He received 20 minutes of standing ovation, his voice was a gift from God.

[@oskarobit]

He is standing at a lectern. One real legend il Signiore Luciano Pavarotti. This is one of the best love songs ever written. Luciano joined the Spanish Plácido Domingo and José Carreras in a project called ‘The Three Tenors’, which made opera classics accessible to the general public.

As an Italian I can say that Pavarotti, aka Big Luciano, is one of the greatest Italian prides in the world!

In general opera is downright athletic! Opera combines acting (moving about on a stage), sometimes taking actions like climbing stairs-holding on to precarious places on the stage-and singing, as you are hearing. Standing is best because it positions the body to fully expand the lungs. But opera singers train as singers and as athletes so they have the endurance and reserves (respiratory and endurance) to act comfortably while singing. Delving into classical music is indeed a deep dive but you don’t need to learn everything to get something valuable out of the journey. For example, what we call “classical music” today was yesterday’s popnm music (with the exception of sacred-church-music). There is a direct line from music of the past to 20th century folk and pop music to jazz to rock & roll… Tracing that line back can bring entire new levels of understanding to “modern” pop/rock. Some of the things you’ve expressed delight in-they were mastered in the 1600s Germany by JS Bach, and spread out from there influencing other composers as music spread and evolved. And Bach also was influenced-we can trace back centuries of influence prior, but… An aria (ah ree uh) is a song. Musical terms are almost always in Italian; opera is generally in Italian-unless the composer chose to go against custom. An Opera tells a story (true or fanciful) and consists of a significant musical opening called an overture, and a series of arias-some of which are solos, some duets, and so on-and choral pieces, either as bridges or songs in their own right, through which the story of the opera is told. A set-or different sets-get switched in as the story advances. There is usually one or two intermissions during a performance. The way opera sounded evolved over the centuries. Renaissance opera has one type of sound (Monteverdi), Baroque opera another (Handel), Classical opera yet another (Mozart-there’s nothing like a Mozart opera), Romantic (Opera’s heyday: Puccini, Wagner), Modern & Contemporary. Into this mix is operetta: essentially a composition as robust as an opera but written to be sung by standing performers, not acted in costumes. Handel wrote many wonderful operettas-the famous Hallelujah chorus comes from one of them. Gilbert & Sullivan are credited with many “light operas,” something between a play and a small scale opera (Opera had grown into huge, expensive productions, telling Grand stories-sometimes about small subjects, but GRAND stories. G&S was more “Wednesday Night” in scale. An example of a modern equivalent is Copland’s “In The Beginning”, an a cappella piece for mezzo-Soprano and SATB chorus (a personal favorite both because it’s a wonderful piece of music and because I was part of the concert choir that performed this in Lincoln Center some #&@$y years ago and it’s a very good memory…

[@carolcaudill6024]

Luciano Pavarotti was a great opera singer and a beautiful soul

[@bryanCJC2105]

You're thinking of one of the other three tenors, Placido Domingo, who was born in Spain but lived in Mexico from the age of 8 where he studied music and began his career in the 1960s. Opera is worth exploring, there are lots of amazing opera songs that can take you on a fantastic journey. People of my generation, Gen X, are more familiar with opera than we know thanks to Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny cartoons have a lot of opera in them and I still will hear an opera and think "OMG that's from that episode of Bugs Bunny where blah blah blah..." So I like opera because I grew up with it. In LA, the LA Philharmonic puts on a show at the Hollywood Bowl where they play the opera music to Bugs Bunny cartoons on the screen. It's awesome. This particular performance always brings tears to my eyes because it's very emotional even though I don't speak Italian, it's the music, the voice, the grandeur of it. I think you would enjoy exploring a little opera. Queen of the Night from The Magic Flute, Habanera from Carmen, Adagio by Il Divo, Libiano from La Traviata, and Die Fledermaus by Johann Sebastian Bach are good places to start, or maybe start with some clips from The Three Tenors concerts.

[@nessaarandur7740]

Same. Seeing Bugs Bunny dressed up as a girl bunny singing in "What's Opera, Doc?" with Elmer Fudd is probably why I love opera today. 🥰

[@subwaygoddess1]

I knew a lady who worked at the Metropolitan Opera in NYC, and she got to meet Luciano when he performed there. She said he was such an amazing person, very friendly, and he used to speak with everyone. My grand-aunt had a collectors item(a 78 speed record)by Enrico Caruso, GOAT of past times, and she gave it to my friend to give to Luciano. He was so happy, and I love that memory. I wish I'd gotten to meet him! I'm happy you got to react to him

[@kingvii7250]

As an opera singer you have to deal with all sorts of position, because an opera is basically a teater play with conversation on stage, performaded singing. An opera singer is probebly the most and hardest trained singers.

[@terrymarr5265]

He’s not sitting down. The conductor is elevated behind him so that every musician can see him.

[@marysweeney7370]

The easiest way to enjoy Pavarotti's voice is to listen to his Christmas music and to the Three Tenors. These are very popular works and will give you an appreciation for Pavarotti if you don't prefer an entire opera.

Classical music artists, groups, and orchestras definitely have recording contracts with record labels, that usually have Classical music divisions. Others are “Classical music only”. Decca Records was a Pop music record label for decades, but in the 21st Century, they only release Classical music recordings.

[@user-q3c7y]

Here in Italy Luciano Pavarotti is considered one of the best tenors ever. I think he was. Your reaction confirms this opinion.

[@andreasmith6528]

I got to see him in concert in 2003. He wasn't in his prime then and he was STILL amazing. I cried. I'm very happy you're reacting to this. Your pronunciation is very close. It's Nay-soon Dorma (like Norma) from the opera Turandot. If you want to win an opera trivia game, it IS Turandot with a T. Congrats, because people think it's Turan-doh. It's not French. LOL If you really WANT to hear more Pararotti, I would suggest "Vesti la giubba" from I Pagliacci (ee pah-li-ah-chi). And you would be completely amazed at Adam Lambert singing Nessun Dorma with Queen in Italy two years ago. It was just done on the fly. He's no Pavarotti, but he was tremendous.

[@Tom-pw2ni]

wow, it's been like 10 years since I've listened to Luciano. I forgot how amazing he was. I was very fortunate to see him at the MET twice at the end of his career in Tosca and Boheme, and both were amazing!

[@meganwoida3475]

Aretha Franklin sung this. Paverotti was supposed to sing this at the Grammys but fell ill suddenly and asked Aretha to take over for him. So she did the performance without being able to practice with.the other muscians or for them to even shift it into a key more comfortable for her. She hit it out of the park with an arrangement that was made for a male tenor! The low notes that she hits are ridiculous. Absolutely worth a reaction. The faces of the singers in the audience are worth a reaction in itself.

[@keithcloyd6097]

Aretha was no Pavarotti! No comparison!

But you are right, "this dude can sing". Also. it's great you notice that it is HARD WORK to sing opera. At the end, if you look closely, you can see his chest heaving like someone who just ran a race. It often makes me cry when I hear him. But then, Freddy Mercury made me cry when he sang sometimes. Freddie Mercury sang Nessun Dorma on stage one time.

[@TerryVogelaar]

In case you want to know the meaning: there was a princess who sworn to marry the man who could solve her 3 riddles. Nobody could, except one unknown man. But the princess changed her mind and turned him down. The man then said that he had a riddle of his own. If she could say his name before dawn, she didn't have to marry him. A bit like the Rumpelstiltskin fairytale. She got angry because why would she marry a man if she doesn't even know his name, you know? She said to her people that nobody was allowed to sleep until someone could tell her the guy's name. You guessed it: Pavarotti sings the part of the unknown man, and he sings a serenade, a song to charm the princess. That is why the song begins with "No one must sleep". Then he sings about his mystery: "No one will know my name". Then he ends with: "At dawn, I will win."

[@deborahsummers6647]

The three major labels for operatic performers and classical music are Deutsche Grammophon/Archiv, Decca and Phillips. The pronunciation for Nessun Dorma is Door-ma, not DorMah. And the lyrics are Italian. And yes, he is not sitting down, lol. Btw, you are a fine looking man yourself! Never ever put yourself down.

[@nessaarandur7740]

Would love to see you react to some of Pavarotti's filmed opera performances. They give you more of a feeling of the story and characters. One that I know is on YT is Rigoletto at the MET Opera in 1981, but there are plenty of others.

He's standing. You can see him adjust stance just before he begins singing. You can't sing this sitting down.

The conductor is raised on a podium so that all of the orchestra and chorus can see his direction. Pavarotti was considered to be a "fat" man, but that isn't true. He carried a whole orchestra and chorus within his body.

Aber die Oper ist nun schon 100 Jahre alt und man schreibt, dass ihre Ursprünge ungefähr 1850 anzusiedeln sind. Puccini hat somit ein zeitloses Werk geschaffen, das in seiner Sprache einzigartig ist.

Love the Tenors. But you MUST find yourself a good recording of the epic Enrico Caruso, the greatest Tenor of all time IMO. The unfortunate thing is that he lived in an era of limited recording technology. But if you search you'll find restored versions. Caruso WAS and IS the man when it comes to classical Tenors. Every Tenor since chases him.

Hey your a good looking dude and look intellectual on top!

[@tlparadis]

Friend, please stop calling yourself stupid; you're most definitely not! Ignorant of many things? Of course! All of us are because no one knows everything. You're here being fearless to experience unfamiliar things and openly express your impressions and emotional impressions. You have a distinct point of view and express yourself clearly. Having that ability to communicate your thoughts and feelings is a strength and skill. Many of the words that you struggled with pronouncing are musical terms in Italian and unless you've played an instrument or learned to speak Italian, you're simply going to struggle with pronunciation. It's not a fault; you're learning. Opera is a genre that requires some basic knowledge in order to be able truly appreciate it deeply. Think about a sport (football, soccer, gymnastics, etc.) If you don't know the rules of the game, it's a mystery as to how and why the actions in front of you are taking place. It's the same with opera.There are lots of books that give introductory knowledge about the history, traditions, and performance practice (which changes over time). A little bit of deeper study would take you a long way in being able to understand and enjoy the experience. I often encourage people to consider the physicality of singing opera. Most of the excellent singers are quite athletic (in spite of the stereotypical perception of the zaftig woman in a horned helmet) as it takes your entire body to truly sing these challenging pieces. Here's a couple of links to give you an entry point (of course, only if you're interested!): www.kennedy-center.org/education/resources-for-educators/classroom-resources/media-and-interactives/media/opera/understanding-opera/ and www.eno.org/discover-opera/the-beginners-guide-to-opera/ There's the language barrier which opera companies try to mitigate by providing supertitles (or subtitles in videos). When I'm seeing an unfamiliar opera, I typically find and read a synopsis first and then find the libretto (Italian for the text/transcript of the lyrics) While I can pronounce words in several languages, I'm not fluent in any but English, so if it's in another language, I look up and find a translation to read. And then I get at least one recording of it and listen to it several times over. This way, when I'm at a live performance I'm able to pay attention to the physical performance more than trying to comprehend the text. As for sitting not being OK for performing, that depends. Of course it's more ideal to stand and sing, but when you're performing an opera, you're acting as well as singing and sometimes that means you're sitting or climbing stairs or dancing or kneeling or lying on the floor and trying to get up on your feet! One must develop the skills to be able to manage the required movement and blocking to act, move, and sing. If you want to try listening to a female voice, you can try Dame Joan Sutherland's "Caro Nome" [KA-roe NO-may] which translates to "sweet name", from the opera Rigoletto by Verdi. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJOYl2mDjs2pqq8 Here's a summary of the opera with an English translation of this aria (AH-ree-ah - translated, it means "air" or breath): www.liveabout.com/verdis-caro-nome-lyrics-724321 Alternatively, you can try Der Holle Rache ( DARE HUH-la RA-kuh - sort of. There are sounds that we don't use much in English. In German it translates to "Hell's Revenge") from the Magic Flute by Mozart. She was what is known as a "coloratura" soprano which means she's adept with vocal agility. You'll hear it in both recordings. Anyway, that's enough of a lecture! I truly enjoy watching your commentary and willingness to try various genres.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCco42godisj7s This is Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor; composed for a 10-octave organ. And this performance is played on one of those huge organs. Which was the organ in the photo or played on an organ like the one in the photo. You very likely herd part of this song in a horror movie. As it is a haunting song. This song sounds good not matter how it’s played. But on a huge organ in a large auditorium with all those octaves and the reverb from all that space; the song is at its best. Bach seems to have composed it just for this type of environment. If you are open to Opera, how about classical music from Bach? A man who may be the greatest documented composer of history.

[@suem6004]

This is your first opera experience. It’s okay. You did fine. Whenever cartoons like Bugs Bunny depict the classic Italian opera tenor, this is how they look and sound. Takes years and years for breath control and articulation for beauty and emotion. Opera is musical soap opera. To be honest, operas do not have the best plots for modern audiences. Definitely not politically correct. But there are other arias by tenors you can listen to. KZbin has full operas with English subtitles to follow along. That is how everyone learns. The opera music was the height of the best composers meet the best singers. Do not denigrate yourself. Opera singers are just people like you and me except they have trained voices.
