Virtuoso - Star trek

Doctor singing opera

[@WKYanks]

I gets me every time when Janeway wipes her tears away...

[@sparkevpilot]

Dale Sexton Same here, that always gets me. I think it's the only time we ever see her cry in the entire show.

[@vivalawholesome3483]

@@sparkevpilot, Im pretty sure we see her cry twice, possibly more, in the episode where she dies and see's her funeral, she cries when Harry Kim talks about her.

[@TK-867]

@@vivalawholesome3483 Yep. She also cries when the delusional guy that thought she was his daughter died.

[@temporaneo617]

Seeing the faces of the aliens not appreciating this performance full of passion and love is really heart-wrenching

[@toreadum8ass]

They're a snotty, arrogant culture who treats any beings which possess less advanced technology than theirs as inferior and backwards. They treated the Doctor like crap before he started singing in their presence, and their only interest in music stems from its mathematical components, with no appreciation of the artful expression, the strong emotion, and the rich history behind the songs the Doctor sang. They are the very definition of 'xeno scum'.

[@xlDeathlxJosey]

@@toreadum8ass it wasn't just the mathematics of music that interested them because when others sang they didn't care. It was more about a hologram which is made of complex mathematics singing. It was really the doctors programming and ability to sing that amazed them the most because it is a technological wonder that they had never seen.

[@axebeard7677]

I have this episode in my consideration for one of the top 10 best episodes of all time. Almost made me cry when 7 of 9 gave the Doctor fan mail. She's so beautiful.

[@walterrocconi308]

so true, I can't stop crying every time I see that scene with Seven and the Doctor

[@dogchrist]

Under the eaves of the old tower, as the almond tree blossoms, a friendly swallow has returned. Every year she returns, always in the same day. She crosses mountains and sea to get back here. Only love flees and does not return. It makes you hope in vain, but it does not return. It makes you hope in vain, but it does not return. everytime he says he lacks the ability to sing the song she wrote, i cry, this episode is so fucking beautiful. God damn it.

[@bbb-ks3mr]

Did you make that up or is that the direct translation of the song? Either way, it's very good : )

[@RoonMian]

@@bbb-ks3mr It's the translation of the first verse. The song is called "rondine al nido" by Vincenzo de Crescenzo, look it up.

[@Clonetrooperkev]

If I were to name my two favorite actors from Voyager, one of them would have to be Picardo. What a solid performance in almost every episode. He's probably one of the great Trek characters too. With Spock, Data, Quark, Odo, and many others.

[@Nicholas_Steel]

Picardo also got some neat action sequences in the episode where Janeway was kidnapped and he was secretly acting as her on Voyager to save her life.

[@darwinsape9901]

Great acting by Robert Picardo miming to the great voice of Tenor Agostino Castagnola. Such good work and what a voice - a really good episode.... watch it folks!

[@canadianliving1]

I read that this was one of the lowest ranked episodes of the series... but I loved it! I don't follow the crowd a lot of the time :)

[@davidolvera1031]

Star trek even predicted volaloid.

[@jayt1402]

In this episode, the doctor did magic y singing this so naturally and with so much feelings. I actually liked this better than the one Pavarottii did. Thank you Star Trek Voyager, I enjoy it every time.

[@mart270]

This is the best voyager the doctor at his best, this song sends shivers down the spine.

[@jennott1703]

I love his voice!

[@semitar6]

This actually wasnt him, he tried but couldnt get it quite right so they brought in a opera singer to do the actual recording.

[@TheInfoBlast]

Yep, ADR

[@Vhailor_Mithras]

Actually, he is the recording. Singing straight from the ships records 😏

[@TheInfoBlast]

Vhailor Mithras nope

[@jcarolm1]

i was almost crying during this song and janeway was also

[@JohnPC00]

Almost? Let the tears flow.

[@LouisianaMan54]

As a life long musician I think Robert Picardo sang this beautifully. Vocal musicians may differ I don't really know as I don't have vocal training. I do feel I know music though, and I enjoy listening to him sing operatic pieces immensely. I wish he would record an Operatic CD. I'd be first in line to buy it.

[@LeonardoSantoro64]

The voice belongs to the famous Italian tenor Agostino Castagnola

[@WKYanks]

+Leonardo Santoro Thank you, I was going to ask that question.

[@omidsarmad]

@TheEngraver Picardo sang most of the songs in the show, except for this one. This is actually Agostino Castagnola

[@clifforddalton3067]

Shivers up and down my spine.

[@AngelSebastianLeon]

I like this episode, it was as if the producers had said "Hey, Picardo can sing, why didn't we use his talent yet?".

[@1198g]

This Opera is called "Rondine Al Nido" He sings it beautifully.

[@Mannyyyyy]

Best Star Trek moment ever...!

[@Gallifreygirl07]

He should so have done an album! This song gives me shivers!

[@ISwimForChrist]

@jacksawild Yes- Rondine al Nido by Vincenzo de Crescenzo. It's a beautiful piece of early 20th century music. Pavarotti used it as part of his standard repertoire for a while. I think it's one of the related videos. We talked about it in my Vocal Literature class and I almost died when I realized I had heard it on Voyager, it was a good day :-).

[@UncleRuckuss]

They should have had Neelix and Chakotay sing too in this episode, the three of them could have been like the three tenors and sing popular opera songs...

[@maureenm8462]

I would like to know if the tenner who lent his voice ever recorded this song because it's so beautiful

[@maureenm8462]

sorry tenor

[@Seattle206723]

Nothing like the Doctor :) the best clip was when he was handing out those singing images on the ship in this episode. :)

[@TheSteveMAD]

Thank you for the information - I was looking for the title of the song for a long time and couldn't find it !! I love this song!

[@vskbadcrc]

Yes.

[@ChronoXShadow]

Despite letting his ego get the better of him, the Doc deserved better. Screw these 'higher intelligence' beings.

[@LeonardoSantoro64]

However, I think Robert Picardo is perfectly able to sing it in the same way

[@philbertchow5425]

You can tell when RP sings. Nice voice but not a pro singer.

[@evilhazza]

I don't care who sang the song, its simply beautiful, i'm glad a show like ST voyager included it :)

[@RhysticOne]

He did not sing this, he said in an interview.

[@omidsarmad]

@prudence00 No, this is Agostino Castagnola

[@LaurAgony]

This was my favorite part...

[@TheRealThunder]

Regardless of who sang this specific song, it's a really nice tune. And in any other scene involving the Doctor singing, Robert Picardo does a great job at it.

[@galemann]

@Hovwov It's the Season 6 Episode 13 called "virtuso" if memory serves me right.., an ok episode with great acting from Picardo.. i could almost feel his heart break in this one.., :)

[@Justme1635438]

Very nice :)

[@galemann]

FANTASTISK!!!!!!

[@galemann]

@adam0072 Robert Picardo sing this himself. He's a truly great actor, and good singer also! I remember i was pretty skeptic when he took on the role as new commander of the Stargate Atlantis base, but once again he did a great acting performance. :)

[@philbertchow5425]

Galemann No.

[@1TheNews]

Another great episode. So sad about the doctor's aspirations.

[@20callenderslady]

This song is beautiful, and can move me to tear, as do some of the comments made here. Wonderful music and aggressive comments don't mix well.

[@user-ug9gv7bw9b]

Thx 4 share

[@aaronknight1430]

Very nice singing uss voyager doctor

[@ISwimForChrist]

This song has only ever been performed by six people; Luciano Pavarotti being the most famous. However, Robert Picardo is one of the six. If you watch Grease, John Travolta does not sound at all like himself while singing Grease Lightning. Likewise, people adopt very different colors and timbres while singing, especially art song. Robert Picardo studied music for years and in most of The Doctor's songs he does not really perform- he just sings; this is him at his best but it is, in fact, him.

[@philbertchow5425]

ISwimForChrist No.

[@jmbwithcats]

O Soave Fanciulla from "La Boheme"

[@monicaprometti564]

the singer is not Robert Picardo,,, the voice, I'm almost sure, is of Pavarotti

[@Nanicha2007]

Monica Prometti maybe because he's an actor, not the... (how it names))))))))

[@nanomage]

As has been mentioned elsewhere in this comment section the voice belongs to Agostino Castagnola, an Italian tenor (amongst other things) who served as Picardo's voice double for this episode. Italy has a lot of great singers with more coming along every year, products of their prestigious muscial colleges.

[@RoonMian]

No. "Rondine al nido" or "the swallow's nest" by Vincenzo de Crescenzo.

[@Rhapsodyas]

totally love him

[@RobNKe54]

indeed

[@LaurAgony]

@Hovwov its in seson 6 but i forgot

[@Karekter1605]

Opened my mind to Opera.... and then I discovered Netrebko!

@omidsarmad thx

@olegalemann thx im downloaded

[@jamilpanni]

@mauriciomille From the comments it looks like Agostino Castagnola.

[@jamilpanni]

@jamilpanni oh... Agostino Castagnola?

[@ttoyuhoer7464]

I'am so sad

[@SlatheTheSpaceMarine]

Is this like the 5th Element Opera scene - but in Voyager?

@olegalemann Nice presentation but was excluded thing that this issue would be her voice. Likely cut by the sound, but I am curious who owns a sound and wonder where can I find the whole length of the code.:) (sorry for spelling and grammatical errors made ​​by the google translation of the text)

[@galemann]

Ok i se from below comments now that maybe picardo didn't sing this song! To be honest im not sure, but it sure sounds like him though. i've download a bunch of Rondana Al Nida versions looking for this one, but never found it. only different versions from various opera singers. Nonetheless.. NO ONE COMES CLOSE to this star trek version! It's just wonderful..,

[@omidsarmad]

@adam0072 Agostino Castagnola

@olegalemann thx man but this perfomances one artis sing. Who is he? im search the soundtrack but not find.

[@jamilpanni]

It is sung by Picardo himself in playback, but it is him.

[@mauriciomille]

@jamilpanni whom belong the voice???...

[@sh-ig9fm]

you should upload the the doctor that has the enhanced vocal capabilities its after this ciene

[@jimfife6255]

I keep looking for Bugs Bunny

[@HanakoFairhall]

For some reason I thought Mr. Picardo was an Opera Singer, I know he has established himself as having singing talent, maybe I misheard or just got confused o_o

[@ttoyuhoer7464]

Quien después de 12 años 😔

[@galemann]

@adam0072 Like i said.., I dont know exactely who sings this song, so if you want this version.., Download youtubedownloader etc and rip the song..., i've searched the internet for this version alot, but find only crappy versions from various opera singers.., so if you want this beautiful piece of music.., Then download "youtube downloader" etc, and rip it for yourself.., it's easy..,

[@Deovera94]

Picardo sings his own songs.

[@semitar6]

Does anyone know what season this was?

@olegalemann hello what is the name of that song and the artrist in real? thx

[@tombaker1222]

@TheReasonWhyGuy I don't think it's his voice.

[@Hovwov]

Which eps. is this?

[@MedalionDS9]

Meh... that was ok... now that Doc afterwards... What a fucking range!!!!!! :D

[@gothicvampire2983]

The Doctor has a beautiful voice

[@LutzDerLurch]

Does anybody know who performs the Song here here, or is it Robert Picardo himself singing?

[@LadyTink]

can Robert Picardo really sing this well O.O I've heard him sing, but not opera like this... :)

[@philbertchow5425]

The Reason Why Guy Not him.

[@grandebon]

hi friend! Napoleon was French ! This wonderful aria is italian ! Italian is not the language of Napoleon at all! But it is the language of the Arts !

[@Hovwov]

Which esp. is this?

[@AlanMcCarthyguitar]

what is name of the song ? it is so beautiful

[@RoonMian]

"rondine al nido" by Vincenzo de Crescenzo

[@killbunniesdead]

according to his IMDB page he sung "I've Been Working on the Railroad", "Dio, che nell'alma infondere", "That Old Black Magic", and "Rondine al nido"

[@InsaneTreefrog]

You think the aliens translated it, or listened in Italian?

[@semitar6]

I dont care who you are..thats funny.

[@vskbadcrc]

Heh, I find it funny that the universal translators don't seem to function when they choose not to. Wouldn't they translate the lyrics into english?

who singing in fact?

@olegalemann yah go german!

[@galemann]

@adam0072 Yeah, sorry dude.., I did not understand anything of that!! Get some people you know to translate for you man so i can understand what you're saying!! >;)

[@Zuckerpuppekopf]

A voice double for an actor, think of that. At least the dubbing is passable.

[@WithmeVerissimusWhostoned]

Rondine al nidofile

[@Glenn7719]

Love the way how the audience are so unappreciative of this masterpiece. And then she comes out with her own composition, which is absolute tosh. Turns out, that's exactly how a lot of music is nowadays, rubbish.

[@meenksellaan1]

You shure? I think that it's the use again of that machine, you make a mans voice better and at the end only 10% of the sound is the real voice of that man....

[@DaveSimonH]

"it's a dubb voice over. trust me. " Why? Because you post on youtube or have heard other 'real singers'. pffft

[@Kerorofan1990]

His lip-synching needs work.

[@tsharabrown3719]

As far as I know... even if the video recording was lip-synched, it was the same actor, Robert Picardo who recorded the song.

[@Qermaq]

Picardo confirmed he was not the singer on this bit. He is in all other Voyager singing scenes, either pre-recorded or live on set.

[@tsharabrown3719]

Ahh, thank you for that clarification, Qermaq ... I stand corrected. I suppose I assumed because I had heard Picardo was a singer.

[@Qermaq]

+T'shara Brown he is quite good. Just felt not good enough for this.

[@Mindraker1]
