You do realize that CARTOONS KEPT this music ALIVE back in the day !!! I NEED TO SEE AND HEAR THOSE SLEDGE HAMMERS STRIKE IN TIME !!!!!!! O.M.G. !!! THE "CHILLS"
Excellent point! I grew up watching Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker and others using classics as background for their sketches, and they became part of my childhood. Later this knowledge drove me to listen to and appreciate the originals.
i enjoyed this live at The MET. Superb production. Bravi! Ascoltando questa splendida composizione di Giuseppe Verdi mi sento orgoglioso do essere Italiano.
A young conductor asked Arturo Toscanini, arguably the greatest conductor in opera history, how to conduct this piece. Toscanini's response? "Listen to the women when they do their laundry by the river. They get it right every time."
To be more accurate, he said to go the Po River near Parma, where the women are cleaning and beating their laundry in the river, while singing. It gives it a little more context regarding the tempo of the chorus.
Ho lavorato in una fabbrica, e questa melodia è sempre stata nella mia mente.... i love to finally see it in action... might have to check out the full opera before i croak...
One time in college a friend of mine had massive speakers in an Mg rover. All the usual souped up guys in the tesco car park were playing some crap so we drover by with this belting out and their faces just imploded.
Singing was commonly used in all sorts of work, throughout history. Think this song and sing "I've been workin' on the railroad....." and you'll get the idea. I mean, its very likely Verdi heard factory workers hammering steel to a rhythm which may have inspired this piece.
@@edgarbm6407 Still, they are opera singers. Hard physical exercise, especially in rhythm is not on their daily schedule. It's impressive and probably took quite a long time to get it right.
1:02 what is the exact lyrics: "Chi del gitano i giorni abbella? Chi del gitano i giorni abbella? Chi? Chi? Chi? gior-ni-ab-bel-la ! men only: 1:25 Chi del gitano i giorni abbella? and together: La zingarella !!!"
"Holy shit! This place is crawling with cops, get us out of here Toni!" "Where do we go now?" "Callahan Bridge!" "But Callahan bridge aint finished yet." "Were both gonna be finished if you don't drive!"
Wow. I was actually able to find the name of this from ChatGPT. It gave me some wrong ones at first, but they were still songs you always hear in cartoons but never know the name of. So, it was nice for a change. As shifty and manipulative and literally sociopathic chatgpt is, I was impressed for once. In retrospect, I could have just uploaded an mp3 of me humming the tune to ChatGPT and would have got the right answer off the bat.
When I hear this song, I can't help but thinking of Popeye pounding on an opponent. It's true that cartoons like Popeye introduced a large number of kids to the classics!
@@chpsilva The other operatic masterpiece I remember from Popeye is when he's in a bullfighting ring and the Toreador song starts playing as the bull's charging him.
This masterpiece is about 2h and 40 minutes and you think it's the most difficult planning it has ever existed? Should i introduce you to Wagner and his famous "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (who talk about the same legend who inspired tolkien to wrote about the lord of the ring? ) "Der Ring des Nibelungen" is ~15 hours long! I'm sure you understand how wrong you where when saying that a 2h40 long opera planning surpasses a ~15 hours long one.
Grazie, l' opera è bellissima, mi chiedo.... perché la scenografia ha sempre lo sfondo scurissimo, mi fa soffrire, lo trovo deprimente, che peccato 😢😢😢
Oh Giuseppe! Nearly two centuries, and still you inspire us.
He died in 1901
@@josephmiele2277 Il Trovatore is from 1853 and it is indeed nearly two centuries ago :)
Verdi is a genius for using hammers and anvils as percussion instruments. It adds some thematic and flavor.
Good to know that all of those anvil lessons didn't go to waste.
Lol
hahaha. well played!
This makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, absolutely incredible.
you are not the only one (this is one of my favorite parts) absolutely love this
Same here!!!
Lol
Music and muscles?! Powerful stuff. A treat for the eyes as well as the ears.

Perv!
I agree!

Mis read this to the overture of the sound of music lyrics. Also heard Christopher Plummer died
I like classical music and opera because of Bugs Bunny!

Just sublime and this performance starred the late Great Baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky - who had a voice like melted chocolate. RIP Dimi!
I remember his smile when the audience greeted him with such enthusiasm on his return. It's good that he knew how much audiences loved him.
The best performance of this piece of musical magic.

I have seen this opera live in Oporto, Portugal back in the 80s
La mejor representación que alguna vez haya yo visto de las muchas que vi. Para aplaudir de pue
Great performance. spirited. Excellent tempo. Great anvil.
!!!BRAVISSIMO!!
Dude by himself on the left had a special vibe with that hammer. XD
Thank you to the CME commercial that lead me to this gem 💎.
all of it... acting, singing, costumes, lighting, staging... incredibly powerful piece. thank you!
I’ve had this stuck in my head for two days and I have no idea why, or how I found it.
I love this music
Oh god- goosebumps all over when it kicks off at 1:03 and again at 2:23!
Yes, indeed!!!
Many people seem to feel the same, as 1:03 is the most replayed part.
TE HACE IR EN EL TIEMPO A ESOS MOMENTOS EVOCADOS DE ESTA OBRA
Bravo!! I had tears! Well done!
The Met spares no expense when it comes to elaborate, expensive stage sets.
Imagine being in the room! Imagine the boom of their voices!
Absolutely brilliant
Impresionante.
QUE ESPECTACULAR OPERA DE LAS MEJORES ACTUACION CANTO Y ESTA OBRA SINFONICA ES UNICQ
Just beautiful.
Great production!

amazingly beautifully done
That's some powerful back beat!
Spectacular and quite emotional
Awesome!
Listening after reading Rick Atkinson’s An Army at Dawn, in which he mentions this passage was a favorite of Dwight Eisenhower.
Awesome performance 👏 👌, bravo 👏 love it
Love this!
Just got tickets to see this at The Met, I'll let you all know how it is
Amazing...
Reminds me if when i used to play GTA LCS
Outstanding!!

Sublime...
I click on this video whenever i see it. so cool!
1:02 what is the exact lyrics:
"Chi del gitano i giorni abbella?
Chi del gitano i giorni abbella?
Chi? Chi? Chi? gior-ni-ab-bel-la !
men only:
1:25 Chi del gitano i giorni abbella?
and together:
La zingarella !!!"
Perfection. *mwha*
It always seems that Operas always put more work into the production than standard play/musicals.
Eu amei ❤

Wich instrument do you play? The anvil
Apparently "with cat-like tread" from "the Pirates of Penzance" by Sir Arthur Sullivan was a parody of Verdi's Anvil Chorus.
❤❤❤
la mejor version
"Holy shit! This place is crawling with cops, get us out of here Toni!"
"Where do we go now?"
"Callahan Bridge!"
"But Callahan bridge aint finished yet."
"Were both gonna be finished if you don't drive!"

Ñame of the director? Or production?
Il Trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi
2011 met production ( i think)
@@fadlurohman8194 Yep, this is the 2011 production - some of the blacksmiths are different in the 2015.
Are they available for hire for home repair project? (Dressed as they are is fine.)

Oh for what id give to be cast as hunky anvil gypsy #4
"A Night At the Opera" with Harpo running loose in the chorus.
The amount of planning in this one scene surpasses any music
This masterpiece is about 2h and 40 minutes and you think it's the most difficult planning it has ever existed?
Should i introduce you to Wagner and his famous "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (who talk about the same legend who inspired tolkien to wrote about the lord of the ring? )

1:00 Just leaving myself a fast forward button for later.
So many men, so little time.
Is that a large crucifix to the left? What can it mean?
It means that the events are taking place in a Roman Catholic country where the Suffering Christ is equated with the Oppressed People.
It’s also burned like the gypsy who was burned at the stake before the opera takes place. It’s her “curse” that sets the tragedy in motion
GTA Liberty City Stories bought me here❤️❤️
que parte de la historia quería representar verdi con esta escena?
El canto y la alegría al trabajo duro, a las gitanas y al buen vino.

Those are anvils? Sounds like sword fighting.
Somewhere Bad Santa is hammering a mall safe...
How did they find so many swole men to be in an opera? 😅
Are you kidding?! This is New York City, where everyone wants to be swole. And it’s a prerequisite in the gay community 😅
