call
One of my favourites from The Three Tenors concert is when Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras basically have a sing off to O Sole Mio, brilliant and funny at the same time! They loved it, the Orchestra loved it and the audience definitely did too!!
You are so right - this is wildly entertaining! th-cam.com/video/ERD4CbBDNI0/w-d-xo.html
The great thing about opera is that you don't even have to understand the words. Your soul will get it. Pavarotti was known as the "King of the High C's", so he had a lot of range within his tenor voice. Even though I prefer Mario Lanza as a tenor, Pavarroti never fails to move me. What a wonderful gift he was to the world. There will never be another like him!
Mario Lanza was great.
I grew up on Mario Lanza. My dad loved him. Hands down my favorite version of Oh Holy Night is by him..
The bliss on Amber's face ❤
The shock on both your faces in the beginning was wonderful to watch. Opera is very old, Pavarotti was My dads favorite Opera Tenor.
Look up the Three Tenors.
First you might wanna check out this gem I found a few months ago, from Wikipedia:
"Barcelona" is a single released by Queen vocalist Freddie Mercury and operatic soprano Montserrat Caballé. A part of their collaborative album Barcelona, it also appeared on Queen's Greatest Hits III.
Agree a more contemporary version is the Three Tenors. They are amazing!
Nessun Dorma was initially composed by Giacomo Puccini, and posthumously completed by Franco Alfano in 1926. I had the privilege of meeting Luciano Pavarotti Backstage at the Kennedy Center for the Arts in Washington DC when I was only 18!!! I always lived opera, but meeting him was so surreal! Unfortunately, he passed away in September of 2007. As an opera fan I can tell you this much: there’s no one who can sing like Luciano (and I love Placido Domingo, another amazing Tenor from Spain). I’m glad to see that you enjoyed this Aria!
Ascoltare il numero uno è sempre bello e affascinante.....R.I.P " BIG" Luciano....🫶❤
He brings me to tears everytime I listen to this song. The man was a gift from God.
Luciano's facial expression at the end is so intense and full of emotion. What a great artist.
And you two guys have become my favorite reaction channel. You're so sweet together!
She's so real and insightful. She understands and appreciates all types of music. So refreshing
For us older English folk this brings people back to the World Cup in Italy in 1990. The BBC used this song as their opening title sequence music. Inspired choice. I was 18 and we (England) made it to the semi final (and I still maintain unlucky in that game)….what a summer 1990 was as a fresh faced 18 year old ❤❤ 🏴🏴
Also check this same song out when Andrea Bocelli sang it in Leicester in 2016 ❤
I always thought it was the official song of the world cup I remember before games I was only 11 and ever since I referred to this song as Italia 90 lol
Agree 100%, I will always think of that summer. Plus it reached No. 2 in the UK charts!
I’d also love these guys to hear Miss Sarajevo. Basically U2,Brian Eno and the man Luciano. Lump in throat when those high notes get smashed
Great reaction. This is one of the most emotional, hard hitting songs in any genre.
I thought that you might like to hear the story.
This is an aria from the opera Turandot composed by Puccini.
So Turandot is a beautiful , powerful but cold hearted princess. Lots of guys want to marry her so she sets 3 riddles and if anyone answers them all then he will marry them. But if they get one wrong then they will die.
Our hero Craf answers the riddles but he knows that Turandot does not want to marry him so he gives her an out.
If she can find out his true name before dawn then he will step aside.
Turandot sends all her subjects out to find out his name.
This is where this song starts Craf is the one singing.
These are the words. First in Italian and then English.
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle che tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
Il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
ll nome suo nessun saprà
E noi dovrem, ahimè! Morir! Morir!
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò!
Vincerò! Vincerò!
The translation...
None shall sleep,
None shall sleep!
Even you, oh 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!
How did the story end?
@@JPLOWMAN2 Tragically, Puccini died before he could complete the opera. Franco Alfano, a prominent contemporary, completed it, with Turandot melting: she has the name, she could have him killed, but in the end, she just says.... "his name is Love".
What's Craf? The name is Calaf
@@iTube22100 So it is. Typo?
So happy to see you react to this performance. It's a classic. For my profession I play orchestral music and teach horn performance. So, I'm a little biased to this style.
Cannot agree more!
I love the smiles when he hits the high notes with his power. The power of music.❤
Luciano brings me to tears every time I hear him. His voice 💗
I am a classically trained (instrumentalist) musician but I've listened to this recording many many times. Seeing you, Madame, sigh and you, sir, with your eyes going wide was such a blessing. The first time I heard this song it moved me to tears. The beauty is universal! Thank you for sharing this experience with us!
“The big” Luciano is absolutely one of our national pride ! Happy to see your reaction.
He was able to touch the soul :)
As a Music Appreciation professor at a mid-western university, I cannot begin to tell you how much I loved seeing your reaction here! You two are exactly the sort of people I wish I had in my class more often!
When the great operas were written, there were no electric amplifiers. You needed a great voice like this to fill a large opera house. Puccini wrote this in 1926.....
My wife and I were blessed to have attended two concerts by Luciano Pavarotti. Both in San Francisco. At one we had balcony seats, but at the second were were in the tenth row. Absolutely amazing. And he concluded each concert with Nessun Dorma.
I was at one of those and also saw him at Hollywood Bowl.
I had the privilege of listening to Luciano singing this live twice in my lifetime, once in London and once in Italy, I will never forget those performances and am so lucky to have witnessed this.
Hearing this man sing makes you glad you're alive.
You guys probably have listened through the entire piece uninterrupted since you first posted this, but if you haven’t, please, please do so. This is a masterpiece that should not be interrupted. ❤
When he hit that top note my heart explodes with emotion and I burst into tears…every time because of the beauty of that piece. It is pure perfection. And watching your reaction was so joyful. 🥰👏🎉💕
This song became his signature song while touring with The Three Tenors. Also, the Italian National Soccer team adopted it as their theme song. The final words are, Victory, Victory, Victory. So, Amber was close about the impact it would have on a movie.
I’m so happy to have seen him sing this live. He was an incredible human that always reach for perfection in performance.
The feeling when you listen to the greatest singer that ever walked the earth!!!! Great reaction!!!
Watched this concert, many years ago on PBS..and to anyone that appreciates music, or the performers of such great compositions. You can't help but be in awe of such a tremendous talent, The control, the emotion, the sheer power of his voice, makes me cry in JOY every single time! Thank you for taking the time to listen to this..
Once again I want to suggest a female opera star; Maria Callas singing " Un bel di ", ( One Fine day ) from Madama Butterfly. It is in Italian, but the emotion speaks directly to the heart!!
I second your suggestion! I love Maria Callas.
La Divina ✨🌟✨
Jonathan Antoine is crap.
It is AMAZING to me that you don't speak Italian and yet just by listening to this you nailed EXACTLY what he was saying..."Vincero' " means "I will win" EXACTLY as she described her vision of the song.
Amazing
🙏🏼 As a Metalhead 🤘😝🤟, my love and appreciation for opera was kept on the down low for many years, bow there is no hiding 👊🏼💪🏽!!
🫵👊🏼👍🏻 I found opera and metal were one in the same. 🤘😝🤟
I love how you guys show respect to these artists despite the genre!
Enormous privilege to see a couple of fellow humans be truly flattened by this. It's impossibly beautiful and Pavarotti is astonishing. Hugely glad you enjoyed it, good luck with the channel, and good luck with everything else too. Much joy, much peace. Go well.
This was the most beautiful reaction video I've ever seen. So honest, so humble, so emotional. Thanks for sharing the video.
Watch Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli - “Time to Say Goodbye” - Amber will love it.
its a must. Its so beutiful
Better for them to watch Mirusia singing that song! Far better singer and the accepted best version around the world.
@@happyolddude I’ll stick with Brightnan and Bocelli - thanks
I'm laughing and crying right now... this song hits me in such a visceral way, in my bones and watching you do this gave me such joy. Thank you xxxx
I love this reaction. Watching Amber’s countenance was transformative! She got it, and was so cool to see her become an Opera fan.
Totally agree.
I’ve watched this at least 100 times and was lucky enough to see him do it live once but I still get chills every time.
I was so fortunate and glad that I got to see his concert here in south Africa before he passed away. He was absolutely sublime.
I love that you two are so open to all kinds of music. This is probably one of the most well-known opera songs and definitely one of my favourites, so incredibly emotional. You should also give a listen to the Three Tenors (Pavarotti, José Carreras and Plácido Domingo).
I dont normally listen to certain genre of music but a voice like that trancends genres, it is wonderful to listen to. Mesmerizing. Channels like yours help me explore out of my comfort zone.
What always blows me away about Pavarotti is how anyone can tell, just from the first note, how brilliant his voice is.
Every single reaction video I've seen (and I'm slightly addicted to them) has had that eye-widening "whoa" from the second he opens his mouth. Something about the power, beauty and control he will go on to show throughout the song is audible immediately, even if (like me) your ear is totally untrained. For him to start from such a high point, and then just keep escalating, is truly astonishing.
My uncle was a concert pianist and an opera singer... and this performance is, in one word, magnificent. A true gift from God above.
He is magnificent, I have listened to him sing this numerous times, such a wonderful, powerful voice!
Luciano Pavarotti, by many considered the greatest tenor of all time, said that he thought Swedish tenor Jussi Björling was the greatest tenor. His version of Nessun dorma is also a masterpiece.
Would love to see you react to some clips of the three tenors (Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras).
Jussi was recorded on much earlier technology, and i still agree with Pavarotti: Jussi Björling was the GOAT.
Not only did the song say “No sleep tonight” but the words of its last bars say « At dawn, I will win. » So you understood perfectly the meaning of the song, not because you understand italian but because of Pavarotti’s voice power. Welcome to the world of opera!
Loved your reaction as non-opera fans and his final words mean I shall win, I shall win.!!
"This is a victory song". YES. This is a victory song. The final bit--"I WILL conquer". You guys get it. Thanks from someone who missed out on his chance to get the good coaching and make his living on the opera stage
I'm so happy that you did this. Thank you for showcasing one of Pavarotti's most iconic performances.
I am not a fan of opera at all, but when a voice like his comes along, I cannot help but listen.
This is my absolute favorite. Doesn't matter if you know what he is singing about or not. It gives you chills and tears your eyes. It will not be any different when you've heard it once or fifty times.
Amber and J,
I know how y'all feel ... I have heard this many times over the years, but each and every time it leaves me completely speechless!!
Please do more Opera!! 🙏
Loved your reactions!! ❤❤

It always fills me with tears of happiness listening to this. I can’t help it. It makes my soul happy
Sometimes with music it is not about the words, I have never known what they are singing about in Opera, but I am just amazed at the power and the range of the voices. They say you will either love it or hate it, I love Opera!
I will win I will win are words at the end is all I know And I think he will
Never cared that much for lyrics. People nowadays seek words the most out of music. That's just one dimension of music and it should not be limited to it. Music is beyond the conventional way of telling a story, it should be beyond words and break the barrier of language. The voice is just one of and just as important as the other instruments and elements that play into the story telling.
Best. Reaction. EVER. You truly saw the power, brilliance, and exquisite beauty that is Luciano Pavarotti. His voice is still unequalled. I love to watch his eyes as he sings, especially in concert. He was completely in character as he sang, and you can see at the end when he breaks out of character and is Luciano once again. The man was an absolute, and I don't think we'll hear another voice like his ever. Rest in peace, Maestro.
Please, please, please listen to Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, and The Tenors! Andrea and Celine Dion The Prayer, Andrea and Ed Sheran singing Perfect, Andrea with his son Mateo singing Fall on Me….. I can keep going! 🥰
Yes, yes, yes!!!!
🎶OMG! Guys, I cant begin to tell you how much I NEVER believed ONE VOICE and ONE SONG could literally "move me to tears"! I have listened to all kinds of music either recordings or live concerts and plays and NEVER have I ever shed a tear or got welled up...then just now, today, this 62nd year of my life I DID! I wish I could put into words how shocked I was at my emotion during those very last notes Pavarotti belted out. His face. The emotion. The vocal range. Then, that crescendo! Wow! I really did feel a surge of emotion and my eyes welled up and I shed tears! Thank you for that! I still cant believe it and havent even finished watching your comments yet and HAD to share this! 🥰
My favorite classical piece..this song moves me and makes me cry every time. Just lovely!!!❤
The hi-note look on y'all's faces is priceless!

I'm SO happy you have experienced the heavenly ecstasy that is Italian opera, especially in the "bel canto" style (i.e., full rich broad tone). And I would encourage looking up the English translation so when you learn what he is singing about, then his victorious exclamation will be even MORE impactful on you.
This always gives me chills and makes all the hair on my arms stand on end. I always end up in tears just from the emotion of it (and yes, I have no idea what he is singing either).
His look at the end I swear the man saw god after hitting that note… so amazing
You hit the nail on the head! He is singing about a victory which he thinks will become known the next day.
You should hear the 1990 Rome concert, along with Tenors Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Conductor Zubin Mehta. There were 2 full scale orchestras on the stage backing these legendary artists, joining Pavarotti in a great and memorable event.
