For anyone wondering about the bit at the end where he looks stuck, that's actually what happened. When Tenors hit a power note, it's difficult for us to let go of the power. Something in the chest doesn't want the resonance to end and tries to hold on. I've experienced it a couple of times, it's like you're wielding a ball of fire. That's why the tenor is always the hero
@gailanderson72177 ай бұрын
It's similar for sopranos. Different than the "o" but your whole body, down to your toes, resonates with those high frequencies and the volume and it's sublime. My very gentlemanly elderly vocal coach, a tenor, once asked very delicately what the high notes feel like for a soprano. He'd always wanted to know but didn't want to offend anyone by asking. I was the only one he dared ask and he approached the subject very carefully. My answer was they're very different sensations but I'd be hard-pressed to choose. He nodded thoughtfully and murmured, "I thought so. I thought so."
@calebmorrow967 ай бұрын
@gailanderson7217 nice! The high frequency of vibrations is why it's so hard for Tenors and Sopranos to hold in to their voice longterm unless you really take good care of it. I'm always impressed when I see someone in their 60s still going strong

Those last two notes he definitely gets stuck between, and he almost breaks in between, but somehow, magically, that is *just perfect* with the orchestra, despite the fact there is no way for the conductor to pre-empt exactly when he’d go, especially as an orchestra plays slightly behind the conductor, and we got one of the best performances of all time.

The 1st time that I met him I was 14. Right after rehearsal we went and got Haagen Dazs ice cream--hahaha!! He wanted to "soothe" his throat. I was in a Boy Choir at the time and asked him about the ice cream. He said," HOT before singing and COLD after singing. Always. Got it? Good Boy. " I will never forget that exchange--hahaha. He was so cool and casual. He loved my grandmother (who just passed on November 18th 2023 at age 89). To me, he was a kind man first & THEN the greatest operatic 2nd Tenor EVER!

When he was 10, he earned money doing odd jobs around the neighborhood, and spent his money for 2 tickets for he and I to go see Madam Butterfly- an opera. Well, he's in his 40's now, and lived out his dream to be a DJ. He plays an opera piece at every gig, especially for weddings. Pavarotti is his fav. Enrico Caruso was the opera singer I most remember from childhood, from my grandmother's collection of old 78rpm records. I asked her to play his music every time I visited her house.

Ohh, buddy, boy would you be wrong. Check the lyrics in the song again. "No one will learn his name, and alas we all must die." Little context for you for this particular aria (song). The Princess, Turandot, not wishing to agree to an arranged marriage, sets a series of riddles. Anyone wishing to marry her, must answer them, if they fail, she executes them. The singer, Calaf (Here played by Pavarotti), not only answers the riddles, but does the Princess one better. "Find my name before dawn," he says, "And you may have my head." Turandot swears that "None shall sleep!" (Nessun Dorma), and that, unless his name is revealed ere the dawn, her citizens will pay the forfeit with their lives. Calaf replies with this song, smug and sure, that none shall discover his name, until he whispers it on Turandot's lips come morning. Death in Opera is totes a thing

It was from the opera Turandot by Giacomo Puccini and this piece is one of the most recognized by the world and Luciano made it his own! He was fantastic and one of this world’s greatest tenors ever. You should look into more of the 3 tenors concerts they were epic!

Whenever I watch this I get chills!! I also wonder what he's staring at so intently.? We all know he knows the words already. I like to think that he's staring at an Angel telling him 'You've got this!'. He has a voice sent from Heaven above ❤!

He knocked it out the park, and knew it. 20 minute ovation after this, and the coolest thing, Pavarotti was not full of himself. He was seriously the nicest guy among men ever. RIP. I grew up listening to him, and Earth, Wind and Fire, and Social Distortion, and Public Enemy…I love music.

The greatest. Luciano passed away in 2007, at the age of 71, to pancreatic cancer. He sang this song at the opening ceremony of the 2006 Winter Olympics in Italy. RIP Luciano. They have used 'Nessun Dorma' in a lot of movies. Especially, gangster movies. Watch the video of the 3 Tenors concert in L. A. in 1994. You will hear so much great music. He was known as the 'King of High C'. In one concert he held that final note for 18 seconds. The opera is Turandot.

I adore Puccini and this is my favorite aria performed by my favorite tenor. It is opera and you should dive in. It’s an incredible genre of music. Prepare to be moved. 🥲🥰 Next you should try Maria Callas singing Puccini’s “O mio babbino caro.” She is also a legend.

Kiri Te Kanawa - New Zealand opera star, does a lovely rendition of "O Mio...", also. For BP - this song was "made mainstream famous" when it was used as the opening song to the movie "A Room With a View." For fun listen to the "serious" version, then go listen to awesome kid ventriloquist, Darcy Lynn, have "her puppet" Petunia sing it. It will BLOW YOUR MIND.

@@rubyslippers8215 Thanks, Ruby Slippers. I will definitely give that a listen. 🎧 I listened to this rendition (kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIPYioRvgLd9o9Usi=BczXv_65RN6jgavs) and got too many feels. My goodness, the clarity of her voice is incredible. I loved it. Thanks for the recommendation!

@romanoperelli70187 ай бұрын
The piece is hundred years old (premiered in 1924). Puccini's Turandot, from which "Nessun dorma" is taken, is one of the latest great Italian operas, a classical genre who has it roots in early 17Th century. The power in Pavarotti's voice in his prime was simply otherworldly.

Opera is a genre for all people, whether or not they realize it. You are 100% right that the emotions come through the music and you can feel the meaning, even without knowing the language. Freddie Mercury (of Queen) was an opera lover and a huge fan of Montserrat Caballe, a Spanish opera star. He wrote operatic music to perform with her & if you want to experience a stunning performance, check out their performance of "Barcelona".

I cry every time I hear this. I'm almost 70 years old and when I was young and singing opera with the Arizona upper company, I loved listening to Pavarotti. He was so amazing. He was so sexy. I was so sad when he died. He was one of the greatest tenors of all time.

One time when Pavarotti couldn't perform at the Grammys, Aretha Franklin took over. She had to sing in his key and basically do it without rehearsal. It gives me goosebumps even more so than him singing it the traditional way. Check it out when you get a chance

Thank you for the reaction! Small correction this isn’t Pavarotti’s song but it’s part of the Turandot an opera from Giacomo Puccini (an incredible Italian composer). Also Pavarotti voice really is one of a kind, he used to do this on any regular Tuesday ❤
