It's OperAAAAAA | Luciano Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma (The Three Tenors in Concert 1994) [REACTION]

Luciano's voice and presence are beyond transcendent. But lets also give Puccini a little credit here for writing a masterpiece for the ages.

I was at this concert. It was in Dodger Stadium. Hollywood built a multi million dollar set at center field wall and they put seats on the entire grass. There were probably 75,000 people there. Listen to the applause. Front row was all the movie stars, Sinatra senators, the super wealthy from all over the world etc etc. It was the night before the World Cup Soccer finals at the Rose Bowl so it was an international audience . The LA philharmonic orchestra and chorus and Zubie were there. Pavarotti was the star of the show. It was the Three Tenors Concert before every World Cup . Placido Domingo , and Jose Carreras. But no one has/had a voice like Pavarotti. It is on DVD and worth the buy.

I'm also a tenor (obviously nowhere NEAR Pavarotti) and every time I hear his voice it's like the rest of the world just melts away.

Hi. V here. In the early '90s as an African-American kid growing up in the inner city of St. Louis, MO I was a music fiend. I played trumpet in high school, honors music, jazz band and drum corps. I slept, drank, ate and woke up with music. Now, secretly I was in love with opera and I was in love with the master Luciano Pavarotti. I have the original PBS VHS tape of the first Three Tenors concern with conductor Zubin Mehta. You made a mistake when played this version. You need to REACT to the ORIGINAL CONCERT VERSION. This one was okay, but that's after 3 years of wear and tear on a world class throat from master classes and concerts and operas!! And he had been singing long before that. Fun fact: Pavarotti and me were both janitors before!!! Anyway, take it from me Ms. Lovely that you want to hear the first Three Tenors version. And next time don't bail out!

[@thefobbieii2888]

The aria is from the Opera Tarundot by Italian composer Puccini. The opera is based on the story set in China about a beautiful BUT cold Princess Tarundot, daughter of Emperor Altoum, who has decreed that she will only marry if a suitor of noble blood can answer her 3 riddles! The catch is that there is a price to pay - if the suitor cannot answer all the 3 riddles correctly he will lose his head - beheaded! Then comes along this Persian Prince Calaf who falls in love with Princess Tarundot at first sight and wants to marry her. Calaf is one of three suitors for the picky Princess Turandot. Calaf passes the test by answering the 3 riddles correctly and wins Princess Tarundot hand in marriage but she refuses to marry him! As a weird sort of challenge, Calaf offers the Princess a way out that if Turandot can correctly guess his name, she may execute him but if she can’t, then she must marry him! The Princess accepts the challenge and decides that ‘Nobody to sleep’ (the literal translation of ‘Nessun dorma’) in the entire kingdom until Calaf’s name is discovered. If none of her subjects are able to come up with the correct name, all of them will be executed. The aria begins with Turandot’s proclamation that ‘Nobody to sleep’, and that’s where the tenor, Calaf, picks it up. The aria "Nessum Dorma" is sung in the third and final act as the sun is about to rise. The words "Nessum Dorma" means in latin 'nobody to sleep' and is a song that is sung by Calaf as he faces the possibility of death but in hope that he will win this challenge as his secret is with him! The last words of the aria is ...."All’alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!"... which means ...."at dawn I will win, I will win, I will win!".... I saw Pavarotti in concert in 1991 and he sang this aria - he literally woos you!

I worked for the Michigan Opera Theatre back in the mid-80's. The company sponsored his performances when he would perform in Detroit at the Fisher Theater allowing my co-workers and I occasions to hang out with him when he would visit the offices between show rehearsals. This man is one of the coolest cats around. He was a big, jolly, larger than life, teddy bear who was always making everyone laugh and you certainly knew he was in the office even before you saw him. His personality was such that I guarantee he was always the life of the party wherever he went. One of the perks working for the company was the free use of unsold seating. During one of his performances, I got to sit main floor, center stage, 6th row back. A dream seat, for sure. While hearing him do his thing, my opinion was that you didn't even need to be an opera buff to know this man was a god in the world of musical arts. He gave his audience 1000%, but made it look so easy. One of the peculiarities of his performances was that a narrator would announce the song, Luciano would come onstage, absolutely kill it, then he would disappear offstage for about 10-15 minutes while the orchestra played. This would happen about 5 times before he concluded the performance. I now know he was just protecting his voice, but at the time I was like "Wait, is it over already"?🤔 Even though I only got to interact with him about 3 times, I was greatly saddened by his death, as were many others.

This performance by Luciano Pavarotti is insane. I love it. RogueRxyce the tone of your voice is so beautiful.

[@cristosanto815]

Puccini's masterpiece plus Pavarotti voice is the meaning of life explained through sound waves.. and if you understand the lyric as well the goose bumps will make you cry. Nice reaction, I like this woman! Ciao ciao Bella!

[@PeggyTudor]

It's pure love from Heaven we are all so blessed to hear this angelic voice

[@keithmoffett3730]

Truly no better voice on this planet. I witnessed his greatness a few years before his death at what was the American Airlines Center in Dallas Texas in the early 2000s. I just can’t get over how special he is. The man was a gift from heaven.

[@simonthomas210]

Mindblowing.the greatest piece of music ever performed in history by the greatest tenor that ever lived

[@tombstone1970]

to this day..years after his passing..i still cry to this...he was one if not the best....the world lost a great voice...but as long as his music exists and is heard by future generations...he will never be gone

[@evdanker]

Not just a beautiful voice, but also one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed.

[@gerryS320]

s.t.u.p.i.d what you telling

[@stephanymurdy3165]

Written in 1917 by Puccini, the opera “Turandot”, includes the aria “Nessun Dorma”. It is based on a 12th century poem. The opera is about a Chinese Princess and her ardent suitors. Look it up to get the plot and get the English translation to the aria. No one can compare to Pavarotti in this classic opera…..leaves me in tears every time, especially now that Pavarotti has passed on. 😢❤

[@blanebostock]

It brings me JOY to see you hearing this MIRACLE for the first time. There is hope for humanity. LOVE you sister!

[@leedavies4589]

nobody will ever sing this better than Luciano Pavarotti

[@daveosland3199]

You understand why Pavarotti is celebrated as the greatest tenor ever to grace the earth.....

[@martinconnors5195]

The first time I heard this song, it was at the 1990 World Cup Finals in Italy. Only the Italians can take Opera and turn it a work of art/masterpiece. If this doesn't make you shed a tear, I don't know what would. I'm a man in my late 30s, and this song brings a tear to my eyes. Now I see why the Italians are so passionate and they gesticulate.

[@BillYovino]

I saw him live at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York a few times. His voice was so powerful that you could feel the sound waves hitting your chest. They don't use microphones or amplification at the Met. He had a once every hundred years voice.

[@manricobianchini5276]

Pavarotti was in a class by himself. Just discovered you, Rogue. Absolutely beautiful!

[@daveweir2292]

They called him the King of the High C's for a reason. 😉 My heart swells at the crescendo.

[@remyasmar418]

Pavarotti once said of his own voice as a kiss from God and I agree. There will only be one Luciano Pavarotti like there will only be one Shirley Bassey !!

[@MrKarahmya]

His face in the last note as he saw God himself! ❤

[@beaumontmuni4294]

Pavarotti is amazing. The man personifies Opera. Did you see that reaction at the end when he lets go of that last note as if he just projected his energy, his body just shook, wow, and then his facial expression when he was done.OMG! wow. The power of the human voice the frequency created to elevate everyone's vibration. That's a divine gift from an artist to his audience. Thanks for the reaction, that was great!

[@katayfa]

Another one that always makes me cry. I cant help it . My eyes always water, and the tears roll down my face no matter where I am.

[@bayflowshow65]

I miss Pavarotti❤ I’m so blessed to see young people like you sharing his work. 🙏🏽 Thank you.

[@ronytheking7905]

Goosebumbs and tears everytime i listen to this live performance

[@johnelliott2364]

The greatest Tenor that ever lived!

[@dancefloor9032]

He wasn't no, he only sang in Italian, so he could only sing 18 operas. Just listen to Fritz Wunderlich. Greetings from Heidelberg / Germany

[@juttalangenecker5295]

NOOOO Mario Lanza !...google

[@leonardodavinci2218]

Pavarotti is the best of all time. He is powerfull lyric tenor. Mario Lanza is poor (fake) dramatic tenor. Wunderlich is normal (ordinary) tenor.

[@juttalangenecker5295]

@@leonardodavinci2218 not a fake...google his life!!!

[@georgeschafer53]

Yes, Pavarotti was great, but even he knew and acknowledged that he came in second in comparison to Jussi Bjorling. When asked to compare himself to Bjorling, Pavarotti replied: "How can I do that, I am only a man".

[@Zenobiadream]

He truly is an icon. He was best friends with the great Aretha Franklin. May they rest in peace

[@Zenobiadream]

@Marie Whitbread they were friends. And how would you know. Stop being a joy kill. Go away troll

[@Nello353]

There are at least an infinite number of praises about Pavarotti, his voice and especially this aria , but one I will never forget is from a colored woman watching for the first time, she said “ I didn’t understand a word he sang,but he made me cry “ ,and that was the power of Pavoratti.

[@Dr.Morticia]

You are young and it is so wonderful, as a 51-year-old woman, to see a Sister feel the same emotion and joy that Il Maestro brought to millions. He leveled concert halls worldwide with this aria from "Turandot" by Puccini. It has been a part of my soul ever since I heard it as a little girl and it left me in tears. I didn't know why I was crying, but I knew the joy. There will never be another Luciano, Il Maestro. I am so glad his voice moved you. Cheers and Blessed Be.

[@antoniomarin3300]

I love your reactions, pure joy, good feelings. Your smile lightens de room. Don't change

[@RogueRxyce]

🙏🏽

[@heydon2012]

This was used as the anthem for the World Cup in Italy 1990 and it went to number 1 in the charts here in the uk , the concert you see there is from the World Cup concert of 1990

[@josephlovinsky8307]

Luciano Pavarotti was the G.O.A.T. ! I’ve heard this over 100 times and it still makes me feel extremely emotional. I love seeing someone ‘s reaction to hearing this for their fist time. Your reactions were priceless!

[@18giarr5occo]

You can hear this Song for many time and fill the same emotion.

[@rubenanthonymartinez7034]

It's called emotional resonance! It's part of the human species a gift from God! your reaction is priceless 💥

[@notsousual2938]

The power in Luciano Pavarotti's voice quite literally blows wigs clean off.

[@melvisroberts3715]

If you get a chance to attend the opera please do so, their voices fill the room. I saw pavarotti and it truly was awe inspiring

[@MDP673NJ1]

Luciano was the greatest tenor and opera singer of all time. His power smooth but at the same time delicate voice is unmatched...nothing more relaxing than listening to him

[@sucadhalberga2765]

Hey young lady, I love watching everyone's expression when Luciano hits those final two "Vincera' " notes, I could tell by that gigantic smile on your face that you thought he had already done the most difficult notes in the verse prior to the choir break. It is priceless the way it catches every real first-time reactor exactly the same way. Like someone just fed your soul the best dessert ever.

[@jamesobryant5638]

My daddy loved a lot of different music but he loved to put an Luciano Pavarotti and listen to him not knowing what was being said.now after my daddy died in 93 I still listen to him ❤️
