Maestro is beautiful beyond many people I have met. 24-48 hrs. I miss him talking or performing.I started using word beyond at middle school 10 or 11yrs. old.The 70’s.He is beyond lovely😘🇮🇹🕊🥰🎤💕❤️⏰
Luciano, you were absolutely correct in saying your last few sentences. "They thing that they are the ultimate judge...they think they have the right to applaud or boo, and if you want my opinion, they are right!" Bravo to my favorite tenor ever.
Can't agree with that. Booing is a metaphoric "F-- you" to the performer on stage. Why would you say "F--- you" to a performer for blowing a high note? As if it were done on purpose? Ridiculous!
@@MrCC379 Because their money went into the performers pockets for those high notes? It is as if you received bad products from Amazon, and you give a genuine, but bad review, how is that giving the seller "f-- you"? You paid for what you expect. He was a tenor, they paid for the stunning high notes sang live, it's not personal.
Maruk Chozt Booing is a mild form of harassment! If you don’t like someone’s high note, then don’t applaud! And it not about the high note. It’s about the overall beauty of opera, period!!
@@charlescoleman5509 No. People like to think that it's a harassment because kids nowadays boo people for no good reasons, and a bunch of fake performers are way too sensitive.
@@flav2689 I may be reading into it too much, but I believe he meant that as "they are right that they *think* they've got the right to applaud and or to boo" not that they really have the right to do so
Everyone has an off night. People need to get over that and respect the time and dedication one puts into their craft. Pavarotti is one of the greatest singers of all time. All the haters out there who booed him on that night can piss off. He was the on stage, not the. RIP Pavarotti, thank you for sharing your great gift with the entire world.
+MusicDude86 Funny- you are here are posting and saying that folks should never dare boo that star of a performance. Pavarotti says you are wrong and that the true fans of the Opera can and should!!
He was 57 at the time. He could have been perfectly healthy and warm and this is a possibility at this age. His technique was very good, but he did put a lot of weight on his voice for years, so he didn't have the same longevity as Gedda or Kraus, who I think had better technique. Pavarotti had better technique when he was in his 30's than when he was in the prime of his career IMO.
Todos los cantantes son seres humanos antes que cualquier cosa. Grandes cantantes anteriores al gordo en cuestión también tuvieron su crack memorable. Y las razones pueden ser muchísimas y no siempre posibles de prever. Pavarotti era en sus comienzos casi un tenor ligero y rápidamente pasó a lírico, pero empezó a cantar muchos roles de tenor verdiano y su voz se empezó a afectar.
What an absolute gentleman. It is not a humiliation here but rather a display of incredible humility. What wouldn't we give to have him back in Don Carlos or anything else, just one more time.
If anybody thinks that the very greatest singers never crack in live performance they are much mistaken.I have even heard a soprano booed at the Paris Opera because she caught a bit of mucus on one single high note. Audiences can be totally unforgiving. That is why only those with nerves of steel can succeed and maintain a major operatic career - always exposed, only as good as your next performance.
It's part of live performance. It's what gives us both anxiety and courage ... because it's not easy nor automatic that things are gonna go as they usually do. Its exciting and nerve wracking!
Que hombre más humilde y bueno. Eso es ser grande. La crítica a mi punto de vista fué extremamente exagerada, pero él la acepta por saber, que no es perfecto. Bravo, Luciano, no sólo cantas divinamente eres uns ser humano grande y sincero. Siempre seguirás viviendo!
I saw an interview or read somewhere that he thought that accepting the offer to sing Don Carlo at La Scala was a bad decision way before opening night. He said he knew it was a mistake, and it went against his better judgment. I sure do love him.
That is a surprisingly humble Pav. Showing him a humiliating moment on stage is a bit mean, but hey, he took it. He didn't yell back, like Corelli would have. Lol.

what I see in the comments, saying the public doesn't know all the effort a tenor should go through, and that's why they got no right to boo him... Get a grip. Of course audience is not supposed to know that, they should only care for the performance in that moment. Every singer knows there's the risk of failure, and booing, but real artists know the difference and good for not blinding by their own pride and recognize when doing wrong. I guess is what has got us with the "opera singers" we have nowadays. A mediocre sight on critics, instead of analyzing them throughly before disregarding them. Bravo Pavarotti!

Well Pavarotti was wrong. Just because he's a good singer doesn't mean he is right about everything. Booing is downright disrespectful and if you sir have ever done or considered doing it you are an asshole and you deserve to be slapped in the face.
Sinceramente soy de la opinón que el gran tenor Luciano Pavarotti no se merecía tal "abucheo" por respeto a esa gran figura y a todo lo que representa, nos ha entregado su inmensa carrera llena de pasión y gran telento, simplemente con no apluadirle era sufiente, pero si prestan atención a toda la ópera se darán cuenta que cantó un "Don Carlo" de antología, BRAVO MAESTRO!!!!!
"and if you want my opinion, they are right" - woa. i got whiplash from his answer and where I thought he was going. only a true master would say that.
Pavarotti was beyond gracious in his reaction to the cruelty of the loggionisti. What a bunch of sh*ts. They can judge his singing all they want, but that does not give them the right to be so rude and humiliate a performer.

The very first time I heard Pavarotti sing live on stage (Lucia SFO) he cracked. They had announced that he was indisposed but consented to sing anyway. In fact Adler had twisted his arm. He wasn't a big star then. The point is that Pavarotti had real solid technique. In spite of a grueling schedule he very seldom cancelled. Pavarotti was very reliable. Emphasizing his rare failures seems petty.
The greatest honor/memory of L.P. beholding my wife's tears of joy meeting the great big master (of talent, physical size and most of all heart) in NYC tower Records, was in the shaking of his gentle hand and while grasping his upper arm, as he did same in return with a kiss on her face... with tears in my eyes/pain in my heart and soul then and as in every time I hear or think of him now. The line to meet him when on outside for many blocks, and Towers employee's were frantic to get him out of the store by any means and close, but he waved them off and would not leave that store until 2-3 AM after everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, who came to meet the beautiful soul/him and get as many album autographs, photo's taken along beside him, with handshakes, hugs, and kisses a plenty to last a lifetime of memory.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory of Pavarotti. Tears came to my eyes as I read your words. What a beautiful artist! What a beautiful man! What a beautiful soul!
una imperfezione a un grande si perdona e quel salto è una scommessa per chiunque! quante note sbagliate della Callas Schipa o Tebaldi o Gigli o chiunque sono state eseguite? eppure uno non può essere fischiato per una nota se tutto il resto è perfetto! nei fischi della scala conta molto la simpatia che quel tipo di pubblico nutre per un artista! hanno fischiato Pavarotti ma hanno osannato un Falstaff cantato da far piangere in quel ormai lontano 92-93 a voi le conclusioni!
@@kbhprinsesse ma certo! alla scala sono stati fischiati tutti, senza che se ne facesse un dramma ....., l' artista in primis ,che difatti successivamente tornava ad essere applaudito.... L" atteggiamento di fischiare a me non piace , a meno che non sia proprio una scarpa e si abbia la sensazione di poca preparazione, piccoli incidenti fanno parte della vita di ogni cantante che in genere cerca di dare il meglio di se stesso ,e se ben ricordo ad aver accettato con più filosofia in quel don Carlo i fischi ( rivolto al' intero cast ) fu proprio Pavarotti .... Molto spesso alla scala ( come in qualsiasi teatrato ) poi hanno accettato di dare dei trionfi a delle edizioni opinabili come al Falstaff scaligero proprio della stessa edizione del don Carlo, credo che Pavarotti si sia attirato in quegli anni molta antipatia su di se per delle cose che con l' opera scritta in musica hanno poco da spartire quindi hanno aspettato una piccola incrinatura che dal vivo e in quel punto dello spartito capita al 99 per cento dei tenori per poterlo fischiare .
The modern day's oversensitive and egocentric "singers" and "musicians" (myself included) is something they all need to hear and remember once and forever. Maestro shows his professionalism here when he defends in his last statement the people who booed him for one single mistake (voice crack). That maybe a harsh, but it's a test every musical performer/composer has to went through, because if the audience is booing, it's not their problems, but the performer's. If something went wrong, you have to work and improve to never let that happen again. Push your ego aside, analyze your performance to figure out what exactly went wrong and just evolve and improve your skills to never let that happen again. I ironically like how the pop stars and the hucksters (if that makes sense) love showing off how much money they earned on selling their albums to shut up the audience who are booing them. The money is not a judge, it's the audience. The money doesn't go there to listen to your songs and your music, it's the Audience who brings them money, and the Audience has a right to judge. If the performer win they applaud, if the performer fails they boo. And if you try to shut them up and say that they know nothin they hate. "Oh, I have 200 million dollars on my bank account!" And you failed to find a vocal coach who can teach you how to sing live without autotune?
Maestro's goixe mightve cracked but it proves the man is human, it doesnt beat the fact that he has accomplished amazing things already and people forget that he was not in his prime.
After watching twosetviolin, i can sort of understand the stress of this classical musician/singer. The audience is perfectionist and the critics are crazy
They are right! They have every right not to be satisfied. Also not to be Pavarotti. Or Sutherland. Or a great singer. Or a singer. Or an artist. Or someone who enjoys its own purpose in life. We all do have those rights
The people that feel they have the right to boo, are suffering from deep envy, so booing a great artist makes them feel better about themselves They are miserable people with many flaws. To avoid dealing with these flaws, they project their flaws onto someone else and then criticize that person. Better to criticize someone else than yourself. The great violinist Heifetz once said 99 percent of the people who go see him perform, go to see him make a mistake. Trust me, Pavarotti don't really mean when he says that these critics have the right to boo, he is being generous.
No he does mean that, he is Italian born in 1935 in an era where booing and cheering and being ALIVE and not passively applauding every shit you see on stage like they do at the Met was the norm. He is right. Educate yourself better about history Italian opera, which never was only about "listening to music". If people booed more often today, especially burger Americans, who have affected Europe with their horrible taste, we wouldn't have pseudo aritsts like Bartoli on stage.
The most ridiculous argument ever. Following that logic, you are only allowed to complain about bad food in a restaurant, if you're a chef. it makes no sense.
I think a truer comparison would be if you complained in a restaurant when you don't know how to run a tap or boil water 😊 but I get your point. I do think the booing is a little tasteless though. No pun intended. Lol
Some of these booing fools have heard Freddie Mercury in Japan 82 And by the way, this is the only time I have heard Pavarotti have a crack that is not even serious
Obviamente nadie quiere que pase esto, pero puede pasar.... Ya había para esa época mucho desgaste en Pav, o aplicó mal la técnica o simplemente no estaba esa noche para cantar. Lo importante es que tuvo muchísimos años y miles de noches brillantes y lo recordaremos por esas y no por aquella. Comentario a parte; ¿fue en la Scala? Esa gente tan erudita nunca canto bien ni el "happy Brithday" y se ponen a juzgar a uno de los grandes tenores de la historia ¿por un crack? Uno dice Pavarotti y todos sabemos de qué hablamos....¿ustedes conocen a quienes abuchearon?
The most ridiculous argument ever. Following that logic, you are only allowed to complain about bad food in a restaurant, if you're a chef. it makes no sense.
No existe tenor alguno que no haya tenido un contratiempo así en alguna casa de ópera importante, por lo demás el público de la Scala históricamente siempre se ha comportado como asnos... Sin embargo, a plácido Domingo se le perdonaba todo, incluso no poseer el Do en su registro. En fin, la hipocresía y el poder en las sombras siempre han podido más en el Bel canto que el propio talento. Cómo olvidar a Alfredo Kraus y las canalladas de las que fue objeto durante su brillante carrera, por la intervención sistemática de los llamados poderes fácticos de la industria operística.
When he said they are right to react that way, I don't believe him, deep inside he really don't believe that. The truth is, it is a disgrace to boo anyone. Not all people, but a large percent, wait for a great artist to make a mistake so they can feel better about themselves !
@@liedersanger1 yes, I agree! His friend and director Magiera wrote his biography and he testified Pavarotti felt bad for his mistake, he didn't rehearse enough and forgot to take a breath in that moment. Of course it wasn't a big mistake (compared to nowadays singers it's nothing) but he was a perfectionist and in those times when a singer had even a tiny fault, the audience HAD to boo (same was for Freni in Traviata) so when Magiera was trying to minimise his error, Pavarotti said: "the audience is always right"
@@fulvioarborio9578 Maestro Magiera was not there that night, nor during rehearsals in Milan . Luciano felt bad during the intermission, but quickly overcame his initial reaction . He was a born fighter, always taking up a challenge and went on to sing the following performances without the slightest problem. This was in his nature. But he always respected his audiences, which is clearly what his last sentence here also shows. He felt sorry for a moment for not being up to expectations that night, but saw that in the right perspective. A mistake can happen, just learn from it ! As for the loggionisti they had booed Callas, Freni and Pav himself before. That, after all, is their only claim to fame ...
@@silvanogiusti813 a me pare un semplicissimo abbassamento del palato che in quell'acuto non è giustamente supportato dall'appoggio ....e questo avviene solo per solo un attimino....... vedo troppo chiasso per una cosa che può succedere a tutti i più bravi cantanti
When we think that the Scala public booed singers like Del Monaco and Bastianini.....I m not surprised that this happened also to Pavarotti. Frankly, he didn t deserved it for this little accident. La Scala......
About the crack : I don't understand why the people were so aggressive with Luciano. He was ill at only one of the Don Carlo's perfomances he gave, the three others were sung perfectly by him (he sang on December the 9th, the 11th, the 19th and the 22th) so those who want to hear a 'crack' on the DVD will be deceived !
Once the audience stops having a right to judge, then the art form dies. The loggionisti are the fans that will boo you when you're bad, but will cheer you when you strike gold.
+GERMANYFrankie Funny- you are here are posting and saying that folks should never dare boo that star of a performance. Pavarotti says you are wrong and that the true fans of the Opera can and should!!
@@peteradaniel True but seriously...one mistake, it’s a little much to boo. He did great job otherwise. Sensibility...it would have been kind of okay to boo if he sang badly in general. But he didn’t. One small crack and he even fixed the end well. Talking about the professionalism...
Don Carlo is a five-act grand opera. Although its performance at the Alla Scala was the traditional _"first act-less"_ and _"ballet-less"_ version, it is enough to kill the best performer, even in reduction.
The reason they made such a big deal of it was it was the opening night of the La Scala season. Always a very special event in Italy. So a “ scandal “ of sorts is what allows for the most interesting headlines the next day.
That last statement can only come from a true professional.
I quite agree!
That was the most gorgeous voice crack of all time.

It’s really not. That phrase is really difficult and, combined with his age, it’s forgivable

I barely heard it but I'm not an a officiant of opera ,however he is humble and professional in what he said at the end. RIP Luciano.
The loggionisti are savage. They let you know when you mess up & don't make you forget it.
They know music, singing, tehcnique very thoroughly. For instance they know that a lyric tenor like Pav shouldn't sing a heavy role like Carlo.

Anche Tebaldi, Callas ecc. erano fiaschiati. La Callas in "Andrea Chenier" ed "Il barbiere di Siviglia" alla Scala per esempio.
@@kbhprinsesse ma certo! alla scala sono stati fischiati tutti, senza che se ne facesse un dramma ....., l' artista in primis ,che difatti successivamente tornava ad essere applaudito.... L" atteggiamento di fischiare a me non piace , a meno che non sia proprio una scarpa e si abbia la sensazione di poca preparazione, piccoli incidenti fanno parte della vita di ogni cantante che in genere cerca di dare il meglio di se stesso ,e se ben ricordo ad aver accettato con più filosofia in quel don Carlo i fischi ( rivolto al' intero cast ) fu proprio Pavarotti .... Molto spesso alla scala ( come in qualsiasi teatrato ) poi hanno accettato di dare dei trionfi a delle edizioni opinabili come al Falstaff scaligero proprio della stessa edizione del don Carlo, credo che Pavarotti si sia attirato in quegli anni molta antipatia su di se per delle cose che con l' opera scritta in musica hanno poco da spartire quindi hanno aspettato una piccola incrinatura che dal vivo e in quel punto dello spartito capita al 99 per cento dei tenori per poterlo fischiare .
With every video I'm watching more of LP he get's more and more sympathic....!!
wew WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU R.I.P.
Geez, those fans need to chill. The voice crack was so minor that I had to listen to it a second time to find it.
If they booed Pavarotti for that slight voice crack, imagine their reaction had they been in the audience during Duran Duran's Live Aid performance...
I saw Pavarotti three times in concert and he was amazing. RIP
The modern day's oversensitive and egocentric "singers" and "musicians" (myself included) is something they all need to hear and remember once and forever.
Maestro shows his professionalism here when he defends in his last statement the people who booed him for one single mistake (voice crack). That maybe a harsh, but it's a test every musical performer/composer has to went through, because if the audience is booing, it's not their problems, but the performer's. If something went wrong, you have to work and improve to never let that happen again. Push your ego aside, analyze your performance to figure out what exactly went wrong and just evolve and improve your skills to never let that happen again.
I ironically like how the pop stars and the hucksters (if that makes sense) love showing off how much money they earned on selling their albums to shut up the audience who are booing them. The money is not a judge, it's the audience. The money doesn't go there to listen to your songs and your music, it's the Audience who brings them money, and the Audience has a right to judge. If the performer win they applaud, if the performer fails they boo. And if you try to shut them up and say that they know nothin they hate.
"Oh, I have 200 million dollars on my bank account!"
And you failed to find a vocal coach who can teach you how to sing live without autotune?
Voice may crack due to many physical and mental factors....he is a human being not robot
Crowd could be cruel. On the other hand, strict and musicaly educated public is the only way to mantain high artistic quality.
Maestro's goixe mightve cracked but it proves the man is human, it doesnt beat the fact that he has accomplished amazing things already and people forget that he was not in his prime.
I didnt even noticed his voice cracked...
"appen", I love Italian accent
Fucking brilliant!! I mean come on now!!
After watching twosetviolin, i can sort of understand the stress of this classical musician/singer. The audience is perfectionist and the critics are crazy
Comforting that even the greatest of the greats sometimes fail. Although, if I had not been told beforehand, it might have gone unnoticed
it's hardly a bad crack! goodness me - Don Carlo has so many more high notes than this one, which I'm sure he nailed
That's what made the man great.
Oh my God. Not a single booer could do what he did. Gimme a break it was lovely.
I love Pavarotti. I felt sorry for his tenor fail on Don Carlo. :(
VEry brave artist.
They are right! They have every right not to be satisfied. Also not to be Pavarotti. Or Sutherland. Or a great singer. Or a singer. Or an artist. Or someone who enjoys its own purpose in life.
We all do have those rights
Un uomo intelligente .
The people that feel they have the right to boo, are suffering from deep envy, so booing a great artist makes them feel better about themselves They are miserable people with many flaws. To avoid dealing with these flaws, they project their flaws onto someone else and then criticize that person. Better to criticize someone else than yourself. The great violinist Heifetz once said 99 percent of the people who go see him perform, go to see him make a mistake. Trust me, Pavarotti don't really mean when he says that these critics have the right to boo, he is being generous.
No he does mean that, he is Italian born in 1935 in an era where booing and cheering and being ALIVE and not passively applauding every shit you see on stage like they do at the Met was the norm.
He is right.
Educate yourself better about history Italian opera, which never was only about "listening to music". If people booed more often today, especially burger Americans, who have affected Europe with their horrible taste, we wouldn't have pseudo aritsts like Bartoli on stage.
This man is great, when i crack its like a chain reaction.
But he lost the balance and recovered it instantly
if the opera god can have a slip then I'm allowed a mulligan. thank you Pavarotti. there is hope yet
The nerve to “Boo” and opera singer.
These people can’t even sing a good tune in the shower let alone sing what this man can produce
The most ridiculous argument ever. Following that logic, you are only allowed to complain about bad food in a restaurant, if you're a chef. it makes no sense.
I think a truer comparison would be if you complained in a restaurant when you don't know how to run a tap or boil water 😊 but I get your point. I do think the booing is a little tasteless though. No pun intended. Lol
Soccer and opera are a religion in Italy. You would have to live there to understand.
Some of these booing fools have heard Freddie Mercury in Japan 82
And by the way, this is the only time I have heard Pavarotti have a crack that is not even serious
He couldn't even tell his voice cracked the first time around.
The reason, the mindset of Pavarotti is "If you boo me and think you can give better advice, can you do what ive done better?"
We are only as good as our last performance.
Obviamente nadie quiere que pase esto, pero puede pasar.... Ya había para esa época mucho desgaste en Pav, o aplicó mal la técnica o simplemente no estaba esa noche para cantar. Lo importante es que tuvo muchísimos años y miles de noches brillantes y lo recordaremos por esas y no por aquella. Comentario a parte; ¿fue en la Scala? Esa gente tan erudita nunca canto bien ni el "happy Brithday" y se ponen a juzgar a uno de los grandes tenores de la historia ¿por un crack?
Uno dice Pavarotti y todos sabemos de qué hablamos....¿ustedes conocen a quienes abuchearon?
a little crack....but that night he had other problems of intonation
What a cool guy. Anyone can crack one day.
Un día malo lo tiene cualquiera, por la glooria de mi madre.
I respect Pavarotti’s opinion, but I challenge those fans to sound as good as him let alone that extremely brief crack.
The most ridiculous argument ever. Following that logic, you are only allowed to complain about bad food in a restaurant, if you're a chef. it makes no sense.
I thought he sounded fine. It was a little wiggle that can happen to anyone with the best of techniques. He could have been a little tired.
Ridiculous. An absolutely golden voice. And they say Americans are high and mighty.
No existe tenor alguno que no haya tenido un contratiempo así en alguna casa de ópera importante, por lo demás el público de la Scala históricamente siempre se ha comportado como asnos... Sin embargo, a plácido Domingo se le perdonaba todo, incluso no poseer el Do en su registro. En fin, la hipocresía y el poder en las sombras siempre han podido más en el Bel canto que el propio talento.
Cómo olvidar a Alfredo Kraus y las canalladas de las que fue objeto durante su brillante carrera, por la intervención sistemática de los llamados poderes fácticos de la industria operística.
Bro that crack wasn't even that bad I could barely tell.
😢
Wait for the end
When he said they are right to react that way, I don't believe him, deep inside he really don't believe that. The truth is, it is a disgrace to boo anyone. Not all people, but a large percent, wait for a great artist to make a mistake so they can feel better about themselves !
sherom You missed his point.
@@liedersanger1 yes, I agree! His friend and director Magiera wrote his biography and he testified Pavarotti felt bad for his mistake, he didn't rehearse enough and forgot to take a breath in that moment. Of course it wasn't a big mistake (compared to nowadays singers it's nothing) but he was a perfectionist and in those times when a singer had even a tiny fault, the audience HAD to boo (same was for Freni in Traviata) so when Magiera was trying to minimise his error, Pavarotti said: "the audience is always right"
@@fulvioarborio9578 Maestro Magiera was not there that night, nor during rehearsals in Milan .
Luciano felt bad during the intermission, but quickly overcame his initial reaction . He was a born fighter, always taking up a challenge and went on to sing the following performances without the slightest problem. This was in his nature.
But he always respected his audiences, which is clearly what his last sentence here also shows. He felt sorry for a moment for not being up to expectations that night, but saw that in the right perspective. A mistake can happen, just learn from it !
As for the loggionisti they had booed Callas, Freni and Pav himself before. That, after all, is their only claim to fame ...
Mah...francamente non la vedo come una "stecca",è solo un'apertura tardiva della gola...grazie
+giampierone010 aveva appoggiato male ed è salita la laringe...succede! quante cazzate per un errorino normalissimo!
Fabio84 Si,ma molti si intendono di criticare senza averne la capacità!!!
giampierone010 esatto

@@silvanogiusti813 a me pare un semplicissimo abbassamento del palato che in quell'acuto non è giustamente supportato dall'appoggio ....e questo avviene solo per solo un attimino....... vedo troppo chiasso per una cosa che può succedere a tutti i più bravi cantanti
Nobody is perfect
When we think that the Scala public booed singers like Del Monaco and Bastianini.....I m not surprised that this happened also to Pavarotti.
Frankly, he didn t deserved it for this little accident.
La Scala......
About the crack : I don't understand why the people were so aggressive with Luciano. He was ill at only one of the Don Carlo's perfomances he gave, the three others were sung perfectly by him (he sang on December the 9th, the 11th, the 19th and the 22th) so those who want to hear a 'crack' on the DVD will be deceived !
Not right, because the audience have no idea, how much hard work is behind, to be a good Tenor!
Once the audience stops having a right to judge, then the art form dies. The loggionisti are the fans that will boo you when you're bad, but will cheer you when you strike gold.
+GERMANYFrankie Funny- you are here are posting and saying that folks should never dare boo that star of a performance.
Pavarotti says you are wrong and that the true fans of the Opera can and should!!
+jason mcmillan dude stop
Most opera lovers are well aware of the work required. Booing keeps standards high
@@peteradaniel True but seriously...one mistake, it’s a little much to boo. He did great job otherwise. Sensibility...it would have been kind of okay to boo if he sang badly in general. But he didn’t. One small crack and he even fixed the end well. Talking about the professionalism...
Tough crowd!
Don Carlo is a five-act grand opera. Although its performance at the Alla Scala was the traditional _"first act-less"_ and _"ballet-less"_ version, it is enough to kill the best performer, even in reduction.
The reason they made such a big deal of it was it was the opening night of the La Scala season. Always a very special event in Italy.
So a “ scandal “ of sorts is what allows for the most interesting headlines the next day.
