One day Pavoratti was ill and he called his friend Aretha Franklin to fill in for him. Needless to say she did a fantastic job and you should react to it. This is a test for any singer❤
You're slaying me with your honest reactions! When a performance is so heartfelt and emotional, it doesn't matter the genre. You feel it, deep! The maestro (conductor) directs the orchestra to respond spontaneously to Pavarotti's performance. Even though the conductor conducts, the divo or diva dictates the pacing from one moment to another. In rehearsal, they might hold out a word a certain length of time, but in the performance, the time might be longer or shorter. Everyone responds in the moment, but a conductor is necessary with this number of musicians. A band of 4-5 people make these adjustments any given night in a concert. Larger groups require someone (a conductor/maestro) to keep them on the same page and beat.
I grew up with classical music, and trust me, this piece sung by this man NEVER gets old. Never. And I'm damn near 50 years old! I've watched so many people react to Pavarotti sing "Nessun Dorma", and you are hands down my favorite person EVER. I'm so glad someone recommended this to you... and I was **living** for your reaction all the way through. Thanks for being open to listening to a style of music you've never listened to before. Love that. You're amazing.
He is singing in Italian. Most opera was written in Italian, until Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart came along and wrote some in German. It was SCANDALOUS! Today, operas are still performed in the language in which they were written (Italian or German). Gilbert and Sullivan came along and wrote some operas in English (such as "The Pirates of Penzance, H. M. S. Pinafore, The Mikado, among others). We lost Luciano a number of years ago to cancer.
The way your mouth opens as he sings... The most natural thing in the world! Thank you for letting us into your world. To know Pavarotti better, type "Pavarotti funny", you'll adore him even more.b😊❤
As a 62 year-old man from Scotland, I say what a lovely reaction. So many of us pick a genre of music and think all others suck. All it takes is an open mind to allow a feast of sound into our souls. You should check out the original "Three tenors" concert at the Italia 90 World Cup. The three best male opera singers in the World just having fun. You won't regret it, you lovely person, you.
I got to see Pavarotti in concert once. I was fairly young 18-20. The music goes through you, I remember sobbing uncontrollably, with awe and joy. Amazing. ☮️💜🎵
@@kshavon3098 This clip of Pav is from The Three Tenors Concert live in concert just before the 1994 World Cup in Los Angeles. You can see the three of them. and how they enjoy each others company, in this clip 'The Three Tenors in Concert 1994: Brindisi'. The conductor for this concert was Zubin Mehta. and the orchestra was the L.A. Philharmonic, with the L.A. Music Center Opera Chorus at Dodger Stadium, A little bit about Pavorotti: In addition to music, as a child, Pavarotti enjoyed playing football. When he graduated from the Scuola Magistrale he was interested in pursuing a career as a professional football goalkeeper, but his mother convinced him to train as a teacher. He subsequently taught in an elementary school for two years but finally decided to pursue a music career. His father, recognizing the risk involved, only reluctantly gave his consent. Pavarotti began the serious study of music in 1954 at the age of 19 with Arrigo Pola, a respected teacher and professional tenor in Modena who offered to teach him without remuneration. According to conductor Richard Bonynge, Pavarotti never learned to read music.
Hi hon, yes, it is in Italian, and Pavarotti made it sound soooo easy...IT IS NOT. I studied voice for twelve years and did sing operatic pieces. It pushes you to places you didn't think you could go. I experienced my first "singers high" while in a lesson in college with my operatic coach, after having sung my whole life. It's when all of the bones in your face start to resonate, it's crazy. You will find this in the movies "The Witches of Eastwick" (one of my faves) as well as "The Sum of All Fears", which is quite relevant right now, so some say. The end of the piece he claims, "I will win, I will win, I will win". So powerful, truly amazing. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
35 years ago, I was staying at a hotel in London at the corner of Hyde Park. Pavarotti was singing there that night. From our balcony we had the best seats in town!
@@kshavon3098Too darn busy lately, that’s where 😂. I’ve been trying to find where to join your channel to become a member and can’t seem to see where; becoming dumb in addition to busy! 😂😂😂
As I grew older I began to appreciate opera music and classical as well. Nothing like being there in the audience with all of that beautiful soul soothing music surrounding you 🔥❤️
I think we are all hungry for beauty, be it in music, etc. beauty feeds our souls. I’m so glad you were blown away by his voice. Don’t be afraid to go to an opera. They have the translations of the singing to read above the stage.
Opera is passion. You don't need to understand whatever language it's being sung in, you know how it feels. Don't let this be the last opera you listen to, you're born to it. Loved sharing this with you! ♥(oh, suggestion - "Queen of the Night" from the opera "The Magic Flute" - love the version sung by the amazing Diana Damrau. it'll knock you out)
@@remyhocage9854 One and the same aria. Great choice - I haven't heard Christina Duedekom's performance, looking forward to that! Thanks for the suggestion.
You are so hilarious girlfriend!!! Loving your reactions 😊I never grew up with Opera, but over the years, I learned to really appreciate the dynamics in their voices, and Pavarotti was one of the best!
This aria was in sung in Italian, as are many operatic arias. It comes from the opera Turandot, by Puccini. Although Nessun Dorma was written for a tenor it can also be sung very affectively by a woman (see Amira Willighagen, CIG 2017). At the same concert in South Africa Amira sang a duet with Corlea Botha, The Flower Duet, this time in French. Amira also sang a hymn at this concert, Amazing Grace.
What language is not important. What's important is the tone. What I hear is a soul, crying out "I AM HERE! DO NOT IGNORE ME! HEAR ME! I AM HERE!!! Little babies hearing this on TH-cam videos break out into tears, hearing this song.
Babe, you nailed this one, right up front, what anticipation! You have a new subscriber. Angelic, heavenly performance, out of this world, a new dimension of sight, sound, soul, transcending both space and time!
That little bridge in the middle, where you just matter-of-factly said, "Beautiful," is indeed one of the most enchanting interludes I've ever heard. We appreciate your appreciation. ;-)
You are adorable! If you like this piece, you should hear his arias in the opera La Boheme - they give me chills and make me cry every time. "Che gelida manina" in the piece. It's incredible.
The man with the stick in his hand is the conductor. It is his job to ensure the orchestra plays ‘together’ as if with a single mind and purpose, and feeling. In this case the orchestra is accompanying the soloist (Pavarotti). So he is taking Pavarotti’s lead, and leading the orchestra accordingly.
One of my fave reactions of yours 😂 I thoroughly enjoyed watching you experience this opera legend for the first time. Love that you loved it and I couldn't wait to see your reaction to the end. I knew you were gonna love it. 😊 Your face at the beginning was everything.
:) THAT is dozens of years of trainning to sing over orchestras. Opera is a tradition left over from singers who had to sing over orchestras in days before microphones. Absolutely beautiful.
What a lovely heartfelt, genuine reaction! I know you'd like a man called Mario Lanza singing in an opera where he plays a clown who has to pretend to laugh and be jolly for his audience, but he's dying inside because his girl doesn't love him anymore. The song is 'Vesti la giubba'. It's on TH-cam.
Try listening to Jonathan Antoine! Pavaratti was one of the greatest tenors ever! Yes it is Italian. My father was from Italy...my mother was from England.
This was part of The Three Tenors concert in Rome, Italy at which Pavarotti was joined by the other great tenor singers of the generation, Placido Domingo and José Carreras, to launch the 1990 soccer World Cup which Italy was hosting. The BBC in the United Kingdom used a recording of Pavarotti performing Nessun Dorma as its theme for the tournament, and such was its impact that it was released as a single and became the so far only piece of opera to reach Number One on the UK singles chart. You may want to search TH-cam for the lyrics upload which has the English language translation of the Italian so you can understand the love song he’s singing. As something similar may I recommend Freddie Mercury (of Queen) and Spanish opera singer Montserrat Caballé duet “Barcelona” which Freddie wrote for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
i grew up on opera as my mum was a trained opera singer so i have loved it all my life this is one of my favourite pieces and i loved pavarotti this piece is called in english none shall sleep
You chose the best for your first exposure to opera! Pavarotti was the top tenor voice in opera for the 20th century. He is the gold standard for male opera voices. For some other great opera voices, try Marian Anderson, Diana Damrau,, Jonas Kaufmann, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, and for an up-and-coming singer Innocent Masuku.
"I know my mouth was hangin' wide open." Everyone here starts chuckling. Then I hope someone warned you to put a pillow on the floor. Because by the end your jaw isn't hanging wide open. It has hit the floor Hard! The Great Luciano is (not was as Legends never die) one of the greatest Ever. But unfortunately he isn't allowed to rest in Heaven. God has him on a 2 century contract to teach the Angelic choir to sing more powerfully. A bit of geek knowledge about this performance. This part is a little over 3 minutes long. That standing ovation you see starting at the end. That lasted for over 20 minutes!
This Aria sung by Pavarotti is about a young Man's pursuit of the Girl he loves. He wins her heart and sings, VICTORY, Sweet Victory, VICTORY at the end. ❤
I loved your stank face at 3:12 - LOL. THAT'S when you know it's good! 🤩 As for the lyrics, here's the deets... It is sung by the character Calef who fell in love with the princess. She required him (and anyone else) to solve three riddles to marry her, which he did, but still she rebuffed him. (Those who don't figure out the three riddles are beheaded. Cold, right?!) Since she didn't honor the terms SHE set,, he then challenged the princess to figure out his name by the next morning - and if she doesn't she must marry him. But if she does, she can execute him. ALSO, she commanded her subjects to stay up and help figure out his name, too, and if they don't succeed, they'll die. (Again, cold blooded!). The princess's subjects is in parentheses below. This background will help make sense of the translated lyrics. Here they are... None shall sleep, None shall sleep! Even you, oh Princess, In your cold room, Watch the stars, That tremble with love And with hope. But my secret is hidden within me, My name no one shall know, No... no... On your mouth, I will tell it, When the light shines. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine! (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!
Nessun dorma” is an Italian phrase that translates to “Let no one sleep” or “None shall sleep”. It is the first line of a famous aria from the opera “Turandot” by Giacomo Puccini, which was first performed in 1926. In the opera, the beautiful but cold-hearted Princess Turandot says this to her subjects, threatening to kill them all if they can't discover the name of an unknown prince who has fallen in love with her. The tenor (Prince Calif) sings this aria in the third act, expressing his confidence that he will win the princess's hand in the morning. Operas began to be performed in Italy over 400 years ago. They were sung for crowds and required singers with strong voices so those who were far from the stage coukd hear. Operas had colorful sets and costumes, again for a spectacular visual effect, and orchestras, as well as often choruses behind the scenes to increase the depth of a musical scene. The stories of opera, sometimes newly written, sometimes based on old legends or old plays - with almost all singing and very little talking, were frequently tragic, or romantic with very emotional love scenes between characters, and often had intense death scenes. There were often comedic scenes included, and sometimes dancing and early types of “special effects”. For people who wanted entertainment in those days, opera had it all on a massive scale. But mainly they are known for the incredibly beautiful music written, and the special arias (songs) which were written for various voices, such as high sopranos, low bass, and everything in between. Today opera singers will perform a few of the more famous arias from a selection of operas, and the audience applauds when they hear the first note, because they know what is to come. Opera singers train for years to develop breath control and physical stamina to project their voices over huge spaces.
Hes amazing, bet u thought this rocker chick wouldnt meltm but ud be wrong. Grlllllll, gives me chills and makes me emotional even tho I don't know a word hes saying. Best-known tenor🥹Beautiful and so powerful. "none shall sleep" and scene. Thanx so much sis, many Blessings✌✌
You have to listen to Dimash Kudaibergen "SOS". He is currently considered one of the best voices in the world. He was trained from the age of 5 in classical music and beyond. I would be here forever to be able to describe it, just like millions of fans around the world. Luciano Pavarotti is one of his favorite masters and, strange as it may seem, Michael Jackson is also one. Please react and listen to one of the most beautiful voices in the world. Thank you very much, a hug from Portugal. I subscribed.
The conductor of the orchestra uses a “baton” to help the many musicians to keep together in rhythm or tell musicians to increase or decrease tempo or volume, to give directions to different parts of the orchestra, to give reminders to soloists in the orchestra, to encourage everyone if they need to give more or less emotion, or take pauses and is a link between the musicians and singers. The different hand and arm movements, as well as where the baton is pointed, indicate different instructions, and sometimes conductors use their own bodies to help emphasize rhythm or emotional output. A conductor is similar to a director of a play or film in helping everyone stay together and focused on the overall look and sound of whatever is being performed.
This is a song from an opera by Puccini about a Chinese princess named Turandot. In this song , he ( a foreign prince) is singing of his love for her . In Italian!
Love your first reaction to Opera ❤ Please react to Kazakhstan born, Dimash Kudaibergen sing a duet with Placido Domingo less than a year ago singing Pearl Fishers Duet. Maestro Domingo requested Dimash to sing with him and the result? Pure heaven Placido performed with Jose Carras, Luciano Pavarotti and the 3 were known as the 3 Tenors, the BEST in the world. Placido turned 80 years old, thi a was performed for his birthday. Powerful, soul catching duet, beautiful. [Please, please react to it ❣️❣️
Girl find ***AVE MARIA*** pronounced "ahh vey Maria"....you might have heard this at Christmas but it's a tear jerker even if you don't understand a word, it touches your heart. Mom's favorite song. :)
In my parents and grandparents time, having this skill was not aberrant. It's part and parcel of the European classical tradition and - long ago - was the pop music of its age. Pavarotti was one of the great modern masters. A big man, a big performer and one of the big artists of the 20th century.
If you're lucky enough to live in a city that has its own symphony orchestra or opera company, do yourself a favor and treat yourself some evening. Get yourself a ticket and get all dressed up and make an occasion out of it. Hearing this music performed live, in a concert hall, is a life-changing experience. You won't regret it.
Incredible the communication power of music. She doesn't know anything about classical music, opera, the plot Turandot, not even italian, she has literally no idea what he's singing about nor how he dies, but she's still so touched by the music and brillant delivery of the mythical Pavarotti!
It's Italian. Many of the great opera singers, the majority Italians, specialised in Italian opera. They sang the entire repertoire but focused on the great operas of Verdi and Puccini.
I grew up in Brazil, I’d listen every night to the public radio classical hour… they also had full operas on weekends, and jazz hour during… while my friends were listening to Madonna and Spice Girls, I was listening to Aida, Othelo or Norma… Aida is my favorite opera… My 5yo likes the Barber of Seville and Carmen… But I haven’t explained him what Carmen is about yet… Not very kid friendly… Hehehe…
I loved his Ave Maria. He and Andrea Bucchelli. Not sure I spelled that right but check him out as well. The guy with the stick is a conductor!😂😂 PS. Need to see the version with lyrics in English at the bottom. Gives so much more when you know what he is saying…❤
If you want to listen to another famous Opera tenor, give one or more of the recordings by Enrico Caruso a try. He was one of the very first Opera singers to sing on record. Caruso recorded from 1902 to 1920, prior to the invention of electric recording and the use of microphones in 1925. Sadly, Enrico Caruso died relatively young, as he passed away in 1921 from illnesses related to a kidney injury he sustained when some stage rigging fell on top of him.
Opera originally was only Italian. Then other Europeans wanted operas in their languages. Italian is mandatory language to study at for the opera singers in training that I know. This takes incredible talent for breath control, vowel shape (since we sing vowels really). I go to church with opera singer students. When we have a congregation hymn, the rest of us shut up and let the opera singers sing for us. Just a couple of them sing over all the other people. At the end. He sings I will win! I will win! (Vencero). He will win his girl. If you like strong singers try The Oktavist channel that feature the deep basses of Russian choirs. "We praise thee' (better audio).
Italian's great singers, dirty sods when playing football...lol I'm english .. this song has a place in every englishmans heart over a certain age...Italia 90.

Don't forget his duet with James Brown
And Aretha only had 20 mins to prepare. Sheer class❤
I remember that! She was amazing. I think it was for the Grammys or a similar award show.
Those microphones are for recording only. Opera singers don't use amplifiers or loud speakers. They fill the opers house unaided.

The Great Luciano is (not was as Legends never die) one of the greatest Ever. But unfortunately he isn't allowed to rest in Heaven. God has him on a 2 century contract to teach the Angelic choir to sing more powerfully.
A bit of geek knowledge about this performance. This part is a little over 3 minutes long. That standing ovation you see starting at the end. That lasted for over 20 minutes!
It seems to me as though you would enjoy going to see this opera, take a friend and enjoy the live experience .
This Aria sung by Pavarotti is about a young Man's pursuit of the Girl he loves.
He wins her heart and sings, VICTORY, Sweet Victory, VICTORY at the end. ❤
I loved your stank face at 3:12 - LOL. THAT'S when you know it's good! 🤩
As for the lyrics, here's the deets... It is sung by the character Calef who fell in love with the princess. She required him (and anyone else) to solve three riddles to marry her, which he did, but still she rebuffed him. (Those who don't figure out the three riddles are beheaded. Cold, right?!) Since she didn't honor the terms SHE set,, he then challenged the princess to figure out his name by the next morning - and if she doesn't she must marry him. But if she does, she can execute him. ALSO, she commanded her subjects to stay up and help figure out his name, too, and if they don't succeed, they'll die. (Again, cold blooded!). The princess's subjects is in parentheses below. This background will help make sense of the translated lyrics. Here they are...
None shall sleep,
None shall sleep!
Even you, oh Princess,
In your cold room,
Watch the stars,
That tremble with love
And with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
My name no one shall know,
No... no...
On your mouth, I will tell it,
When the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve
the silence that makes you mine!
(No one will know his name
and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!
THANK U SO MUCH
He was known as "King of the High C's" for his power and range.
Bravo! Pavarotti is one of best! 👏👏👏👏👏
Your knee pad singing. 😂😂😂😂😭 You crack me up. My family is Italian, so I grew up listening to him. ❤
🤣🤣
I'm crying now. Opera done well always makes me cry
Nessun dorma” is an Italian phrase that translates to “Let no one sleep” or “None shall sleep”. It is the first line of a famous aria from the opera “Turandot” by Giacomo Puccini, which was first performed in 1926. In the opera, the beautiful but cold-hearted Princess Turandot says this to her subjects, threatening to kill them all if they can't discover the name of an unknown prince who has fallen in love with her. The tenor (Prince Calif) sings this aria in the third act, expressing his confidence that he will win the princess's hand in the morning. Operas began to be performed in Italy over 400 years ago. They were sung for crowds and required singers with strong voices so those who were far from the stage coukd hear. Operas had colorful sets and costumes, again for a spectacular visual effect, and orchestras, as well as often choruses behind the scenes to increase the depth of a musical scene. The stories of opera, sometimes newly written, sometimes based on old legends or old plays - with almost all singing and very little talking, were frequently tragic, or romantic with very emotional love scenes between characters, and often had intense death scenes. There were often comedic scenes included, and sometimes dancing and early types of “special effects”. For people who wanted entertainment in those days, opera had it all on a massive scale. But mainly they are known for the incredibly beautiful music written, and the special arias (songs) which were written for various voices, such as high sopranos, low bass, and everything in between. Today opera singers will perform a few of the more famous arias from a selection of operas, and the audience applauds when they hear the first note, because they know what is to come. Opera singers train for years to develop breath control and physical stamina to project their voices over huge spaces.
very few men can sing with that much power without wearing out their voice.
Great reaction! He's singing in Italian about love at first sight.
OH OK THANK U
Hes amazing, bet u thought this rocker chick wouldnt meltm but ud be wrong. Grlllllll, gives me chills and makes me emotional even tho I don't know a word hes saying. Best-known tenor🥹Beautiful and so powerful. "none shall sleep" and scene. Thanx so much sis, many Blessings✌✌
YES TAM💯🙏🏾
Yes! Italian!
You have to listen to Dimash Kudaibergen "SOS".
He is currently considered one of the best voices in the world. He was trained from the age of 5 in classical music and beyond. I would be here forever to be able to describe it, just like millions of fans around the world.
Luciano Pavarotti is one of his favorite masters and, strange as it may seem, Michael Jackson is also one.
Please react and listen to one of the most beautiful voices in the world.
Thank you very much, a hug from Portugal. I subscribed.
I DID BUT THEY REMOVED MY VID
The conductor of the orchestra uses a “baton” to help the many musicians to keep together in rhythm or tell musicians to increase or decrease tempo or volume, to give directions to different parts of the orchestra, to give reminders to soloists in the orchestra, to encourage everyone if they need to give more or less emotion, or take pauses and is a link between the musicians and singers. The different hand and arm movements, as well as where the baton is pointed, indicate different instructions, and sometimes conductors use their own bodies to help emphasize rhythm or emotional output. A conductor is similar to a director of a play or film in helping everyone stay together and focused on the overall look and sound of whatever is being performed.
get the english translation .... it's beautiful....his vocal control is impeccable
She has never realized she has always been an opera lover!
thank you for your acknowledgment!!!!
UR SO WELCOME
THIS WAS PAVAROTTIs FINEST PERFORMANCE…He received 20 minutes of applause…
This is a song from an opera by Puccini about a Chinese princess named Turandot. In this song , he ( a foreign prince) is singing of his love for her . In Italian!
Your fantastic! I enjoyed your reaction .
THANK U
I had the chance to go and see him in concert in Montréal, Canada. I had goosebumps the all concert.
Love your first reaction to Opera ❤
Please react to Kazakhstan born, Dimash Kudaibergen sing a duet with Placido Domingo less than a year ago singing Pearl Fishers Duet.
Maestro Domingo requested Dimash to sing with him and the result? Pure heaven
Placido performed with Jose Carras, Luciano Pavarotti and the 3 were known as the 3 Tenors, the BEST in the world.
Placido turned 80 years old, thi a was performed for his birthday.
Powerful, soul catching duet, beautiful.
[Please, please react to it ❣️❣️
Girl find ***AVE MARIA*** pronounced "ahh vey Maria"....you might have heard this at Christmas but it's a tear jerker even if you don't understand a word, it touches your heart. Mom's favorite song. :)
Unfortunately Luciano is no longer with us. but I am sure that this great Master appreciates your reaction and glowing words.
😘🙏🏾
Love you.... 😂
ILY2
The greatest italian opera Singer in the UNIVERSE.
Look at miserere sing by zucchero and pavarotti
I NEVER HEARD OPERA!.... oh my god, the involution has come
In my parents and grandparents time, having this skill was not aberrant. It's part and parcel of the European classical tradition and - long ago - was the pop music of its age. Pavarotti was one of the great modern masters. A big man, a big performer and one of the big artists of the 20th century.
If you're lucky enough to live in a city that has its own symphony orchestra or opera company, do yourself a favor and treat yourself some evening. Get yourself a ticket and get all dressed up and make an occasion out of it. Hearing this music performed live, in a concert hall, is a life-changing experience. You won't regret it.
The language he speaks... Is love ❤
As soon as you said he can get it I had to immediately message you and then subscribe the fact you recognise real n words
😂THX NEW BEST FRIEND!
@@kshavon3098 have you reacted to chris isaak wicked game yet
I'm a Pavarotti fan. You however are hilarious. I'm subscribing and I'm professional at the end! 😂
😂HEY NEW BESTIE 😘
Incredible the communication power of music. She doesn't know anything about classical music, opera, the plot Turandot, not even italian, she has literally no idea what he's singing about nor how he dies, but she's still so touched by the music and brillant delivery of the mythical Pavarotti!
It's Italian. Many of the great opera singers, the majority Italians, specialised in Italian opera. They sang the entire repertoire but focused on the great operas of Verdi and Puccini.
I grew up in Brazil, I’d listen every night to the public radio classical hour… they also had full operas on weekends, and jazz hour during… while my friends were listening to Madonna and Spice Girls, I was listening to Aida, Othelo or Norma… Aida is my favorite opera… My 5yo likes the Barber of Seville and Carmen… But I haven’t explained him what Carmen is about yet… Not very kid friendly… Hehehe…
I loved his Ave Maria. He and Andrea Bucchelli. Not sure I spelled that right but check him out as well.
The guy with the stick is a conductor!😂😂
PS. Need to see the version with lyrics in English at the bottom. Gives so much more when you know what he is saying…❤
He makes it look so easy
He is singing in Italian, a Neapolitan. Try his O Sole Mio and Torna a Surriento
If you want to listen to another famous Opera tenor, give one or more of the recordings by Enrico Caruso a try.
He was one of the very first Opera singers to sing on record. Caruso recorded from 1902 to 1920, prior to the invention of electric recording and the use of microphones in 1925.
Sadly, Enrico Caruso died relatively young, as he passed away in 1921 from illnesses related to a kidney injury he sustained when some stage rigging fell on top of him.
Enrico Caruso was 48 years old at the time of his death.
Opera originally was only Italian. Then other Europeans wanted operas in their languages. Italian is mandatory language to study at for the opera singers in training that I know. This takes incredible talent for breath control, vowel shape (since we sing vowels really). I go to church with opera singer students. When we have a congregation hymn, the rest of us shut up and let the opera singers sing for us. Just a couple of them sing over all the other people. At the end. He sings I will win! I will win! (Vencero). He will win his girl. If you like strong singers try The Oktavist channel that feature the deep basses of Russian choirs. "We praise thee' (better audio).
Italian's great singers, dirty sods when playing football...lol I'm english .. this song has a place in every englishmans heart over a certain age...Italia 90.
I highly recommend you watch Aretha Franklin do it! Grammys
when he sings that final note he has used all the air in his lungs and you see him breathing deeply to fill his lungs
😯🤣
I’ve never watched a person react to Pavarotti like that.
😂😂
I loved his voice from the 1st time I heard him.
Pavarotti did a duet with James Brown! Something incredible!!! Would love to see your reaction!
I love that black lip-outliner, too.
😘
