My First Time Hearing Luciano Pavarotti - La Donna È Mobile (Rigoletto) REACTION //WOW!!!

[@sonianordmoe4171]

I am a 69 year old woman. I so appreciate your Channel. Your interest and admiration for Pavarotti are so refreshing. ❤

[@maryawaterbury1305]

Culture is not a bad word. It's a blessing 🙏

[@leslieholland7843]

Pavarotti is just so handsome here, and his beautiful voice! He was a king among men!

[@cherylsyoutubies]

So enjoying your discovery of all the genres of music and your authenticity always shines through.

[@iriscollins7583]

Your reaction is priceless. The young of today are missing so much, I feel sorry for them. Please bring us more of these gems. Thank you.

[@clevelandnative7175]

I love this opera

[@brunocavallo1175]

[@robb9395]

A once in a century voice. You get it!

[@ritavisconti6987]

Il più grande di tutti i tempi. Orgoglio tutto italiano

[@jdw9397]

I want to hear the whole opera now too! Thank you for your great reaction!

[@joeterp5615]

I love Pavarotti and Italian operas like Rigoletto. Watching your face as you enjoyed this was fun. You should go see an opera in-person sometime. Great stories about love, jealously, greed, sacrifice - all told larger-than-life so beautifully. They also show the english translation during performances (just like subtitles on TV). Because you love music and life and react so emotionally to songs, I think you’d really enjoy the experience.

[@Itag0d]

There will never be anyone like him again

[@aarhusguy]

So many props to you, for exploring this music! You, sir, are a man a culture!

[@debbeborders5762]

Very beautiful performance 👏

[@TAP712]

Luciano had an amazing voice!

[@leisastalnaker3790]

Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo all in the same stage. Fantastic! Pavarotti at his beat and the good hearted competition between the tenors. A fun watch. Beautiful music.

[@lms4712]

My grandmother who had immigrated from Italy on a boat here to the US used to play Opera all the time. I remember her making her home made spaghetti as she would speak in Italian & get upset say words such as Madone & Fanculo as her hands would go flying in the air 😂🤣. My mom would play Opera all the time as well, this song here although I don't speak a lick of Italian, I can sing every lyric. It brings back such good memories & I absolutely love your facial expression when he hits those notes. Luciano Pavarotti has a voice that can make anyone feel emotional & you have no idea why. Just because his voice is so beautiful. Thank you for doing this one.

[@karaminalee]

Such a classic! That smile you get when you watch your guy Luciano is my favorite!! 💕

[@korodwyer1270]

Pavorotti my favourite. perfection.

[@dalebaker9109]

He was just the best at what he did. A voice of pure brilliance. Always my favourite type of music. Outstanding

[@TallyDrake]

Rigoletto is my favorite opera. I think you would enjoy the story and the singing in this opera.

[@mushyartuk6045]

Always a good choise to react to pavarotti 👌👌👌👏👏👏

I wish I could subscribe several times to your channel to help you get to 100K. You are truly one of the few people on KZbin whose reactions are worth watching. Your honesty, sincerity, and heartfelt reactions and comments reveal a lot about what kind of man you are. Much respect. God bless.

Your reactions are sublime. Keep exploring young man.💚

[@SueProst]

James. Loved your reaction. You would really enjoy the 3 tenors in Rome 7/7/1990 . The other two are excellent but Luciano is my favorite. I have been waiting for months for 100k for you

[@Giulietta2612]

[@marcdedouvan]

THE FINAL SECS ARE REALLY AWESOME: LIGHTNING BOLT FROM THE MOUTH!

[@LBSmith-oy8wo]

The rest of the world is mesmerized by his voice too!

[@katrinat.3032]

James so glad you're back!! I love your reactions because they're so genuine. If you buy a CD I know CDs are out of style but if you buy a CD of an opera it usually has a booklet in there that will have the Opera in both English and Italian and maybe other languages and then you can read the story and understand the story of what's going on. Just a suggestion

[@katrinat.3032]

I'm going to send you some Opera that you will love

[@freshname]

I just cant's stop watching your videos. Just love your reactions.

[@ImperiusImperia]

This is Luciano at his prime, and this performance was one of his best. Keep with him, go and check "Vesti la Giuba", or "Mama",

Bellissima reazione :)

[@franl155]

This was brilliant - and so was your reaction! loved them both. The power of their voices - especially as, in theatres, they'd have to sing over the orchestra - literally, as the orchestra was between them and the audience Try the Quartet from Rigoletto? - really amazing piece; I first heard this with headphones on, and on that recording, you could hear the voices coming from four different directs, like they were standing all around you. blew me away ps all I know about the words is that the tile means "Women are fickle"; don't need to know even that to love it

[@sharonwilson8208]

I was the person playing the music for the singers! All while listening to Queen, Bon Jovi, The Boss. Carmen is a great opera!

[@johntuohy1867]

Dang! I. dearly dig how ya dug this dude. Thank you.

[@robertjessen1554]

Best reactions on the web bar none ! Fight me !

[@ricewychrij]

I fell in love with this song when Mario Lanza sang it in the film Caruso. He was also Pavarotti's inspiration, as he was really the first major film opera singer back in the 50s. Still love it

[@merrilynhunt7819]

This full opera is on UTube now with English subs. He is wonderful in it.

[@officialmusicfrancescogang2114]

Wowwww, Thanks Jb

[@yeliangarcia4623]

Awesome reaction and good for you! By the way, it is not a play this is an opera production that simply happened to be filmed

[@purpleepicicon]

I watched the full opera with subtitles. I'm usually not a fan of subtitles when hearing music as it can distract, but if I hadn't I wouldn't have understood what was happening at all.

[@cheryljohnson733]

Love Pavarotti!!!! RIP!

[@truus5653]

O, man I would love to go take you to a life opera . I am sure I would enjoy your reaction as much as the opera ha ha ha ha ha LOL

[@danxribeiro]

Hey man, it's really nice to see how much you are enjoying this crazy world of classical music. My grandfather was italian and he introduced me to opera, and specially Pavarotti. If I may say, you should take it one step further and learn Italian. Not only you will continue to appreciate the music, but also the great stories behind those masterpieces!

[@Tuilaione]

Most powerful voices... I felt the same

[@cynthianavarro4316]

Love this performance! Pavarotti in his prime and singing an iconic aria to the hilt. Please react to Leontyne Price singing: Summertime by George Gershwin from the opera Porgy and Bess! It's in English and she's perfect!

[@samhartford8677]

Wow, you got into this. I think the whole opera was at least at some point on KZbin.

[@craftyladybug411]

Please look up Pavarotti with Sting. It’s so powerful and absolutely amazing! Highly recommend!

[@tainteddreams9117]

You should react to Vesti la Giubba, sung by Pavarotti. It's so beautiful and emotional, sure you'll shed tears.

[@bohemiansonata4390]

React to "Una Furtiva Lagrima" (Pavarotti)

[@xtreme_survival7879]

Bro your reactions are priceless.

[@michaeldruce3288]

You are a true music lover. Try the quartet from Rigoletto, Maria Callas singing with Giuseppe de Stefano is probably one of the greatest operatic moments.

[@Raaa1111..]

finally a real reaction video

[@christineantonius4490]

Pavarotti was/IS the very best and to see you watching, loving and reacting to him is a sheer joy. Can’t wait for your next reaction-a different genre but have you ever listened to Christina Perri ‘Jar of Hearts’? Would love to see your reaction to her.

You are special in that you get it and can appreciate other genres of music. You would like Dmitri Hvorovstovsky. He unfortunately died a year or so ago at an early age due to cancer but he is amazing.

[@ShidoLionheart]

One of my favorites pieces

[@MsPea]

Suggestion: Listen to some of the famous Black opera singers--Paul Robeson, Jessye Norman, Lawrence Brownlee, Leontyne Price, Denyce Graves, or J’Nai Bridges are all great opera singers. There's more but these are suggestions for you.

You need to see The 3 Tenors (1990 Rome, Italy) your soul will elevate.

[@cshubs]

Let me add to the list Cecilia Bartoli's version of Vivaldi's Agitata Da Vue Venti. I just rewatched the one on the Opera Planet page. It's stunning, as in, How does she do it kind of stunning.

[@marireed2678]

I'm also 69, and love opera. If you ever watched Bugs Bunny cartoons as a child, you might recognize a lot of classical music bits. On KZbin, I recommend starting with lighter, comical operas like The Barber of Seville, The Marriage of Figaro, The Magic Flute. Also look for English subtitles, they help a lot. Even better, go see an opera live, there is nothing like it.

[@pattya796]

I don’t know where you live, but please seek out opera performances in your city, find your favorite production and treat yourself to a live performance - you will never forget it - ❤️

[@celticpoet21]

As an opera enthusiast myself, I totally agree with you! Alongside Queen, Opera and classical music in general just makes everything better, plus opera is just an invaluable method of storytelling as well! ! In case your wondering, the opera Rigoletto takes place during the 16th century in Mantua, Italy. Pavarotti's character, the Duke of Mantua is the bad guy and an infamous womanizer. Ironically this song describes how women are the fickle/disloyal ones. Rigoletto is the Duke's hunchbacked court jester who has a daughter, whom he is trying to keep hidden/protect from the Duke's philandering clutches and the corrupt court. When his daughter is ultimately abducted, delivered to and seduced by the Duke, Rigoletto ultimately hires an assassin named Sparafucile to get revenge. The assassin's sister helps him. In this scene, its near the end of the opera, the Duke goes to the assassin's house, unaware of who he is. The woman the Duke was kissing is the assassin's sister Maddalena and her job is that she is supposed to entice the Duke and her brother would deliver the killing blow. I won't spoil the rest for you, read the synopsis on your own. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigoletto#Synopsis

Please don't be ashamed to express your emotions. Emotions are what make us human and separate us from the other animals. AND - please see my comment on your video from June 17 2020, where you heard Pavarotti sing "Nessun Dorma" for the first time. You'll thank me later. 😉

[@bpfromowc]

Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" (Spring) is also incredible. Also look into Pavarotti singing Miss Sarajevo, (with Bono from U2) under the name "Passengers".

[@scm021374]

I believe that was from the movie "Yes Georgio" which I think is loosely about his life.

Nice thing about so much classical stuff is it's somewhat less likely to be blocked... James, take a listen to the soprano aria "Queen Of The Night", composed by Mozart. It's just wild.

At the time of his death, Pavarotti has sold 100 MILLION albums - not bad for an "Opera" singer.

So you should expand to the Sopranos. Maria Calis, Montserrat Cabelle, Jessie Norman, Joan Sutherland. The Irish Tennors, and even the Baritone and Bass Singers.
