Luciano Pavarotti Nessun Dorma Reaction | This Is Insane!

[@beegee1960]

I don’t understand a single word, but I tear up every time I hear it. His voice just pierces your body and soul. It takes years of study and training to be able to do that.

[@monl28]

The words are the best part! It's about a princess who has a contest to choose a husband. They must guess her name to win her. If they guess wrong, they're executed. This song is by an optimistic suitor who wants everyone to stay up all night and help him come up with the correct name. Nessun dorma means 'none shall sleep'. It seems that so many beautiful songs have such silly lyrics, they don't bother translating. Our imaginations work better for such songs.

[@john34199143]

@Alice Soefje If you'd understand it, as @Mon L said, you'd cry and emotion even more.

[@ChiaraVet]

@@monl28 uhm, no, actually, Nessun dorma is the opening song of the third act. In this the mysterious suitor Calaf has already won the contest, and since the princess doesn´t want to marry him, he offers her a way out of it by having her guess his name: she has time until the next dawn. But nobody seems to know who this guy is! So the princess orders that nobody that night shall sleep until they´ve found out who he is. He, meanwhile, sure of his victory, sings this song, saying that nobody will be able to guess his identity and therefore as soon as the sun rises he will win.

Thank you for not pausing the performance. Your reaction was terrific! Pavarotti was an absolutely great talent. A voice touched by God.

[@marireed2678]

I fell in love with Luciano Pavarotti over 40 years ago and have been addicted to opera ever since. The English lyrics to this song are beautiful, I trust you have looked them up by now. This is the 2nd concert with the 3 Tenors, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras and Pavarotti. The first concert they performed together was at Caracalla, and ancient ruin in Rome, whereby chance they sang under a full moon. Now I'm a diehard opera fan and have been fortunate enough to attend many performances in Seattle. I recommend starting with more lighthearted operas like The Barber of Seville, The Magic Flute, The Marriage of Figaro, then go on to Carmen, LaTraviata, Madame Butterfly, etc., and they all come with English subtitles on a screen above the stage. ENJOY

You pronounced it right! It's hard at first so you did well. This tenor has a voice from heaven. Brilliantly the best tenor in all time. Luciano Pavarotti is the finest singer who every lived. Bravo 👏

[@raenellefisher8514]

I have a musician friend who played cello when Placido Domingo sang in La Traviata, an opera by Verdi. I asked him, after watching Freddie Mercury sing with Monserrat Caballe, if Freddie with lots of training could have made it in opera. He acknowledged Freddie's immense gifts, but opera is a whole other level. Basically, he said that if Freddie had started training when he was 10, and trained for 20 years, he might have been able to make it in the chorus.

[@mzytryck]

What always blows me away about Pavarotti is how anyone can tell, just from the first note, how brilliant his voice is. Every single reaction video I've seen (and I'm slightly addicted to them) has had that "whoa" from the second he opens his mouth. Something about the power, beauty and control he will go on to show throughout the song is audible immediately, even if (like me) your ear is totally untrained. For him to start from such a high point, and then just keep escalating, is truly astonishing.

[@jonathanocallaghan9202]

[@yes2day100]

"No one sleeps" is what 'nessun dorma' means. Saw him live at the NYC Met Opera in 1994 in Leoncavallo's Pagliacci. His acting was supreme, and his singing was out of this world. He was so magical, and it wasn't even him at his "peak". (Supposedly he was at his best in the late '70s and early '80s when there is very little film or recording evidence, unfortunately. There is some out there, though, and you should go listen to it. It will astound you.) Please watch the video of him singing 'Cesti La Giubba' from Pagliacci - "put on the vestments" (of a clown.) It is incredible, and available on KZbin. His acting plus voice will break your heart, and the quality of the video is outstanding. The thing about Luciano as he got older - his soul and his life experiences seemed to leak into his voice (he lived life to its fullest and had many heartbreaks and challenges), and he literally could break hearts with his voice, even as fine-eared technical experts pooh-poohed a little, as his whole voice and persona gave way to a flood of recognizable humanity. At the end of Nessun Dorma, he sings "I will win. I will win. I will win." He sure did!!! Even if you don't want to do reviews of the videos I've suggested, I think you would truly enjoy viewing them (they aren't very long; arias are short because they are so demanding of the singer, and were composed to sing live) and it will help you understand the man and, perhaps more importantly - the music - at a deeper level. It was Pavarotti's passion to bring opera to the people, and it will enrich your life. I promise.

[@irishfergal]

Hi Jarrett: You pronounced every Italian word perfectly!!! I appreciate that you resisted interrupting Luciano. Thanks for this exquisite response. Luciano is an angel.

[@leesher1845]

You have such a nice speaking voice you could be a light jazz or late night R&B love songs DJ. Nessun Dorma was written by a conductor named Puccini who lived in the mid-late 1800s and into the early 1920s. You were wise not to pause anywhere throughout the piece. It’s a masterpiece that deserves to be listened to without any interruptions. ❤️

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!...

You just experience the voice of the BEST opera singer in modern history. Period. Master Pavarotti makes you feel every inch of emotion every time. An opera song is called an "aria" and they are usually composse in italian because most compossers preffer it or where from Italy. Please don´t let it be your last opera reaction, it is an incredible world. Most reactor only make this one, but theres so much more, please keep the opera reactions as well as any other. I can recommend you by Luciano Pavaroti his version of "Vesti la Giuba", "La Donna e mobile" or "Ave Maria". And also the "Three Tenors" version of "O Sole Mio" that one is hilarius, and beatuful at the same time, and you have the best, Master Luciano Pavatori, Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras sing this one aria. I hope you make them some day.

Since most operas are in Italian or French you can googled how to pronounce names and titles, in the foreign language of your choice. Pavarotti's Ave Maria--- when he was young, singing it to the Pope as well as later in life.... the Three Tenors is fun too Keep it up, I truly enjoy you.

Thank you for your reaction to this masterpiece of a performance. Thank you also for your recognition of the other musicians and particularly the composer. No composer, no song. I've watched many of the reaction videos to this performance. As I've told others, I first heard this long ago and, although I never get tired of the song or this performance, it's so very satisfying to watch the reactors hearing it for the first time. I wonder what Puccini's reaction would be watching you and others hearing his masterpiece performed so brilliantly.

I too think it cool that LP sang with quite a number of singers out of his genre. I've seen several of those and enjoyed them. I saw him with James Brown, wow, what a combination. They did JB's "It's a Man's World". Stunning! He also sang "Too Much Love Will Kill You" with Brian May. I think it is great that LP was willing to bring opera to the masses in a way we can relate to. No matter what he sings it becomes opera. He can't help it it is who he is and it's great. I would love to have seen Luciano Pavarotti sing with Freddie Mercury. Freddie loved the opera world, all the costumes, gorgeous music, and dramatics. What is not FM about that? FM did sing a whole album with Monsaratt Caballe, famous Spanish opera star. Freddie admired her so much and loved the opportunity to sing with her. There are several videos of them singing songs from their album "Barcelona" available online. Check them out if you like goosebumps.

One thing that's easy to forget in the flow of music is that this is also just as much an athletic performance as any Olympic gymnast. Every movement of the lips, tongue, jaw, neck, and body is deliberate and practiced for a lifetime. Each breath is planned and executed to fit the needs of the next phrase and is sometimes used to swell a note up or down. This isn't raw talent you're hearing. It's the result of years of learning and practice. Pavarotti sang like an F1 rider drives a motorcycle - flawless and so smooth it looks easy.

[@J_Gamble]

Yes, generally sung in the language written--Italian here--although in the past it wasn't uncommon to perform them in translation. Opera was an Italian art form first, so of course many of the most famous operas are in Italian. then then spread throughout Europe and more languages, including English. Live performances now have supertitle translations of the words (the "libretto") overhead. I find it distracting from the performance on stage, though. I'd rather read a synopsis and then just sink into the experience of the sound and mastery.

[@hamletksquid2702]

I agree, having the lyrics onscreen doesn't help. Opera isn't about the words, it's about the sounds they make, and the lyrics tend not to be any sort of great literature. You don't need to know what "vincero" means to hear the triumph in Pavarotti's voice.
