    I LOVED your reaction; you felt the music from the very first note. Pavarotti performed this role from the opera "Turandot" MANY times, and in this concert, he is acting the part. At the end when he sings "I will win, I will win, I will win", his facial expressions are part of the act. I've watched many operas right here on "TH-cam", many come with "English subtitles" so you know WHAT it's about. Start with lighter, comical operas like The Barber of Seville (Rossini) and The Marriage of Figaro (Mozart). TH-cam is great, but there is nothing like attending a live performance. I hope you get to do that. ENJOY !!

I love your whole reaction. Please look up the lyrics in English, read the plot of the opera it is from Turandot (too-rahn-doe) and then watch him in the opera. Last step, see ut performed live once the pandemic ends. Music likes this elevates your heart and soul and helps express deep emotions. God bless you as your expand your musical horizons!

      CJ Bonney I have seen Aretha’s performance many times, and it is phenomenal! . The point is that the classical genre is not the norm for all, and to imply that one is uneducated if one doesn’t have exposure implies a value judgment that it is better. We should all be exposed to a wide range of music, valuing it all without placing qualitative judgment on what is better.

    Lyrics to Nessum Dorma.
    None must sleep! None must sleep!
    And you, too, Princess,
    In your cold room,
    Gaze at the stars
    Which tremble with love
    And hope!
    But my mystery is locked within me,
    No-one shall know my name!
    No, no, I shall say it as my mouth
    Meets yours when the dawn is breaking!
    And my kiss will break the silence
    Which makes you mine!
    (No-one shall know his name,
    And we, alas, shall die!)
    Vanish, o night!
    Fade, stars!
    At dawn I shall win!

      @@kennethoriordan7838 In Beijing, at the time of fairy tales, lives Turandot, a beautiful princess with a heart of ice. Many princes ask for her hand, but the princess subjects everyone to a terrible test: if they do not solve three very difficult puzzles, the executioner cuts off their heads. Prince Calaf, son of the king of the Tartars, casually meets his father Timur in Peking, who arrived there after a long exile; with him is also the faithful slave Liù. The prince, in order not to take any risks, recommends that they keep his identity secret. Calaf is so fascinated by Turandot that he himself wants to try the test of the enigmas; the imperial dignitaries Ping, Pong and Pang strongly discourage him from undertaking such a risky undertaking; his father and Liù also beg him to give up, but the prince hears no reason. The following day Calaf manages to solve all of Turandot's puzzles. However, he does not want to marry her against his will, so he offers her a way out: if she can guess her name before dawn, she can sentence him to death. That night Turandot orders that no one sleep in Beijing: her guards knock from door to door to be told the name of the foreign prince. Eventually they find Timur and Liù, and lead them in front of Turandot; Liù sings her secret love for the prince and then, for fear of letting her name escape under torture, she kills herself with a sword. While everyone mourns her death, Calaf, left alone with Turandot, confronts her with firmness, until with a kiss he finally manages to melt her frozen heart. It is now the dawn of the new day when Calaf reveals her name to her, putting her life in her hands. In front of her father emperor and the cheering crowd, Turandot declares that the stranger's name is 'Love', and she embraces him.....

      John Cole John, I know a lot about opera. Pavarotti is the most popular and well known tenor, but he is not the best. We can say he is like a bronze Olympic medalist of opera. This is because Pavarotti’s voice is a little to tight and squeezed, which makes the tone noisy and harsher and less dark and mellow than it should. If you want to hear the best tenor voices in history, listen to Gigli, Caruso, Volker, young Di Stefano, Masini, Set Svanholm, and a few others. The top 2 best tenors in history were Gigli and Caruso. Their voices were nearly perfectly produced and developed.

    Nessun Dorma is probably the most famous aria in opera. The opera title is "Turandot". The story takes place in China and was written by an Italian, "Puccini". I agree that you can enjoy the music without understanding the lyrics especially when Pavarotti is performing. However, before going to an Opera, read the libretto (the story) on line and you will enjoy it more simply by knowing what is going on.

    I cried watching this. I was SO excited to see your reaction, because I know the song & this particular performance of it very well. I knew what was ahead for you, & it was so fun to witness your amazement & emotions, because that's exactly what WE ALL felt the very first time we heard this performance. Watching you was like hearing it for the first time again.
    Thankyou so much for sharing your reactions--it's lovely to watch someone with a true love for music.

    I don't know if it's the song or his voice or the key or what it is... but this song should be studied by scientists for the visceral emotional reaction that it creates in everyone who listens to it. If you don't get chills or tears or feel it touch your soul, you aren't human.

      You just made me try to remember the first time I've heard opera! And I have NO idea! I know I've seen an opera for the first time when I was 10. But definitely I've heard something at home before that. Probably when i was ~5/6 the bits in the movie "Amadeus" or "Pretty Woman". Actually these parts of "La traviata" that are in "Pretty woman" still give me chills. The opera obviously is amazing itself. But combined with the memories of my childhood

      @@Majus555 , thanks. I probably heard it as a kid on WQXR, but it didn't register. But I worked props for a performance of Tosca by the community opera company when I was at Ithaca College. IC's vocal teacher, Elizabeth Baker, played Tosca; the performances were presented up at Cornell. So I count Tosca as my introduction to opera in general.
      Every new form is a combination of shivers of delight and a sense of almost an electric shock. Like discovering Tuvan throat singing after I stumbled on "Genghis Blues"...

    What a wonderful, emotional reaction. I mean absolutely NO disrespect to anyone with this comment, but as an old white guy I finaly figured out why 90% of the music channels I subscribe to are Posts by Blacks.........they listen to the music, and comment about the music. They don't pick music apart, or dissect it. They share how they feel about a song, or an artist. They keep open, objective, minds.....first time hearing the music, or the artists. Even if the music is in a foreign language.......case in point, Nesson Dorma. It is a pleasure listening to someone who isn't trying to tell us how they would have performed the music.....or how knowledgeable they are because they are a "voice/singing coach." Those folks waste my time! I enjoy hearing why, and how much, a person enjoyed what they just listened to.......just as Jay Vee does on his channel.
