It's a bit like me crying like a kid at the end of La Bohème in the middle of the SFO House incapable of stopping and people wondering what the heck was wrong with me...
I did too in Verona when I was 12. I went on a camping trip with my mom and her friends and we went to see Turandot . I was bored at first but soon enthralled with their singing … the best performance I have ever seen from anyone ever !
Always moved to tears... the last scene... a hymn to love. I think if I was to see but one opera in my life, in person, I would chose Turandot. Even more than Aida or Don Giovanni ... Tears run down my face every time I watch it. Such joy!
+David Lounsberry You're in luck. Metropolitan Opera in HD is playing the live performance of Turandot in theaters IMAX. Check out theaters near you. Turandot will be playing live in HD thetaers nationwide on January 30, 2016. Just got myself tickets. Ticket is about 26 bux. Good luck
I had the opportunity to watch this with my mother. I thank my mother who was raised in Estonia and taught me the love of classical music. I did the same with my children and from a second marriage we had a daughter. When she turned three I did the same. I put together a CD with my favorite classical music. After four years of it she wanted me to stop. But what a thrill when I played this in my car she shouted out, “Puccini Dot!” I was almost in tears. She is now a freshman in college.
Possibly, but his ongoing attempts over several years to complete Turandot were futile. The happy ending he envisioned for the Princess and Calef came too quickly after the death of Liu. My speculation is that the ending was at odds with his personal life, the full details of which did not become available until the 21st century.
The Best stage performance, nicely done , great opera. I was proud to be part of it when i was eleven years old, in the chikdren Choir, i used to be in the Colon Theatre in Buenos Aires in 1971.
That's always up for debate. But I don't think anyone will question your personal taste of picking Puccini over Verdi, Rossini, or even Mozart. I watched it live for the first time yesterday's and its fair to say that it's unlike anything I've ever experienced, despite being familiar with the music.
Questo è il finale che il pubblico si aspetta… un trionfo all’amore, alla musica, al genio di Puccini (non lo ha scritto lui ma è bello commemorare così l’ultima sua opera incompiuta!) Mi cascano le palle col finale di Luciano Berio!!!!
magnifique ! Puccini est la plus belle musique au monde et Turandot , l'un des opéras les plus magiques dans le répertoire du bel canto. C'est le seul opéra de Puccini qui se termine par l'amour comparé aux 4 autres chef d'oeuvres qui se terminent par la mort (tosca , mme butterfly, manon , bohême). Ironie du sort , si Puccini écrivit cette scène finale, il ne la jamais mis en scène car il mourut juste avant .
I saw this at movie theaters - the Fathom Events Live in HD - it was great. Obviously I liked it enough to come look it up on TH-cam! I love everyone singing at the end, it's beautiful.
Padre augusto, conosco il nome dello straniero! Il suo nome... è Amor! FOLLA Amor! O sole! Vita! Eternità! Luce del mondo è amore! Ride e canta nel sole l'infinita nostra felicità! Gloria a te! Gloria a te! Gloria! Great father I know the name of the stranger His name is love ALL Love! Oh sun, life, eternity! Light of the world and love! Laugh and sing by the sun Infinite our happiness! Glory tou you ! Gloy to you! Glory!
Padre Augusto: conozco el nombre del extranjero Su nombre es Amor CORO ¡Amor! ¡Oh, sol, vida, eternidad! ¡luz del mundo y del amor! Ríe y cata en el sol, toda nuestra infinita Felicidad. ¡Gloria a ti! ¡Gloria a ti! ¡Gloria!
Sin saber yo italiano, cuando descubrí Nessum Forma, me conmovió... Pero cuando pude escuchar Turandot hasta el final tiempo después en un momento esperanzado de mi juventud, las lágrimas de felicidad me embargaron y me enanoraron
Oh pleeeze.....all Operas are fussy. This happens to be one of my favorites (and I work in backstage production). If I wanted to hear a couple of people standing onstage, singing with minimal costumes and sets, I would listen to a recording. THIS IS WHAT REAL OPERA IS ABOUT!!
@crespogod09 i also was in my teens when I discovered the opera, and now at 38, still hooked. There is absolutely nothing wrong with appreciating a wonderfull form of art as opera is.... When you can apperciate music like this, you will find out that you will start listnening to all other music in different perspective.
I saw this live and nearly lost control of every faculty I had left by the end. Unimaginable and Unforgettable all at once!
Now that how every opera should be. It's not chamber music by any means.
Absolutely gorgeous. The consummate opera. @@bodeaalex1142

No matter how many times I listen to it, the finale never fails to bring chills
Always moved to tears... the last scene... a hymn to love. I think if I was to see but one opera in my life, in person, I would chose Turandot. Even more than Aida or Don Giovanni ... Tears run down my face every time I watch it. Such joy!
This is the scene that made me fall in love with opera!!! This music reaches to the depths of the soul......brava!!!! Encore!
this makes us remember that la vita è un miraccolo
Moved to tears and seemingly endless goosebumps. Wonder how extraordinary it would have been to see this live. I have to see it

I've seen it. Twice. Once from Row D. I am beyond fortunate.
I was fortunate enough to have been on stage for this at the Academy Of Music in Phila....trust me, take your goosebumps and multiply by 100!...lol
My favorite opera.
"His name is...love!" Beautiful....
Oh yes. Beautiful.
I'd say his name is "Selfishness" and her name is "Cruelty"
OMG, I FINALLY FOUND THIS MASTERPIECE I LOOKED FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE!
BRILLIANT, BLOODY BRILLIANT!
*claps*
Fantastico. Lloro cada vez que lo escucho. Puede algo ser más sublime que La Música! Gloria! Gloria Giaccomo!
Puccini es TODO!
Para mi es inevitable también el llorar de emoción e inspirarme
Nada más sublime amigo, yo igual lloro toda vez que disfruto estas maravillas.
1.04 - 2.06: Top five in the history of music.
Long live Puccini!
Long live Turandot!
Long live classical music!
Sorry to burst the bubble.
The finale was not written by Puccini. He died before he could finish the opera
To reinflate that bubble, from 1.04 - 2.06 is the main Turandot theme, notably heard in Nessun Dorma
It's still Puccini's music
@@davidsenatore1880 Long Live Franco Zefferelli
@@pKbasten Do you mean Franco Alfano?
And it always sounds like it is composed TODAY. DIVINE MUSIC
I think Puccini would’ve been pleased at how his unfinished opera turned out
Possibly, but his ongoing attempts over several years to complete Turandot were futile. The happy ending he envisioned for the Princess and Calef came too quickly after the death of Liu.

Glorious Marton ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
¡Bravo, Plácido Domingo!
I love Puccini,,,I think he is the greatest Italian composer ever, surely the most Romantic one greater then Verdi or Rossini!

Puccini is the greatest VERIST Italian. That much is true.
La folla
Amor! O sole! Vita! Eternità!
Luce del mondo e amore!
Ride e canta nel sole l'infinità nostra felicità!
Gloria a te! Gloria a te! Gloria!
That cadence is so powerful and beautiful!! 💕💕
We saw this production at the MET and were just floored!
Brilliant, to say the least.
bellissima, favolosa e fedele scenografia del maestro Zeffirelli, imparate registi "moderni" che create degli orrori.....
Ed e,' Italianissima
Questo è il finale che il pubblico si aspetta… un trionfo all’amore, alla musica, al genio di Puccini (non lo ha scritto lui ma è bello commemorare così l’ultima sua opera incompiuta!)
Mi cascano le palle col finale di Luciano Berio!!!!
truly magnificent today, I saw it live in HD. The highest form of human creation with our voices.
questa scena mi mette i brividi !!! troppo bella !!!
The grandest scene in ALL of Grand Opera...
Bellissima e commovente.
ABSOLUTELY!!! one of the BEAT uses of Opera/Classical in a movie!!!
Doug at the end: "I think I nailed him"
The best Final ever! Thank you Puccini/Alfano. What a Orchestra Sound! Full Brass. WOW
@SickForest Great effort for the benefit of us all!!!! Congratulations and many many thanks !
Regardless of the place where you have the chance to see this opera, is inevitable to surrender to its magestic ending.
Ahhh this is the one that gets me every time.
Puccini vivrà per sempre
Siiiiiii😍🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 se tutti continueremo ad Amare la sua Musica!!!!!!!!Miracolo per sempre
a masterpieces. wonderfull.

Beautiful
Fantastic!
Fabulous!!
What amazing an set!
Extraordinario. Turandot!!!!! La mejor que hizo Puccini para mí. Impecable
Daria a vida para assistir só vivo
Beautiful!
And I love the Nessun Dorma bit they put in (I wonder what Puccini really had in mind?).
Maravillosa
Padre augusto,
conosco il nome dello straniero!
Il suo nome... è Amor!
FOLLA

an amazing opera
Opera d Arte tutta Italiana 🇮🇹🇮🇹😊😁🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥰🥰🥰 viva l Amore
i was in 5th grade when i got introduced to this play when it was mentioned in A Begonia for Mrs. Applebaum. i have been in love ever since
Thank you :D
They just had a commercial for this opera on TV. They showed this scene. I was mesmerized.
Magnifique avec Eva Marton et Placido Domingo !
No existe quién cante Nessun Dorma...
cómo PLACIDO....!!! Gloria.
"I think I nailed him"
Less than William was looking for that
Everyone seem not to know or credit Franco Zefferlli's brilliant stage design and the Director.
Just cried my eyes out....
Maraviloso
Mi emoziona sempre
Es la cosa mas hermosa que he escuchado amoooo Turandot.... 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️🌈
Sin saber yo italiano, cuando descubrí Nessum Forma, me conmovió... Pero cuando pude escuchar Turandot hasta el final tiempo después en un momento esperanzado de mi juventud, las lágrimas de felicidad me embargaron y me enanoraron
Ciao, hai ragione perché è Italiana 🇮🇹🇮🇹😊😉
@@camiloernestohernandezrinc7823 Siamo tutti Latini e Italiani 🤪🇮🇹😊😊😁🥲🇮🇹😊😁
also this is the best version ever!!!!!!
I prefer Zubin Mehta's with Pavarotto and Sutherland.
Bernhard callas and de stefano recording is the best.
That is the way Turandot needs to look like: very colourful and traditional, not modern!
Oh pleeeze.....all Operas are fussy. This happens to be one of my favorites (and I work in backstage production). If I wanted to hear a couple of people standing onstage, singing with minimal costumes and sets, I would listen to a recording. THIS IS WHAT REAL OPERA IS ABOUT!!
No existe otro espectáculo como éste.
Barvo, Plácido Domingo!
I am 16 years too, i Love Puccini is a wonderful opera composer, turandot is really a great opera. ( Sorry for my bad english XD )
impresionante al igual que su presentación en 1989!!
chills
Simplesmente divino. Obrigado meu Deus. Obrigado giacomo
What fun. It's like the fans are used like a big version of Jazz Hands.
Best comment - ever. ☺
very very good
W l'Italia!!!! da Un italiana🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹💙🇮🇹💙🇮🇹💙🇮🇹🤍💙🇮🇹🤍🤍😍😍😍😍
The beautiful ending of puccini's opera which completed by a friend after his death and yet his most famous area Nessum. Bravi
Un grazie al grande maestro Zeffirelli!
Anyone here after watching the 5min IMAX trailer of Godzilla KOTM? :D
They have to release the version of this song they used that trailer. It sounds so fucking beautiful!
Eu estava chorando e sofrendo. Mas a ópera acabou sofrendo e doendo.
grande opera............
@paulfesta
108! Unbelievable! Rest in Peace.
Is this the Zefferelli production?? It's so kitsch and over-the-top!!!
Once ... I will see it live. Once at least.
Nothing compares to “A grande opera”
I need to see this live before I die
Gran final!!!! Gracias F Alfano
Un genio incomprendido, Alfano. !Qué lástima!
Italia 90 forever!
my favorite opera (L)
o sole o vita !!!
@crespogod09 i also was in my teens when I discovered the opera, and now at 38, still hooked. There is absolutely nothing wrong with appreciating a wonderfull form of art as opera is....

La representación de ópera mas bella jamás realizada.
Excepto que llegan Meistersinger y Lohengrin por esa puerta y ñañaña
great. crespogod09. this music is probably as immortal as we can get.
so thats where nessun dorma comes from! awesome
Goddamn, such a great ending!
@TheLotusdragonfly
This particular performance is available on DVD
bravo
O sole! Vita! Eternità!
Luce del mondo è amore!
The Hallifax Highlanders from someone's custom NHL league from a video game brought me here. Beautiful song.
? what game ?
@@meropemerope6096 An NHL videogame. Someone did a custom league where this was one of the team's goal songs.
The team is from a movie. That being goon
Benefiting and experiencing culture from TH-cam, aka things I would never get to see live.
Yeesh, those sopranos in the chorus are just wailing. Still, probably the most beautiful stage set I have EVER seen for ANY opera.
...OMG!
