Pavarotti goes deep into character and with his amazing voice he is the man in agony, whose very soul is torn and yet the show must go on. One of the most amazing moments in opera. My Dad used to play the opera "Pagliacci" for us and this was the highlight.
Another emotional aria is from Tosca - "E lucevan le stelle". He is a man who is about to be executed and this is with English subtitles. He performed it in 1978. Absolute brilliance.
I enjoyed your heartfelt reaction to the devastating and glorious performance of this towering masterpiece. I've heard and seen this more times than I can count, and it still overwhelms me every time. If you loved this performance, allow me to suggest Pavarotti's wonderful rendition of "Nessun Dorma." It is as thrilling and soaring as this great piece is crushingly tragic.
I really appreciated your spontaneous and genuine reaction to the voice of the great Luciano! His interpretation was so intended to arouse in you that you do not know the language, the emotions that the Maestro wanted to communicate. Thank you for your reaction despite being young and not very used to the opera.
This is how powerful opera can be when sung by the right singer. If the singer cannot deliver, it becomes excruciatingly bad! There are very few singers anymore that can deliver in this way. As as singer ages, it becomes more and more difficult to pull this off. Here, Pavarotti was still in his prime and singing like no one else could at the time, or since! Great video and reaction!
I always wanted to see Pavarotti perform live, unfortunately I missed my opportunity. His voice was incredibly moving, you never needed to understand the lyrics. Thank you for sharing your reaction Sarah ❤️
The height of Pavarotti is the power to reach the soul of the people with his maglificent voice and his actibg performance! So even Who doesn’t understand italian can feel the deep sadnes of a man Who lose his love with a broker heart.
It is said that if you are moved by opera then you have the Soul of an Artist... Meastro you left us with your brilliance and performance The Lord called you home he missed your voice in his hall... God bless you be at Peace. 💙
For those who want background - this scene takes place in the middle of an opera called "I Pagliacci". The aria, called "Vesti la giubba" - (Ves-tee lah djoo-bah) translates to "Put on the costume". Pavarotti plays the role of Canio, the leader of a small performing ensemble. Canio is incredibly jealous for his wife and has just found out that his she has been unfaithful to him. Now he sings about how he has to put on a happy face and perform for the public who are expecting a comedy, even as he is mourning. At 1:45 the "You are a clown" line, then, is especially significant because he's no longer speaking about just his vocation.
If you enjoy seeing masters of classical singing styles like this another i would recommend, albeit from a different genre, would be to watch Franzl Lang Yodelling , watch the mouth and be amazed at the speed of the changes and control of sound (start with the video where he is in the green hat with a large pomf on the tip)
If you are looking further afield than pop music, you should look at "If I were a rich man" from Fiddle on the Roof. Not heard it or seen the film for a couple of decades. It would be good to hear it again whilst seeing you react to it. (It is more lighthearted than this one!)
In the play (Pagliachio), he has just been told by friends that his wife, whom he saved from a life in the streets, has been unfaithful and is cheating on him. He does not yet know with whom she is having an affair. In the last act of the play (No! Pagliachio Non-Sun! No! I am not a clown!) he confronts his wife, demanding to know who her lover is. You won't want to miss it. Another good aria from another opera is Una Furtiva LaGrima (One Secret Tear), where he sees the woman he secretly loves cry a single tear as she watches the young girls and their beaus dancing and flirting. She is over the usual age of marriage and lonely. When he sees her tear he knows he can win her heart and make her happy.
I recomend you to hear from Pavarotti,Che gelida manina,E lucevan le stelle,recondita armonia,core n grato and from Rossini operas,Il barbieri di seviglia,the Abbado version,is too long,I star in the middle of the video.And La cenenterola,the Abado version too.
“Vesti la Giubba”, pronounced “Vestee la Jewbbia”, means “put on your costume”. It’s a song much like Freddie Mercury’s “The Show Must Go On”. I met Pavarotti in the late 80s/early 90s, backstage at Place des Arts as I was there for a piano which had just been reconditioned and was being delivered. We shared a plate of homemade gnocci together which I’d brought for my lunch. We laughed, we talked, and then we both went our separate ways. He was a kind man, a simple man despite his fame. He’d come up to me when I’d sworn out loud in Italian, forgetting where I was, and the sound had reverberated throughout the place. “Who speak Italian here?” Were the first words he’d said to me. His last words to me were “Arrivederci, Bambola” (Until I see you again, Little Doll). “Nessun Dorme” is pronounced “Nessoon dormeh” as in “meh”, for your information, case you wanted to know. The “u” in Italian is pronounced “oo”; this will help you 😊 You seem like a really sweet, empathic young woman. May this world spare you its pains. God bless, guide and protect you and yours, always🙏🏻💞 Liked and subscribed 😘🥰🌹
Wow! It's so great to see young people from other cultures appreciating opera. If you are new to it, I've got you four very different suggestions that are one of the best in my opinion: "La Donna e' mobile" - by Pavarotti or better the whole scene from the same opera: "Bella Figlia DellAmore Pavarotti Sutherland Rigoletto quartet" "Carmen - Habanera (Bizet, Anna Caterina Antonacci, The Royal Opera)" "The Magic Flute - Queen of the Night aria (Mozart, Diana Damrau, the Royal Opera)" (Edition:) No five, I almost forgot the funniest one: "The 3 Tenors O Sole Mio 1994"
If Pavarotti is the GOAT of all tenors (wich he is, if you ask me), i have to change your version of Carmen for the GOAT of all sopranos, the one and only: "Maria Callas Live: Bizet's Carmen Habanera, Hamburg 1962".
You got it right but go check the story. That's the moment that the character ( who is an actual clown for a living! Not just methaphorical! ) Decides to kill his cheating wife. So it is a change in the the brain. Tou also see him becomming a monster in a way. So when you know the story it is not just empathy for him
From a long ago Star Trek paperback novel, lieutenant Uhuru's reaction to an opera rehearsal: "Captain, I fail to appreciate the significance of a corpulent diva braying in Italian!" Just keeping it light 👼😁
Sorry its not class, don't sully an opera reaction by requesting 2 popera stars whose voices weren't even close to being powerful enough to make it as real opera stars
@@jackwhitbread4583 It miight not be class in your opinion but they did get a standing ovation. This sounds a bit snobbish to me then again I'm just a peasant.All the best and stay safe.
Story goes like this: Canio (Pavarotti) is married with Nedda, but she doesn't love him, as she loves Silvio in his stead. Moments before this famous aria, Canio, aided by Tonio who also loves Nedda but he's refused by her, saw Nedda together with another man. Full of jealousy he forces Nedda to tell him her lover's name, but she refuses. Soon after, Beppe warns Canio and Nedda that the show is about to begin (they are clowns). Ironically the play they are about to perform sees Colombine (Nedda) and his lover Harlequin make a fool out of Pagliaccio (Canio). That's why this piece is so emotional: Canio cannot show his true intentions (he wants to murder Silvio, Nedda's lover), as he must play the part of the foolish, gullible Pagliaccio, hiding his feelings behind a mask.
6:08 - very interesting bit about Joker and Harley-Quinn! The Harley Quinn name is a play on words - since the Joker and his sidekick are clowns, the writers pulled from history. Harley-Quinn is actually pulled from Harlequin, and English version of the word 'Arlecchino' - "Are-leh-key-no". The character of Arlecchino goes back to the middle ages, where these characters like Columbina, Arlecchino and others are pulled from. There was a type of show called "Commedia dell'arte" translated "Comedy of the artists". They wore distinctive costumes and masks to help the audience identify who was who. The roles of the characters were clear in each show. Arlecchino was a servant, often a 'country bumpkin', a young man who has recently come into the city looking for work. He is young, naïve, and eager to please. Columbina is often a central character, around whom the plots revolve. She's clever and witty and knows how to work around the other characters in the play who are not quick as she is.
Omg again Pavarotti 😅😅😅😅I love him. He is lyric tenor , but for this aria better dramatic tenor . He is awesome tenor , but not the best one . Just compare the same aria of Pagliacci with another tenors or Try Aria "Una furtiva lagrima " Di Stefano(tenor ) . Or another aria" E lucevan le estrelle " with Mario del Monaco (the best dramatic tenor) , Mario Lanza , Corelli .
WEAR THE JACKET is the personal drama of a clown, who offers his audience a smile, hiding the sufferings that life has given him, his circus is his reason for living, in short words, it is better to pretend to be an acrobat than to feel a failure .... this work is art ... Greetings from Italy......

Very sad, thank you so much Janet 🙂
I also wish I had heard him live. But when he was alive, I was still a kid, far to "cool" for classical concerts.

Fabulous choice! Watch him sing Caruso live in Paris! Another beautiful, powerful, emotional performance. You'll love it.
Luciano we miss you so much ❤
Just minutes before- he (Canio- the character) had found out that his wife had been unfaithful. But the show must go on!
Oh wow

Added, thank you
Love that song and the entire movie, a classic.
@@SarahDengler This is the version from the film that Pat is talking about:: "Fiddler on the roof - If I were a rich man (with subtitles)"
Wow, nice to see what opera does with your emotions. There is a lot to discover!

Are you Evan a man...he projects the shame towards his self instead of his wife and brother. Powerful and honest
Have you had a look at Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman - Time To Say Goodbye (HD).? It is just class.
I prefer his solo version ‘Con te partirò’

You should see the whole opera pagliacci. This part is about his brother stealing his wife.
Struggled to get through this with the subtitles. They were all wrong and whoever attached the subtitles ought to be ashamed
Sorry about that, it's the auto CC I will correct that shortly
The character has discovered his wife is having an affair... laugh at the clown...

This is beautiful. I prefer Placido Domingo's Vesti la Giubba. And Pavarotti excels in Nessun Dorma. But this was gorgeous nonetheless

Porque, Pavarotti, es muy seguido sin gusto, es mucho mejor Kraus y Domingo, y ahora Kaufman

Please, you need to see more opera
This version is incredible. Especially that fact that he was not that young during this live … And your reactions are gorgeous
Listen to Ave Maria. Luciano sings the Hail Mary prayer.
Hello. Loved your reaction.
Can you please tell me the name of the song you used in your intro?
Je préfère Mario lanza
And to think this is not even the best performance
It is a Opera

Not a SONG please do not use bad language this is an ARIA a huge difference, we will forgive you this time but don't do it again.
well, I find that all the opera of the 1800s (and early 1900s) is full of rhetoric
