BLACK AMERICAN FIRST REACTION TO OPERA | Luciano Pavarotti singing "Nessun dorma" from Turandot 

#Justin'sWorldHelpedGetMeLaid: hi sweetie, long-time subscriber/fangirl here, thought I might like this little story (just happened last nite!): I'm a bisexual white chick who just started seeing (lol 😏) a new lady friend, knew she'd dig yr reactions (variety + entertainment) so showed her yr Pavarotti "Nessun Dorma" & Anthrax ft. Public Enemy reax bam-bam, and... 😏😘🤗😁👹🤯 So thanks, baby!!!

Don't hold back the tears and the emotion....that's what it it's all about...it doesn't make you less of a man...it strengthens the soul

can´t listen to Nessun Dorma without crying, man, Pavarotti was da real deal.

Absolute Gold Standard. Possibly the greatest male opera singer of all time. Every tenor in the world aspires to this standard...

Very few people have the natural reaction that you have to opera. It's a sign of a deep and rare soul.

Having Pavarotti as your first opera experience is like driving a Bugatti your first time behind the wheel.

Seeing you break down was beautiful, brother.... it really was. We should all FEEL music.

Bro, that's one of the best reactions I've seen. Good on you for accepting that you just couldn't hold your shit together in the face of something so beautiful and powerful. Respect.

Awh, you mate. You did exactly the thing I've been doing for thirty years: Crying my eyes out. Let's not talk about it.

Human beings have made some truly beautiful forms of art! This one is pretty incredible.

Luciano Pavarotti also did a duet with the godfather of soul, James Brown.

From the uk, Pavarotti voice touch you ... great respect for your time to listen...

Nothing wrong with crying to a great and emotional masterpiece of music. I can cry to this too it only shows that music can touch you in your heart

The best opera singers are in a class of their own

Crying is an appropriate reaction!! It is SO powerful! And yes, you don’t have to understand the words! I’ve heard it several times and I get choked up every time!!

Luciano Pavarotti was the voice of God on earth! Change my mind!

I hope you go from being a Black American, to a Universal Man, opening yourself to everything good our world offers ...

Pavarotti is a Legend! Thanks for this video!

It looks effortless, but for a performance like that in the evening he will have been warming himself up doing vocal exercises since the morning. Great reaction!!!

Durham Lad here, mate this song means so much to any football supporters across the world, the opening song for the World Cup which was held in Italy that year, the World Cup is played every 4 tears, and don't worry mate I'm 61 yrs old, 6-2" ex-blacksmith and I stood with many a man in the pub and there wasn't a dry eye in the house, I kid you not, buy that man a pint!, best regards from County Durham England.

It's from an opera called Turandot....he is singing to the stars knowing he is winning in a great contest....vincero! I will win!

I cannot listen to this on my way to work... I will have all my makeup running..every damn time. Pavarotti brings everyone of your emotions to the surface and then collides them.....

Listen to him again singing "Vesti la Giubba" (Put on the Costume) from the opera Pagliacci, where he is playing Pagliacci, the tragic clown. That will also bring you to tears.

This song is part of a larger story..my explanation is NOT perfect, but... from a Puccini opera called "Turandot" ... the basic story he is singing is the final act , A young Man Named " CalaF" falls madly in Love at first sight with the Majestic Princess "Tarandot" She is very cold , and unobtainable to any man. yet the most beautiful Woman in the land. Any man who tries to take her hand in marriage must answer her three Riddles. if he fails, he will be beheaded..... in the Previous part, " CalaF " has correctly answered the three riddles , he now kneels before her, correctly asking for her hand....and she pleads with him not to hold her to her words....begging no.... she says She doesnt even know is name.. He gives her one more chance ...and says "If you Know my name by Sunrise, I shall not take your hand in Marriage, and you may Execute me Princess" The Ruthless Princess demands no servants and townsfolk sleep until his name is revealed, if they fail, heads will Roll.... CalaF is alone in the moonlight in the palace gardens hearing the Princess give her heated, angry instructions to her servants He begins to sing this piece: No sleep!Nessun dorma! No sleep !Nessun dorma! You too, oh Princess Tu pure, oh Principessa In your cold room Nella tua fredda stanza Look at the stars that tremble Guardi le stelle che tremano Of love and hope D'amore e di speranza But my mystery is closed in me Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me No one will know my nameI l nome mio nessun saprà No, no, I'll say it on your mouth No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò When the light shines Quando la luce splenderà And my kiss will melt Ed il mio bacio scioglierà The silence that makes you mine Il silenzio che ti fa mia (No one will know his name( ll nome suo nessun saprà And we must, alas, die, die) E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir) Fade away, oh nigh tDilegua, oh notte Set, stars Tramontate, stelle Set, stars Tramontate, stelle I'll win at dawn All'alba vincerò I will win Vincero I will win Vincerò

That "hold it down" reaction was effing awesome. Great reaction! Next on the list is Con Te Partiro.

I've seen a lot of reactions of "Nessun dorma" with Pavarotti and this is my favorite. The funniest at all. A man who don't cry hearing this song is not a true man, so it's not a shame, absolutely not. I love you man. Thanks and ciao from Italy.

It is a blessing to see someone who has, by means of their environment, been largely restricted in what variety of music they hear, and then be exposed to the magnificence of the maestro. I wonder how many times you heard a new rap artist and actually APPLAUDED their performance. I congratulate and thank you for expanding your music horizons. I know it can be difficult to do due to your peer group pressure. Now you know.

The 3 tenors concerts. 3 of the best opera singers having fun and sounding great.

Enjoyed your reaction, which, believe it or not, is not unusual, as opera halls full of his fans have often cried when he sang this aria.

Gets me everytime. So powerful

He got ya..let.it out!! Beauty is its own.joy

Famous in the UK as the theme tune for the 1990 football World Cup, the song got to number 2 in the charts as well.

Young black man has been deprived of beauty all his life, until now.

Ci manca Luciano 🇮🇹

'Miserere' Zucchero and Pavarotti or Boccelli . Two different voices compliment each other beautifully. VERY touching but now that you've had your heart ripped out by a great tenor I think you can take it.

That's what you call Heaven

Pasta and Pucci is always good combination Nd a good cry is always nice

Yeah, it’s fucking epic. At the end it’s overwhelming, everytime I listen to this it’s like I’m getting hit by a train.

Congratulations, You Are Now Listening To The Greatest Tenor Of All Times!!!

I saw him live in Wales., it was jaw dropping, fantastic!

The greatest tenor of all time!!!

How I wish I had a son like you, I would take you to so many operas. Listen to Pavarotti singing Una furtiva lagrima or Tito Gobby singing Di provenza il mar il suol. Don't just listen to the arias but read the stories. You will appreciate them even more. I know and love opera but I stil and often tear up from all this beauty and our luck at having them.

So glad his performance made you emotional. Opera/Pavarotti, gifts from another realm.

Not sitting down babe....definitely standing!!!!🎵🎼🎶🎧🥁🎸 Honey the man could sing a cookbook and bring you to tears!!!! Welcome to Opera Emotions!!! Loved your reaction!!!💜💜💜💜

Great reaction 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾🎶🎶❤

The 3 Tenors O Sole Mio 1994 it is great!

Se você ouvir concentrado, sem ficar interrompendo, falando, enfim mergulhar totalmente na performance de Pavarotti você chorará com certeza. Wonderfull Magnific Marvelous ULTRAMEGATOP

Thanks for posting. My mom & sister were at that concert at Dodger Stadium. Definitely pasta time!!

Respect the singer, the viewer and yourself enough to be honest and natural. Clowning is weak and tired. "I want some breadsticks..." Oh, brother.

Well not everyone is going to sound that good in Opera Luciano Pavarotti was the goat!!! But you seriously need to check some more out! I highly recommend The Three tenors I also highly recommend Andrea bocelli

You should watch his duet with James Brown singing It’s a Mans World.

The Movie "Moonstruck" features this song when Nick takes Cher to the Opera for the first time.

awwww.... HUGS... you gotted the opera tears. You should try to go to a live performance of something like that sometime. I'd also recommend you look at BLACK VIOLIN. They are a duet. Insane talent.

The background music his priceless😅

I subscribed because of this video!

Non ti scordar di me By Piero Barone of IL Volo.

Your reaction at the end is how most people react.

Listen a few times!

I think this is the best reaction video I have ever seen!🙂

That was dope 🔥🔥🔥

Your reaction is priceless. Pavarotti performed this role in the opera "Turandot" many times. At this concert, at the end of this song where he sings "I will win, I will win, I will win", his facial expressions reflect that role, he is acting. By now you have seen many videos of Pavarotti on RU-vid. I watch full operas, many have English subtitles so you know what its about. Try light, comical operas such as The Barber of Seville (Rossini) and The Marriage of Figaro (Mozart). Then attend an opera, you will love it.

You may also want to hear Maria Callas sometimes... Her voice is still the peak of female opera singers. I would suggest also to listen to a good performance of the Queen of night in the magic flute, an Opera of Mozart.

Wonderful reaction - it gets you in the pit of your stomach :)

Next Christmas please consider listening to his version of “oh holy night” -loved your review-can’t stop watching it.

You Sir are lovely to watch. Authentic. Kind. Keep manifesting what God sent you for.

I love your reaction 🥰...He was, no he still Is wonderful 😍😍❤️

MARAVILLOSO...SI TE EMOCIONAS ES QUE TE LLEGA DENTRO Y SABES DISTIGUIR LA MÚSICA DE LA BASURA...UN DIOS, GENIO, ANIMAL, BESTIA ÚNICA EL PAVAROTTI..SI QUIERES SENTIR LO MISMO O MAYOR, ESCUCHA A MARIA CALLAS.."MIO BAMBINO CARO".."LA MAMA MORTA" ETC ETC...LLORARÁS DE VERDAD. SALUDOS DESDE ESPAÑA...

Italy = Art

italian Legend 🇮🇹❤

I know the feeling - in some great operas, you don't know whether you want to cry, yell, moan, punch something, or what!

Bravissimo 🎉

The best for humanity too .All the world can sing Thanks Luciano...! I like more "Vesti la giubba" (ridi pagliaccio)

Nessun Dorma = Nobody Sleeps, the last aria from Puccini's opera Turnadot....and NAILS that ending Al alba vincero, vincero, VINCEROOOO!!!!!

Honey don't hold it down. Let it fly!

Seems that we are all children of one father!

I believe it means "No one sleeps"

Gift from God 💥💥💥

Bellissimo.

I'm with you, Brother. Best reaction ever! See, if I heard that in person, I'm afraid it would translate into non-operatic behavior on my part, more like when folk get happy in church: I might get ejected. Indeed, Pavarotti's voice was/is a Gift from God!

new sub just off of this rection... ness un dorma translated to no one sleeps

Yes people used to, and still do, sing. Find them.

so what's the point of a spoiler at the beginning???

can we have some love for puccini for writing it

Check out Luciano and James Brown “it’s a man’s world” knock your socks off

Look up a synopsis of the opera Turandot for the story Nessun Dorma is Italian for nobody sleeps

O sole mio 1994 the three tenors!!

Nobody sleeps Nobody sleeps! Nobody sleeps! Neither do you, oh Princess, In your cold room, Look at the stars That tremble with love and hope! But my mystery is locked within me; No one will find out my name! No, No! I will tell it to your lips when the light will shine! And my kiss will melt the silence that makes you mine!

Criminal you've never heard the maestro.....but...all is well.

Oh my... never heard opera... OR Pavarotti... and you chose THIS??? I can't wait... I KNOW how this is going to end...

Yay!

This was from the opera Turandot At the beginning of the opera, which is set in Peking, China, Calaf, an unknown prince, falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but haughty Princess Turandot. According to royal edict, however, any suitor who wishes to marry her must correctly answer three riddles. Those who fail are killed. Despite protests from his father and his servant, Calaf accepts the challenge and is determined to marry Turandot. Much to the delight of the princess's father, as well as the entire kingdom, Calaf answers all three riddles correctly. But Turandot refuses to marry this stranger. She doesn't even know his name. The prince then makes a deal with her: If she can figure out his name before dawn, he will gladly die. If she cannot, they will marry. Turandot agrees and the countdown begins. Late that night, the princess declares that no one will sleep until she learns the name of her suitor. In fact, she cries out that everyone in the kingdom will be killed if no one steps forward to reveal Calaf's identity. Meanwhile, Calaf confidently sings "Nessun Dorma"-"Nobody shall sleep." No-one sleeps....no-one sleeps, Even you, O Princess, in your cold room, Watch the stars which tremble with love and hope! But my secret is locked within me, no-one shall know my name! No, no, I shall say it on your mouth when the light breaks! And my kiss will break the silence that makes you mine! (No-one shall know his name, and we, alas, shall die!) Vanish, o night! Set, ye stars! At dawn I shall win! I shall win!! I shall win!!

We've all been at this "wtf is this man doing to me" point.

Man Pavarotti get's everyone, men do cry it's all good, awesome reaction, check out Aretha Franklin filling in for him and doing this song it's beautiful!!!! From one great to another.

Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe... Barcelona

None shall sleep, None shall sleep! Even you, oh Princess, In your cold room, Watch the stars, That tremble with love And with hope. 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! (Chorus: No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore, e di speranza! Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me; il nome mio nessun saprà! No, No! Sulla tua bocca, lo dirò quando la luce splenderà! Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio che ti fa mia! (coro: il nome suo nessun saprà e noi dovrem ahimè morir, morir) Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba, vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò!

I am disappointed that you would use curse words after listening to such beauty!

Nesum dorma means no one sleeps tonight

JUSTIN, PAVAROTTI HIMSELF SAID THAT CORELLI (WITH DEL MONACO) WAS THE GREATEST VOICE OF ALL TIME. NATURALLY CARUSO AND GIGLI CANNOT BE RATED FOR BAD RECORDING. YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST SEE FRANCO CORELLI ON RU-vid TO UNDERSTAND WHY PAVAROTTI WAS RIGHT: "NESSUN DORMA - FRANCO CORELLI" (1.277.358 VIEWS) AND THEN, THE MOST SPECTACULAR VOICE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY: "MARIO DEL MONACO VESTI LA GIUBBA LIVE 1959 (BOLSHOI THEATER RUSSIA)" AND "MARIO DEL MONACO SINGS "DI QUELLA PIRA" " (258.786 VIEWS). FINALLY THE GREATEST VOICE OF THE POPULAR SONG OF ALL TIME "VILLA CLAUDIO - GRANADA" (4 MLN VIEWS).

You should listen to Aretha Franklins cover of Nessun Dorma. She and Pavarotti were friends :)

Luciano Pavarotti singing Caruso live in Paris. Read the story behind the song before you listen.
