Pavarotti was a great gift for the world. There are so many masterpieces. From the same concert for example Ave Maria: th-cam.com/video/XpYGgtrMTYs/w-d-xo.html Or listen to E lucevan le stelle from the concert in Central Park: th-cam.com/video/VBsLBU9wbMM/w-d-xo.html Or enjoy the Pavarotti snd friends duets. For example with Celine Dion th-cam.com/video/otAu5twqDpkt/w-d-xo.html or Stevie Wonder: th-cam.com/video/xoClSToRAxM/w-d-xo.html
The sad thing about that video is Pavarotti is not in his best voice and looks extremely distressed. His father died the day before, but because the event was for charity, he still did the show which shows what a professional he was and what a kind soul he had.
Nessun Dorma ( "no one sleeps") is an aria sung by all the great opera stars (male and female)........this is probably the most moving rendition of all....R.I.P., Maestro Pavarotti
The variety of music to which you listen is absolutely fantastic. Nessum Dorma is one of the worlds great pieces of music sung but the greatest tenor of all times. Believe it or not Luciano did a duet with Meatloaf a few years back of Oh Solo Mio. Astounding. What a wonderful reaction from the two of you. Please do more opera. Thanks!
The best definition of opera I have ever heard is this: "Opera is the ultimate expression of human emotions." Now, type into youtube Nessun Dorma and you will see a list of other great tenors through history sing this aria. This is a type of an opers lesson from which you will learn a lot about opera voices. Do not forget the female arias, they are stunning also. At this point type in the artist name plus "singing operatic arias" for different artists. Enjoy!!! Sincerely, Moise Greavu
Great reaction guys your silence spoke volumes….this man is an absolute legend and I remember hearing this for the first time way back in 1990 when it was used as the anthem for the World Cup in Italia 1990..much love from the U.K 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nessun dorma, I don’t care what some Of the deaf purists claim. Nobody, ever sang it with the natural beauty and timbre Luciano Pavarotti did. His best song is by far “Caruso” a love song, it’s incredible
I am Italian, but I recognize that Luciano Pavarotti has represented opera music all over the world ... I am proud to be his fellow countryman, he was born, lived and died fifty kilometers from me ... What a fantastic artist ... he will miss him to all the world
Italian Lyrics and english translation Nessun dorma!... (Nobody shall sleep!...) Nessun dorma! (Nobody shall sleep!) Tu pure, o Principessa, (Even you, oh Princess,) nella tua fredda stanza, (in your cold room,) guardi le stelle, (watch the stars,) che fremono d'amore (that tremble with love) e di speranza. (and hope.) Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me, (But my secret is hidden within me,) il nome mio nessun saprà... (My name none shall know...) No, no! Sulla tura bocca lo dirò (No, no! On your mouth, I will tell it) quando la luce splenderà! (when the light shines!) Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio (And my kiss will dissolve the silence) che ti fa mia! (that makes you mine!) (Il nome suo nessun saprà) (No one will know his name) (e noi dovrem, ahimè, morir!) (and we must, alas, die!) Dilegua, o notte! (Vanish, o night!) Tramontate, stelle! (Set, stars!) Tramontate, stelle! (Set, stars!) All'alba vincerò - (At dawn, I will win -) Vincerò - (I will win -) Vincerò!~ (I will wiiin!)
Everyone is listening to this performance, there are many others. He has performed this aria many times over the years, you can see him doing it when he is years younger, and older. There are differences in each performance, in his younger days he could hold those last two notes even longer than he does here. You can also watch performances by other artists, also wonderful singers, you can see why Pavarotti was the best of the best. There is one performance where the camera does not cut fade out, it is so worth watching if you can find it. The emotions are easy to read, "Did I do it, was it good? Yes! I nailed it!" You can read all of that on his face, and his smile!
You have to check out the best vocalist from down under John Farnham singing the Beatles song "Help" live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His vocals are crazy and he's an entertainer, the way he interacts with the crowd is awesome. John Farnham is an Aussie icon.
Sorry, George but as soon as you said an Australian talent I, immediately, thought I bet he was born in Britain and he was! His family emigrated from the edge of London in 1959....:)
He Perfomed in The Olympic Opening Act in Rom but then a few Months Later he had Cancer and Died a Year Later you 2 should watch it aswell That was the best Performance ever
In 1996(?) he was scheduled to sing Nessun dorma at the Grammy awards. He got sick the day before and Aretha Franklin sang Nessun dorma. You need to listen to both of them. The same song, but two different voices, two different interpretations, the same emotional power.
We are Italian American - and my family has an Italian restaurant. The reason we don’t play this song at the restaurant is that people would stop eating and just listen! The greatest tenor who ever lived!!
You are either Italian or American, you can't be both. If a Swedish person move to China he doesn't become Chinese, he's just a Swede in China just like you're an Italian in America.
Pavarotti was so powerful! And he put his all in each note. At the end, after he stops singing, you see the intensity in his eyes. Thanks for doing this video. I had to get much older to appreciate him.
This performance feels to me, like a victory lap of human culture. The greatest voice of all times. This is a gift by italian culture to the mankind. A gift like Mozart or Bach.This music is immortal and till the last days of humanity we will listen to it. Mille grazie, Maestro. Mille grazie, Italia. .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! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa Nella tua fredda stanza Guardi le stelle che tremano D'amore e di speranza! Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me Il nome mio nessun saprà! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò Quando la luce splenderà! Ed il mio bacio scioglierà Il silenzio che ti fa mia! ll nome suo nessun saprà E noi dovrem, ahimè! Morir! Morir! Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!
Good reaction! This is a great piece. If you want to try something else different, I recommend carmina burana. I think a pair of women did it on the voice. Any orchestral version will be great too. Great stuff!
This is a love song for a WOMAN ... sung by a MAN in love. The Great Maestro named LUCIANO PAVAROTTI had this incredible ability to touched your SOUL.... using his exceptional VOICE. He usually touched and vibrate the souls of the HUMANS who heard his arias...... and even the ANGELS stopped in fascination just to listen to this miracle voice of a MAN.
Awesome reaction guys to the Maestro and legend that was Luciano Pavarotti. So hard to narrow down his performances as they are all epic, but three I would recommend are ‘Che gelida manina’, ‘Vesti la giubba’ and Ave Maria. Would love to see you react to these as they’ll blow your mind and might even make you shed a tear or two
What a great reaction!!! if you want try La donna é mobile ( rigoletto ) from Verdi Or Ah mes amis ( la fille du régiment ) from Donizetti Incredible performance ! Kiss from France 🇫🇷 Try Natalie dessay in glitter and be gay ( the video where she is wearing a black and white dress ) she is amazing !!!
Great to see you branching out like this. I'm excited for you guys. If you enjoyed Pavarotti, please check out a personal favorite of mine, Andrea Bocelli. He's completely blind, but with the voice of an angel. I've left you some links below: Perfect Symphony (feat. Ed Sheeran) - th-cam.com/video/eiDiKwbGfIY/w-d-xo.html Time To Say Goodbye (feat. Sarah Brightman) - th-cam.com/video/4L_yCwFD6Jo/w-d-xo.html Ave Maria - (Schubert) - th-cam.com/video/pwp1CH5R-w4/w-d-xo.html
If you want to explore more opera, you HAVE to listen to Barcelona with Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe. Freddie called her the best singer he had ever heard and was ecstatic when she agreed to meet and work with him. They became very close friends and she was devastated when Freddie passed. Barcelona was featured at the 1992 Olympics, which is where Montserrat was from. She was very proud to be a part of honoring her city. It’s a beautiful song and they’re both wonderful in it. ❤️
Nice. 2 suggestions. One...Google the song and opera b4 watching so you know what they’re stingy about, especially when in a foreign language as most operas are. Two...Check out the aria, QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, from the Magic Flute by Mozart. The version by Diana Damrau is my fave. It will blow you away. That one is in German, so Google it first. It’s actually terrifying. This one by Pavarotti was in Italian. Please, check out QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, thank you for introducing opera to many who’ve never heard it. Very nice. Cheers!
@Shawn and Mel, a 67 yo Italian by descent Londoner here. Just came across your channel and LOVED how you LISTENED to this. I, too, don't speak Italian - long story hahahhah - but I think NOT being able to understand what was being sung adds to the mystery and enhances the feeling and passion: it ALWAYS makes me cry. Also huge respects to you both for listening without interruption but we out here need to stress to you that opera - I'm a rock music fan, not opera - is a play in which there are songs, so a lot of background story behind the songs/arias and I HATE musicals!!. You've started pretty much at the top of the genre with this song: recommend Caruso and Ave Maria by him, also It's A Man's World with James Brown, is epic. Subscribed !!!!
This became massively famous as the main theme music to The Italia 90 World Cup. Always brings back memories as England lost in the semi-finals against West Germany on penalties😔 Pavarotti had an incredible voice
A great reaction to a true Masterpiece. Your looks of shock & awe are how we all feel when we hear this. Little side fact for you. For this performance that is under 4 minutes long, the Great Luciano received at 20 minute standing ovation.
YES, thank you! One of my favorite classical pieces of all time. It literally brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it; I can tell that you have excellent taste!
I played this for a female friend and she said it was too bad she couldn't understand what he was saying. I told her, "Hey, he's Italian, and he probably was singing about a woman. Listen closely and you can tell exactly what he's singing." I miss him.
Luciano Pavarotti is one of the greatest Tenors in opera history. "Nessun Dorma" (Nobody Sleeps) is the most famous aria from Puccini's opera "Turandot". It is also noteworthy that "Nessun Dorma" is a benchmark aria for top Tenors because on the last "Vincero" (I will win) the singer must hit and hold the "Tenor B4" note. Another great Tenor aria is "Vesti La Giubba" (Put on the Mask) from the opera "Pagliacci" by Leoncavallo. Check out Mario Lanza's rendition of "Vesti La Giubba", it's outstanding.
He did the same song in New York in 1980, and he did'nt have a freaking microphone! Check it out! (Nessum Dorma 1980 New York on TH-cam) He was IN HIS PRIME THEN :)
If you want more Pavarotti, here he is performing "Vesti la Giubba." Check it out! He plays a broken-hearted clown. th-cam.com/video/Z0PMq4XGtZ4/w-d-xo.html
Pavoratti, inspired by legend, Mario Lanza, as were many other tenors, and who had an unmatched quality to his voice! Listen to his version of "Nessun Dorma"or "I'll Walk with God" from the soundtrack of "The Student Prince."
He opened his mouth and beauty can forth. Spare me the Yankee Evangelist God stuff. He was a human being with a talent that few have. That said his "Pop" songs are mostly awful, If "Nessum Dorma" does not reach all of your senses than forget it, you are a One Direction Fan and I forgive you. I was introduced during the World Cup and the pre-Pavarotti benchmark was Jussi Bjoerling. Pavarotti is better.
vesti la giubba is a masterpiece by him.. also incredible and briliant interpretation. it goes about a clown who discovers his wife cheats on him and he has to go on stage and make people laugh
Your beautiful faces are a delight ❤ Thank you for your lovely reaction, the combination of Giacomo Puccini and Luciano Pavarotti is absolute perfection.
I know you guys have probably seen the video with Luciano, Pavarotti and James Brown. If you haven’t, they do a fabulous duet of James Brown’s song It’s a Man’s World. Glad you to have the wisdom to not interrupt that masterpiece in the middle. You were right, he sang with everything he had.
Shawn and Mel, I loved your totally honest and vulnerable reactions. I've watched Pavarotti sing this piece maybe 50 times, and each time makes me shed tears.
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Tu pure, o Principessa, Not even you, oh Princess, nella tua fredda stanza, in your cold bedroom, guardi le stelle watching the stars che tremano d'amore, e di speranza! that tremble with love, and with hope! Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me; But my secret is hidden within me; il nome mio nessun saprà! no one will know my name! No, No! Sulla tua bocca, No, no! On your mouth, lo dirò quando la luce splenderà! I will say it when the light shines! Ed il mio bacio scioglierà And my kiss will dissolve il silenzio che ti fa mia! the silence that makes you mine! (coro: il nome su nessun saprà e noi dovrem ahimè morir) - chorus: (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) Dilegua, o notte! Vanish, o night! Tramontate, stelle! Fade, you stars! Tramontate, stelle! Fade, you stars! All'alba, vincerò! At dawn, I will win! Vincerò! Vincerò! I will win! I will win!
nobody shall sleep! nobody 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! At dawn, i will win! I will win! I will win!
Every time someone says that is listening to Pavarotti for the first time calling this a "song" and not an "aria" without knowing the difference, and every time people say that this is a Pavarotti's song not knowing that is a part if an opera written by a guy called Puccini....every time all this happens, an Italian dies.
you should check out a singer called Mario lanza, he was an American film star and opera singer in the 40's and 50's, he was the guy who influenced the likes of Pavarotti to become a tennor, Lanza was also my late father's favorite singer.
So that the opera singer is able to give a good performance on stage full of emotions and acting. They must have learned the technique of singing for at least ten years. After this time, they have experienced the singer so well that they don't have to pay attention to her and they focus on the acting part. ... Im opera singer. this is normal siging form me. But yes, he had great voice :) ... I heve bassis voice - like: E. Schrott, Adbarzakov. I like D'Arcangelo, too.
He's singing about a night. The title means something like 'let no one sleep'. If you like Pavarotti then you may enjoy ' the three tenors in NYC" He was one of the three and the concert was to help one of them return to his musical career (He had recovered from cancer). You, also may enjoy watching the clip of Andrea Boccelli sing to Elmo on Sesame Street. ( Watch the clip with the little girl with the dark hair) Yeah...opera singer on Sesame Street. Opera for everyone!
There are many more songs from Pavarotti for you to listen to. Caruso is a favorite, Una Furtiva LaCrima, Pagliaccio, with English subtitles, posted by Mata Tosti, and No Pagliaccio Non Son, also with subtitles and posted by Mata Tosti. Caruso is about the great opera singer Enrico Caruso, who learned, at the age of 48, that he was dying. The writer of the song, Lucia Dalla, imagined how Caruso would tell his young wife of two years that he is dying. Un Furtiva LaCrima is about a man who sees the woman he loves cry a single tear as she watches the younger girls and their lovers dancing together. When he sees her loneliness he knows he can win her love. Canio the clown (Pagliaccio) learns that his beloved wife is unfaithful, yet he must go on and perform for his audience, even though his heart is breaking. No, Pagliaccio Non Son is the closing act of the play, where he demands his wife tell him who her lover is. Nessun Dorma is the story of a prince who wants to win the hand of a princess. In the morning he must answer her three questions correctly or lose his head. But he has no fear, he knows he will win. He has kept his name a secret, the princess has sent all of her servants to ask everyone for his name. No one is sleeping (Nessun Dorma). You can find any of his songs with subtitles using the search box.
Hi guys. I always think if we ever wanted to hear the voice of God almighty singing opera, that's what he would sound like. PLEASE also listen to the great man sing 'Ave Maria' it'll bring a lump to your throat I promise you. God rest the great man, taken from us far too soon and may his dear soul rest in eternal peace.
I would love you to react to Maria Callas - one of the best opera singers of all time. Another is my favorite opera piece called The Flower Duet; it’s like angels singing.
Try yet another classical music one, but every classical music song doesn't have to be serious Every summer the BBC holds what they call the Prom Concerts. A lot of serious music, but on the last night of the festival, they let their hair down a little. The orchestra dresses in bright colours, there are streamers and balloons everywhere and the audience of normally cultivated ladies and gentlemen can get a little rowdy. This is a song sung by Anna Netrebko from an operetta called Giuditta by Franz Lehar. and she wows and teases the audience That's all you need to know, as the screen has English subtitles. Enjoy. .th-cam.com/video/p_kaOYC_Fww/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction, very real adn respectful (not pausing at the middle like many others) great song..sublime is then only word that sort of does the trick.
The master . when he sings , I listen .
Absolutely! Try the great Swedish tenor Jussi Bjoerling. Pavarotti said in his opinion he was the best lyric tenor he ever heard!
I requested this!
Please try another master the great Swedish tenor Jussi Bjoerling, who Pavarotti called who he aspired to,
All listen to this man. You can’t ignore him. He puts his all in every note
One does not listen to Pavarotti. You experience him!
Bb king and Pavarotti the thrill is gone...
Pavarotti was a great gift for the world. There are so many masterpieces. From the same concert for example Ave Maria: th-cam.com/video/XpYGgtrMTYs/w-d-xo.html
Or listen to E lucevan le stelle from the concert in Central Park: th-cam.com/video/VBsLBU9wbMM/w-d-xo.html Or enjoy the Pavarotti snd friends duets. For example with Celine Dion th-cam.com/video/otAu5twqDpkt/w-d-xo.html
or Stevie Wonder: th-cam.com/video/xoClSToRAxM/w-d-xo.html
This is my mother's favorite singer. She really loved her opera. I've come to appreciate it solely because of my mother's love for it
Me too
Your mother had excellent taste! I was blessed to see Pavarotti live in Hamburg. I still get gooooooose pimples whenever I listen to him.
And he was such a humble man, spent all his money on helping people in his local village in Italy, yet was a global superstar.
A great man and the greatest tenor ever. He didn't give quite all his money. His estate was $500 million.
Pavarotti and James brown live it’s man world
The sad thing about that video is Pavarotti is not in his best voice and looks extremely distressed. His father died the day before, but because the event was for charity, he still did the show which shows what a professional he was and what a kind soul he had.
As an opera singer he is the best .
He gives me chills
i hear he sings a bad blue grass tune as well.
I will win, I will win, what a voice. the look on his face when he finishes is incredible. Passion.
Nessun Dorma ( "no one sleeps") is an aria sung by all the great opera stars (male and female)........this is probably the most moving rendition of all....R.I.P., Maestro Pavarotti
Dal numero uno è ancora più bella...😉👍
@@cesarefoligno7957 sono d'accordo....."Pav" era il maestro
His voice is almost ANGELIC!! If the ascent into heaven has a sound to it…THIS is what I would envision it to sound like!!!
Your faces say it all!! He is sadly missed.
Hi was The GREATEST EVER! If he doesn't touch your heart, yot don't have one !
So true 😍
Another great Italian tenor was Mario Lanza who my parents (and me) lived next door to on Christian Street in South Philadelphia 🎤🎶🙌🏽
WOW 🤩 we are checking it out and thanks for watching
The variety of music to which you listen is absolutely fantastic. Nessum Dorma is one of the worlds great pieces of music sung but the greatest tenor of all times. Believe it or not Luciano did a duet with Meatloaf a few years back of Oh Solo Mio. Astounding. What a wonderful reaction from the two of you. Please do more opera. Thanks!
Hey Dave, we will definitely do more Opera my friend 💜😀😀
react to Jussi Bjoerling the great swedish tenor sing this. Pavarotti said he was his favorite.
@@ShawnandMel4Life have you tried The Magic Flute - Queen of the Night aria by Mozart? You'll be blown away!
PAVAROTTI💜 accompagnaci sempre... La tua guida è un sentiero per molti e la tua arte è l'orgoglio della lirica

Hey Michael, thank you so much for your comment 💜
As you mention Caruso. Enrico Caruso himself did Nessun Dorma too, imho as such as beautiful as this version.
So beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear that song! God really blessed that man!!
I am Italian, but I recognize that Luciano Pavarotti has represented opera music all over the world ... I am proud to be his fellow countryman, he was born, lived and died fifty kilometers from me ... What a fantastic artist ... he will miss him to all the world

Hey Christine Robinson, thank you for watching. I absolutely love Opera. Luciano has a beautiful voice💜😀
I'm 74 years of age and Luciano Pavarotti is the best tenor I've heard so far.
you should check out CARISO by him

His family emigrated from the edge of London in 1959....:)
Sounds about right Dani :)
So amazingly effortless! It's like he went out to buy a pack of cigarettes and casually started singing on the way! 😅😅
He Perfomed in The Olympic Opening Act in Rom but then a few Months Later he had Cancer and Died a Year Later
you 2 should watch it aswell
That was the best Performance ever
I think you'd like Fritz Wunderlich singing Granada. It's only a few minutes long. Maybe do a reaction...
Greatness transcends genres. Bravo
Check out Luciano Pavarotti in a duet with James Brown (yes, THAT James Brown) sing, It’s a Mans World...
May I respectfully recommend Pavarotti's performance of, "Cielo e Mar," (sky and sea). It's a bit longer but extraordinary.
In 1996(?) he was scheduled to sing Nessun dorma at the Grammy awards. He got sick the day before and Aretha Franklin sang Nessun dorma. You need to listen to both of them. The same song, but two different voices, two different interpretations, the same emotional power.
our vivaldi ... we going to take this guy to eternity . the closest we gonna get to god . Omnipotente Luciano!!!
We are Italian American - and my family has an Italian restaurant. The reason we don’t play this song at the restaurant is that people would stop eating and just listen! The greatest tenor who ever lived!!
You are either Italian or American, you can't be both.

@@OriginalPuro nope. We are actually dual citizens - both Italian and American. You can be both. But thanks
loved your reaction! try vestila giubba next! amazing!
doesnt matter what colour you are, what nationality you are, what faith you are. the voice is all that matters, true to your heart.
Pavarotti was so powerful! And he put his all in each note. At the end, after he stops singing, you see the intensity in his eyes. Thanks for doing this video. I had to get much older to appreciate him.
no matter what kind of music u liste,when u hear this masterpiece u need to stand up and applause,Reast in peace maestro Pavarotti
This performance feels to me, like a victory lap of human culture. The greatest voice of all times.
This is a gift by italian culture to the mankind. A gift like Mozart or Bach.This music is immortal and till the last days of humanity we will listen to it.
Mille grazie, Maestro. Mille grazie, Italia.
.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! Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle che tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me
Il nome mio nessun saprà!
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò
Quando la luce splenderà!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!

Here’s another for you. Loads of emotion and plenty of sanging the pearl fisher duet by bizet
My favorite duet. Bizet is amazing. Carmen chorus and Michaela aria is beautiful.
Good reaction! This is a great piece. If you want to try something else different, I recommend carmina burana. I think a pair of women did it on the voice. Any orchestral version will be great too. Great stuff!
Hey Meagan B, thank you so much for your request. We will it to our list💜😀

Ya baby! The GOAT in Opera tenors. He will be missed but never forgotten!!!!
Awesome reaction guys to the Maestro and legend that was Luciano Pavarotti. So hard to narrow down his performances as they are all epic, but three I would recommend are ‘Che gelida manina’, ‘Vesti la giubba’ and Ave Maria. Would love to see you react to these as they’ll blow your mind and might even make you shed a tear or two
What a great reaction!!!
if you want try
La donna é mobile ( rigoletto ) from Verdi
Or
Ah mes amis ( la fille du régiment ) from Donizetti
Incredible performance !
Kiss from France 🇫🇷
Try Natalie dessay in glitter and be gay
( the video where she is wearing a black and white dress ) she is amazing !!!
This was No.1 in the UK pop charts for weeks
Great to see you branching out like this. I'm excited for you guys. If you enjoyed Pavarotti, please check out a personal favorite of mine, Andrea Bocelli. He's completely blind, but with the voice of an angel. I've left you some links below:

Time To Say Goodbye (feat. Sarah Brightman) - th-cam.com/video/4L_yCwFD6Jo/w-d-xo.html
Ave Maria - (Schubert) - th-cam.com/video/pwp1CH5R-w4/w-d-xo.html
Probably the most famous of operatic tenor of all time. He's was a huge name 20 -40 years ago.
Hey arsenalmanic, thank you for your comment! I’m going to do more research on his career 💜😀
If you want to explore more opera, you HAVE to listen to Barcelona with Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe. Freddie called her the best singer he had ever heard and was ecstatic when she agreed to meet and work with him. They became very close friends and she was devastated when Freddie passed. Barcelona was featured at the 1992 Olympics, which is where Montserrat was from. She was very proud to be a part of honoring her city. It’s a beautiful song and they’re both wonderful in it. ❤️
Nice. 2 suggestions. One...Google the song and opera b4 watching so you know what they’re stingy about, especially when in a foreign language as most operas are. Two...Check out the aria, QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, from the Magic Flute by Mozart. The version by Diana Damrau is my fave. It will blow you away. That one is in German, so Google it first. It’s actually terrifying. This one by Pavarotti was in Italian. Please, check out QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, thank you for introducing opera to many who’ve never heard it. Very nice. Cheers!
Thank you for not interrupting while the master sang. Could tell you were mesmerised.
@Shawn and Mel, a 67 yo Italian by descent Londoner here. Just came across your channel and LOVED how you LISTENED to this. I, too, don't speak Italian - long story hahahhah - but I think NOT being able to understand what was being sung adds to the mystery and enhances the feeling and passion: it ALWAYS makes me cry. Also huge respects to you both for listening without interruption but we out here need to stress to you that opera - I'm a rock music fan, not opera - is a play in which there are songs, so a lot of background story behind the songs/arias and I HATE musicals!!. You've started pretty much at the top of the genre with this song: recommend Caruso and Ave Maria by him, also It's A Man's World with James Brown, is epic. Subscribed !!!!
This became massively famous as the main theme music to The Italia 90 World Cup. Always brings back memories as England lost in the semi-finals against West Germany on penalties😔
Pavarotti had an incredible voice
A great reaction to a true Masterpiece. Your looks of shock & awe are how we all feel when we hear this.
Little side fact for you. For this performance that is under 4 minutes long, the Great Luciano received at 20 minute standing ovation.
Introduce your daughter to an amazing violin composition by R. Vaughn Williams, called "The Lark Ascending". Oh my, it takes you to heaven.
Hey Fam thanks for watching ❤️❤️We will be sure to tell her about it!
YES, thank you! One of my favorite classical pieces of all time. It literally brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it; I can tell that you have excellent taste!
I always love to see people reaction on the high note.
this is not the best Nessun Dorma performance by Pavarotti on TH-cam. U should check the others from him
The great pavarotti! Nessun dorma is one of the best opera songs!
Guys, it's Lu-chi-ano. lol
Thank you so much for the correction 💜💜
He always brings me to tears.
I played this for a female friend and she said it was too bad she couldn't understand what he was saying. I told her, "Hey, he's Italian, and he probably was singing about a woman. Listen closely and you can tell exactly what he's singing." I miss him.
We all miss him😞
This opera, turandot, will be performed at movie theatres this Wednesday around the country through the metropolitan opera Broadcasts
La voce degli angeli
Nobody TOUCHES Pavarotti. I don't care who you are. Even back to Mario Lanza. Luciano was a special man, a special talent. Untouchable.
Luciano Pavarotti is one of the greatest Tenors in opera history. "Nessun Dorma" (Nobody Sleeps) is the most famous aria from Puccini's opera "Turandot". It is also noteworthy that "Nessun Dorma" is a benchmark aria for top Tenors because on the last "Vincero" (I will win) the singer must hit and hold the "Tenor B4" note. Another great Tenor aria is "Vesti La Giubba" (Put on the Mask) from the opera "Pagliacci" by Leoncavallo. Check out Mario Lanza's rendition of "Vesti La Giubba", it's outstanding.
Amira Willighagen Flower Duet LIVE 2017 : Amira is a young opera singer and she's breathtaking. Check it out
He did the same song in New York in 1980, and he did'nt have a freaking microphone! Check it out! (Nessum Dorma 1980 New York on TH-cam)
He was IN HIS PRIME THEN :)
The literal translation of that means never sleep, nessun=sleep and dorma=moon or night
You Must Hear THIS ONE!
Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona (Live at La Nit, 1988 Remastered)
Okay, so listen to Ave Maria, from the same concert. Then, get Vesti la Guibba from an opera, with subtitles. And do Caruso also. Goosebumps.
If you want more Pavarotti, here he is performing "Vesti la Giubba." Check it out! He plays a broken-hearted clown.

Pavoratti, inspired by legend, Mario Lanza, as were many other tenors, and who had an unmatched quality to his voice! Listen to his version of "Nessun Dorma"or "I'll Walk with God" from the soundtrack of "The Student Prince."
He opened his mouth and beauty can forth. Spare me the Yankee Evangelist God stuff. He was a human being with a talent that few have. That said his "Pop" songs are mostly awful, If "Nessum Dorma" does not reach all of your senses than forget it, you are a One Direction Fan and I forgive you. I was introduced during the World Cup and the pre-Pavarotti benchmark was Jussi Bjoerling. Pavarotti is better.
vesti la giubba is a masterpiece by him.. also incredible and briliant interpretation. it goes about a clown who discovers his wife cheats on him and he has to go on stage and make people laugh
Hey Friend, thank you so much for watching ❤️
Your beautiful faces are a delight ❤ Thank you for your lovely reaction, the combination of Giacomo Puccini and Luciano Pavarotti is absolute perfection.
I know you guys have probably seen the video with Luciano, Pavarotti and James Brown. If you haven’t, they do a fabulous duet of James Brown’s song It’s a Man’s World.
Glad you to have the wisdom to not interrupt that masterpiece in the middle. You were right, he sang with everything he had.
Have you listened to Amira Willighagen? This one: André Rieu & Amira - O Mio Babbino Caro?
Shawn and Mel, I loved your totally honest and vulnerable reactions. I've watched Pavarotti sing this piece maybe 50 times, and each time makes me shed tears.
He was the best loved Tenor in the world. You should check out his duet videos with pop singers.Celind Dion, Steven Tyler, Bryan Adams.
Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! None shall sleep! None shall sleep!
Tu pure, o Principessa, Not even you, oh Princess,
nella tua fredda stanza, in your cold bedroom,
guardi le stelle watching the stars
che tremano d'amore, e di speranza! that tremble with love, and with hope!
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me; But my secret is hidden within me;
il nome mio nessun saprà! no one will know my name! No, No!
Sulla tua bocca, No, no! On your mouth, lo dirò quando la luce splenderà! I will say it when the light shines!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà And my kiss will dissolve
il silenzio che ti fa mia! the silence that makes you mine!
(coro: il nome su nessun saprà e noi dovrem ahimè morir) - chorus: (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.)
Dilegua, o notte! Vanish, o night! Tramontate, stelle! Fade, you stars!
Tramontate, stelle! Fade, you stars! All'alba, vincerò! At dawn, I will win!
Vincerò! Vincerò! I will win! I will win!
To fully appreciate this you should read a synopsis of Puccini's Opera Turandot and this Aria "None Shall Sleep"
My father loved Pavarotti, he's the goat, check out Aretha Franklin doing this song, so beautiful as well.
nobody shall sleep!
nobody 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!
At dawn, i will win!
I will win!
I will win!
Every time someone says that is listening to Pavarotti for the first time calling this a "song" and not an "aria" without knowing the difference, and every time people say that this is a Pavarotti's song not knowing that is a part if an opera written by a guy called Puccini....every time all this happens, an Italian dies.
you should check out a singer called Mario lanza, he was an American film star and opera singer in the 40's and 50's, he was the guy who influenced the likes of Pavarotti to become a tennor, Lanza was also my late father's favorite singer.
So that the opera singer is able to give a good performance on stage full of emotions and acting. They must have learned the technique of singing for at least ten years. After this time, they have experienced the singer so well that they don't have to pay attention to her and they focus on the acting part. ... Im opera singer. this is normal siging form me. But yes, he had great voice :) ... I heve bassis voice - like: E. Schrott, Adbarzakov. I like D'Arcangelo, too.
I didn’t request it but try Luciano and James Brown with It’s A Man’s World. Will blow your mind
He's singing about a night. The title means something like 'let no one sleep'. If you like Pavarotti then you may enjoy ' the three tenors in NYC" He was one of the three and the concert was to help one of them return to his musical career (He had recovered from cancer). You, also may enjoy watching the clip of Andrea Boccelli sing to Elmo on Sesame Street. ( Watch the clip with the little girl with the dark hair) Yeah...opera singer on Sesame Street. Opera for everyone!
There are many more songs from Pavarotti for you to listen to. Caruso is a favorite, Una Furtiva LaCrima, Pagliaccio, with English subtitles, posted by Mata Tosti, and No Pagliaccio Non Son, also with subtitles and posted by Mata Tosti. Caruso is about the great opera singer Enrico Caruso, who learned, at the age of 48, that he was dying. The writer of the song, Lucia Dalla, imagined how Caruso would tell his young wife of two years that he is dying. Un Furtiva LaCrima is about a man who sees the woman he loves cry a single tear as she watches the younger girls and their lovers dancing together. When he sees her loneliness he knows he can win her love. Canio the clown (Pagliaccio) learns that his beloved wife is unfaithful, yet he must go on and perform for his audience, even though his heart is breaking. No, Pagliaccio Non Son is the closing act of the play, where he demands his wife tell him who her lover is. Nessun Dorma is the story of a prince who wants to win the hand of a princess. In the morning he must answer her three questions correctly or lose his head. But he has no fear, he knows he will win. He has kept his name a secret, the princess has sent all of her servants to ask everyone for his name. No one is sleeping (Nessun Dorma). You can find any of his songs with subtitles using the search box.
Hi guys. I always think if we ever wanted to hear the voice of God almighty singing opera, that's what he would sound like. PLEASE also listen to the great man sing 'Ave Maria' it'll bring a lump to your throat I promise you. God rest the great man, taken from us far too soon and may his dear soul rest in eternal peace.
I like the subtle emotions that the he and song bring out that we don't often feel in everyday society.Nice job!
I would love you to react to Maria Callas - one of the best opera singers of all time. Another is my favorite opera piece called The Flower Duet; it’s like angels singing.
Try yet another classical music one, but every classical music song doesn't have to be serious Every summer the BBC holds what they call the Prom Concerts. A lot of serious music, but on the last night of the festival, they let their hair down a little. The orchestra dresses in bright colours, there are streamers and balloons everywhere and the audience of normally cultivated ladies and gentlemen can get a little rowdy. This is a song sung by Anna Netrebko from an operetta called Giuditta by Franz Lehar. and she wows and teases the audience That's all you need to know, as the screen has English subtitles. Enjoy. .th-cam.com/video/p_kaOYC_Fww/w-d-xo.html

Andrea Bocelli Lamento di Federico is really beautiful too.
Great reaction, very real adn respectful (not pausing at the middle like many others) great song..sublime is then only word that sort of does the trick.
