Luciano Pavarotti, an iconic Italian tenor, remains one of the most admired figures in the world of opera, renowned for his extraordinary vocal clarity and powerful delivery. Celebrated for his mastery of bel canto technique, Pavarotti's performances brought opera to a wider audience through his numerous recordings, televised concerts, and notable appearances like the Three Tenors concert series. His interpretation of arias such as 'Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's Turandot has become legendary, showcasing his ability to convey deep emotions with unparalleled expressiveness. Pavarotti's influence extends beyond classical music, having collaborated with contemporary artists, which helped bridge the gap between classical opera and popular music. His legacy continues to inspire and attract new fans around the globe, cementing his status as one of the greatest operatic tenors of all time

A few months ago, in our way to school, my 9 years old child told me they were going to talk about opera in school. He told me ‘daddy, what’s opera?’. I got my phone and told him I was going to show him. On the last ‘Vincero’ he started to shake and his mouth was wide open, tears falling through his eyes. When the video ended, I told him ‘that’s opera, I watched this when I was a child and I felt exactly how you feel right now. This is why I love opera’. He said nothing, but I could really see he was genuinely impressed and didn’t know how to express himself.

[@jackwhitbread4583]

Pavarotti himself stated emphatically that while he always had a love for football his one and only passion and obsession in life was the Opera. He was a fierce believer that Opera belonged to the people and there is a reason he worked so hard to promote and bring the Opera to the masses. He also taught free classes to up and coming tenors, he was very supportive of his fellow colleagues and wanted to teach them better techniques to further their careers.

Not only have I listened to many singers doing Nessum Dorma, I have also listened to many versions of Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma, and for me, this one is still, by far, the best. Unbelievable how he could sing so quietly and so loud at the same time. He has a version Caruso (featuring Jeff Beck) in the album Ti Adoro which is phenomenal too.

[@Pharto_Stinkus]

I grew up listening to Punk, Post Punk, and New Wave. I love Metal (death and black metal are favorites), and Alternative. My whole musical life, is dark, hard-hitting - sometimes vulgar - lyrics, and loud, heavy sonics. And Pavarotti brings me to tears every time. Go figure.

I am a musician, a ROCK musician. I had a girlfriend who couldn't understand why I like opera. One day watching PBS -- I'm from Shetland, but I live in America -- Pavarotti was to be featured. It was a nice spring day in South Florida so I had the front door open. Him doing this "song". I never heard the screen door open and close, too focused on the dude. As I was clapping I head someone else clapping. It was my girlfriend who HATED OPERA, tears in her eyes: "Who is that?" she asked. I told her Pavarotti. She said "I love opera." Of course you do! He is amazing!

As often as I've heard Nessun dorma, by, Pavarotti and countless others, this was so helpful!

[@audibons4]

Thank you for sharing this Beth. I have fond memories of my dad 'singing' along to many famous operas on the weekends. I still have his LP box sets of many famous operas. I think he loved LaBoheme the most with Pavarotti singing of course. If he didn't have the opera he would turn on his stereo receiver and listen to the simulcast of the Met Live from New York. We lived in Chicago and I am not sure if he ever saw Pavarotti live. He saw many operas at the Lyric Opera House in Chicago but whenever Pavarotti was scheduled to appear he would mysteriously cancel at the last minute. This behavior caused him to be banned from the Lyric Opera House by Ardis Kranik the director. As a side note it is nice to see that even in action movies Opera can serve as a backdrop. In Quantum of Solace Daniel Craig attends a performance of Tosca to learn more about a secret organization. In Mission Impossible Ethan Hunt tries to locate a terrorist at a performance of Turandot in Vienna. My dad had a decent voice but didn't know Italian so he just imitated what he heard. It didn't matter to him, I think expression was more important than any language barrier. Opera is very powerful, as any music that touches the heart. Thank you for the analysis and look forward to many more.

[@danieldickson8591]

So much fun to watch Beth go crazy over great singing. 😁

[@rogerknox9147]

In the mid-'70's I heard Pavarotti in recital, performing for an audience that included many trained singers. With a truly great artist on stage, many experts can turn from being critics to being blubbering fanboys and girls, carried away with emotion. After Pav hit a high C it was like a magnetic force dragged everyone to their feet, cheering wildly. Yes raw emotion is a valid part of operatic expression and we need it more than ever now when the art form, beset by cynical revisionism, is having a lot of trouble.

[@riccardoalcaro8483]

Pavarotti was uniquely talented by the real genius here is Giacomo Puccini, the arias from his operas are music from heaven

[@moonlit.michelle]

I love watching videos of Pavaratti (though his performance of Vesti la Guibba from I Pagliacci is my favorite of his) because he isn't just a phenomenal singer, but he's the total package of a performer. He's so in-character with his facial expressions, even in a setting like this one.

[@Pawp6io6jx5i]

[@JohnHF1957]

Beth it is such a pleasure to witness your pure excitement when you analyse one of your favourite performers. One can see in Luciano's expression at the end, that he knows he has surpassed his own superb high standards with that performance. The next best rendition, I think, comes when the majestic three sing this in the encore of this same concert.

[@lifelover515]

Top-notch reaction to a legendary performance. Listen to that audience. Do you think they might agree? Thanks for your insights, Beth. I always learn something from you.

[@Raztiana]

Also worth noting is Pavarotti's breathing during the last "vincerò". How he tops of between "vince" and "rò", so he has enough air to finish air to complete the song the way he wants to. This takes forever to master. ALL operas have silly plots, and the most beautiful songs often have less than impressive lyrics. What's important is not so much the plot or the lyrics, but the emotion you share as a singer. Opera singing seems to be something that either comes naturally to you (still takes a LOT of practice) or it doesn't. I'm one of those, where it simply suits my voice better, and the first time I let go of beliefs of how a teenage girl was supposed to sing, it changed me forever, because it gave me the freedom to express myself. To some it will be unnatural, and it will sound as weird as if I tried to sing gospel. Either is perfectly fine, as long as you embrace your voice as it is, not as you wish it to be.

[@matthewgoodA1206]

An opera piece is nothing if not dramatic. And must be one the most specialized styles of singing of all. As he cuts off the final note, his face is stark with amazement. And then relief washes over him as the power of his own performance has brought the hall to rapture.
