First Time Hearing Luciano Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma 

Pavarotti didn't just perform, he lived music, his music spoke to the soul.

That's not a set! The thermal site of "Caracalla" was built by the romans 216 years after christ, roughly 1.804 years ago and still stands the test of time proudly in one of the most historycally rich parts of the world. Europe is Ancient, buddy ;)

The last line he sings is "I will win", on that high note, it kills me every time.

I laughed when he called the background a setup LOL Thats just Italy my brother

I am British. Italian culture, art, music, history, language is incredible.

Nobody, ever, is going to sing Nessun Dorma as Pavarotti did. EVER.

Hearing him sing, gives me chills every time.

English translation Nobody shall sleep!... Nobody 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!... (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!

Widely considered one of the greatest tenors, and indeed singers, of all time. His performances of Nessun Dorma will never be emulated by any other singer.

Dude, this is your opportunity to learn more about opera. That emotion you’re feeling increases exponentially, so go for it. Learn the story of this opera “Turandot” and others. This is a gift for you. Take advantage, learn it and enjoy.

Pavarotti got me learning Italian Almost fluent now

One of the best singers in the world my man. I cried when this man died. Heaven has another beautiful voice now.

Luciano Pavarotti is the greatest of all time (for me). His voice is incredible.

You Can't even immagine how thrilled you would have been if you only knew what Pavarotti was singing and how it resonates in the Italian soul!!!;

Pavarotti for me is the only one who can sing this... goosebumps every time

Pavarotti's voice is pure magic! I could listen to him all day!

As an Italian I can tell you that you should always listen to opera in a language you do not understand! It's an emotional not an intellectual medium.

Pavarotti once said opera was “screaming with education”.

Your smile makes me smile and when you touched your heart I cried. Thank you for that! Hugs back to you!

Luciano Pavarotti IS a singer. It's ART. From hearth. I LOVE him. Forever.

When Pavarotti sings, "He is the music". Absolutely.

His voice was a gift from heaven and he makes me cry and get chills every time he sang. He was so amazing and the world cried when he passed away.

Luciano Pavarotti was an angel fall down directly from haven to show us another way for express our own soul, He did it great!!! Thanks Luciano Thanks Italy

Lu-CHA-no Pa-va-ROT-tee. Find him singing "E lucevan le stelle" and "Vesti la giubba". Those two arias rarely fail to bring me to tears.

Listening to Pavarotti is an experience in itself but when he sings Nessum Dorma it's almost a spiritual experience. He was a passionate man and brought that into his performances. Yes, this is a real outdoor venue. I get goosebumps every time I hear him sing this. ❤❤❤

1:59 This is legit bro, the name is Terme di Caracalla in Rome. This concert was before the final of the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

It brings tears everytime I hear it. It's a blessing watching you enjoy as much as I do.

LUCIANO PAVAROTTI IS SECOND TO NONE!!!I'm from the Island of Puerto Rico and LUCIANO is the greatest Opera singer ever to me and to some of my country men/women Luciano needs no introduction LUCIAN is Legendary thanks for the video

"He WAS the music". Spot on!!!

not a set. There are thousands of places like that in Italy, even much more beautiful.

It amazes me that never hearing Opera, the way you reacted to it. You understood the passion of his voice. He was like in another world. That man sang with so much emotion and it touched you. I don't know of any black man liking Opera. You got it. Your reaction looked genuine and I was surprised how you reacted to his voice. I'm sure some black people love Opera, but to my knowledge the are in to rap, hip hop and their kind of soul music. This really touched you and you understood the feeling and passion that that man has. Great watching watching you. I myself never got into to Opera, but this mans voice gave me goosebumps on top of goosebumps. His voice let me feel something I never experimented before. I'm actually a C/W fan, but I was glad hearing this man sing. You are right, one does not need to understand the words at all. His performance transported me to another world. I do like several different styles of singing and music. This one was truly special.

Every time I hear him sing this, I cry. Cant control it, yet I dont understand what he is singing. It's just so beautiful.

I am not an opera fan, but this song, wow!! And the voice! Goosebumps every time!

LOVE it, sends chills down my spine. The look on Pavoratti's face when he finished was like "I can't believe I did it!" Although we never doubted his talent. A very moving song!!

Pronounced it perfectly!!!🤘🤘🤘🎶🎼🎵 Opera takes you somewhere special!!! This man could sing a cookbook and bring you to tears!!!💞💞💞💞

CUANDO ESCUCHO A PAVAROTTIME TRASPASA LA PIEL Y SE CLAVA EN EL CORAZÓN DE TAL FORMA QUE LLORO DE ALEGRÍA, EMOCIÓN Y FUERZA...ERA Y SIEMPRE SERÁ EL DIOS DE LA OPERA... EL AMO Y DUEÑO DE LA VOZ.

It's a song about hope. A prince falls in love with a princess with a heart of ice. She agrees to marry him if he answers three riddles; if he fails, he'll be beheaded. As he waits for the dawn and the contest, he says he'll reveal who he really is in their first kiss. The aria ends with him proclaiming, "At the dawn, I will win. I will win! I WILL WIN!"

Love this so much. He is a legend for sure and I love that even though you say you haven’t really listened to opera before you immediately got it. No matter the genre, you recognize the heart and passion. Great commentary. Subscribed.

Yo Doc im 17 from Italy, my playlist is 99% rap especially boom bap which is my favourite kind of rap, but in Italy literally everyone knows Pavarotti he is the legend.

I got to see him in a opera and it was amazing when i heard it makes u feel like ur heart is going to explode

Dude that was God singing through him. No doubt. Amazing to me how everyone is moved at a deep level by this!

I loved your smile, late in my 40's I saw him sing this with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, when I see your joy I feel it too! :)

This is one of my favorite opera arias. It gives me chills every time.

I absoloutly loved your reaction! Never listened to opera before but first time was listening to THE best! 😍 that is the beauty of his voice, can't help but smile I believe his name is pronounced... Loo-che-ah-noh It's Italian btw. 🇮🇹❤️

My favorite Pavarotti. Between his voice and the music...perfection.

Pavarotti was the best of all the tenor's hands down !

I'm so glad you did this one. I could see the second he got to you, I saw it in your eyes. Pavarotti (and you pronounced it very well) was a blessing.

Yo' Doc. Your reaction is what that's all about. You just listen a piece of musical art. OK - opera it's opera, but this is another level even for this style of music and that reflect in your genuine reaction. I know the song and the singer for a lot of time and it still touches me, it moves me deeply and seeing your face while listening this, was like a fresh air. This stuff can still touch people. Take care! Pace from Romania.

Anyone in the UK in to footy (soccer) in the late 80s to 90s will remember this as the theme to the World cup in Italy 1990, loved Pavarotti after this tune.

It’s great to see a young man appreciate talent. I like the way you smiled when you heard him sing. Great reaction.

Your reaction is priceless to him hitting those notes and good to see the appreciation for his talent. That was great!

Luciano Pavarotti is one of the greatest Tenors in history. The "Nessun Dorma" (No One Sleeps) is the most famous aria from the opera "Tourandot" by Puccini. The mark of a great Tenor is the ability to hit and hold the F4 during the climax (vincero-I will win).

Thank you for doing this. I knew the second you touched your heart that you got it ... you felt it. His singing cuts right to the soul. Maybe also try listening to Leontyne Price singing ´Vissi D´arte. There's a video here on RU-vid of her in a green dress. Also her "O patria mia" (in a blue dress). She's probably the greatest American soprano, and an amazing human being.

Your reactions were priceless on the high notes. You gotta hear Luciano's "vesti la giubba", you would enjoy it!!

Absolutely beautiful, effortless.

I've always been a fan of Luciano Pavarotti and tbe Three Tenors! I've listened to Nessum Dorma countless times....the best part of your video was the joy it brought to you!

So beautiful !! He was another one of a kind singer. I don't normally like opera, but he is an exception along with Dimash. Thanks for the reaction.

In this same concert, Nessun Dorma sings again but three tenors together, Pavarotti Carreras and Domingo. It is amazing to see this performance. A mystical experience.

Every time I hear this, I’m nearly in tears. It is so beautiful. Thank you for your great reaction.

I loved your reaction. Luciano does this to you, and so does the beautiful Nessun Dorma 🧡

Fun fact, Aretha Franklin filled in for him at one of the awards show when he was to sing this song but was too sick to do so. She sang it and put a little soul into it.

Italian. You hear this for first time and you immediately realize that the voice of God will touch your soul regardless of whether you understand Italian. Fromthis point forward your life is enriched. Be thankful

Yes brother! Love that you've thrown this in the mix! ❤ from the UK...stay safe!!

It's so wonderful to see this! I've never seen an opera reaction vid before. Your video came across my recommended, probably because I've been listening to a lot of opera on YT lately, and I loved getting to see your genuine reaction to Nessun Dorma. It's probably one of the more famous male arias out there, and it's stunning. I don't speak any other languages or anything like that, but like you said in this video you don't need to in order to appreciate opera. The passion stands for itself. If you get the chance, you should definitely check out female opera singers. My favorite is Sumi Jo. Her rendition of "O Mio Babbino Caro" is one of my favorite videos of hers (the one with her in an orange dress), but literally any video of hers is wonderful. I look forward to more opera reactions from you, but in the meantime I'll be checking out more of your content!!

You must learn the story of Nessum Dorma!! You'll appreciate the emotion of the song and the music so much more.

I'm glad the younger generation is getting to know all time greats through ''Reaction'' videos. Otherwise they would know nothing

Luciano Pavarotti & Maria Callas . . . Immortal forever. ❤️❤️

RIP Luciano Pavarotti. Best ever!

It's never too late to start something new, in this case Opera ❤️

Just so you know, He was dubbed the greatest tenor of all time. I guess you need to listen to more of him

I really enjoyed so much watching you as Pavarotti was singing. It's wonderful that you are willing to take the time and expose yourself to a kind of music that you haven't listened to that much. You're an inspiration to other young people that either have had no exposure to classical music, or have negative feelings about it. Please continue doing what you're doing!

Luciano is amazing. Thanks for playing and reacting to this ! He certainly puts himself all out there especially on this his signature song.

Yes, Luciano (pronounced Loochiano) is also known as a great operatic actor as well as one of the greatest tenors who ever lived. Bro, I hope you and your sweet wife get a chance to attend an opera soon! 😁

An Italian icon-non like him! Saw him perform in Cleveland in The 70’s. He’d be pleased & would smile to hear you call him “LP.” Like your T-shirt!

One of the better reactions to the Maestro Luciano Pavarotti !! Thank you for not chopping it up and ruining the vibe and passion of the aria. When you feel music , even though it's not in your language , that is true music. It speaks to the soul

A expressão fsla por si, Pavarotti exelente para qualquer lingua,qualquer país,para qualquer idade. Excelente vídeo , parabéns!!!

The ci in Luciano would be pronounced like chi, and Pavarotti would be Pa-vah-rOhtti you said it Pa-vah-rAhtti. "Nessun dorma"; English: "Let no one sleep" is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot and one of the best-known tenor arias in all opera. It is sung by Calaf, il Principe ignoto (the unknown prince), who falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but cold Princess Turandot. Any man who wishes to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles; if he fails, he will be beheaded. In the aria, Calaf expresses his triumphant assurance that he will win the princess. Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa, nella tua fredda stanza, guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore, e di speranza! (None shall sleep! None shall sleep! Not even you, oh Princess, in your cold bedroom, watching the stars that tremble with love, and with hope!) Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me; il nome mio nessun saprà! No, No! Sulla tua bocca, lo dirò quando la luce splenderà! (But my secret is hidden within me; no one will know my name! No, no! On your mouth, I will say it when the light shines!) Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio che ti fa mia! (And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine!) Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba, vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò! (Vanish, o night! Fade, you stars! Fade, you stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! )

As far as the pronunciation goes, the “c” in Luciano is supposed to be pronounced like a “CH” (chills, children....) The surname in kinda right, although the double T means that you have to pronunce the letter in a “stronger way”, i don’t really know how to explain it

I once sang Beethoven's 9th with a full orchestra as part of a 150 voice choir for the 4th movement (chorale). When we stop singing the orchestra goes mad for about 16 bars and at the crashing finish, you feel like you've run a marathon, and it felt like my spirit was smashing out of my skull into the sky! The audience felt it and were on their feet before it ended. It's spiritual, my friend. You leave the realm of this earth and you are literally transported to a different place. It's ecstasy!

Once I started listening to opera, I couldn't get enough of it. It moves the soul, and you felt it in your chest just like I do!

This opera is in Italian, as most operas are. Aretha Franklin covered this song, and she nailed it.

f you might like the genre, I can recommend it to you Anna Netrebko and Dmitriy Hvorostovskiy (Rest in Peace) Podmoskovnie vechera (Moscow Nights).

For us Italians the maestro Pavarotti is the Ferrari of classical music, thanks from Italy

I love your reaction. You articulated your feelings much better than I could! He was so much more than amazing.

Can you check out John Farnham singing the Beatles song “Help” live with MSO.

Testo in italiano: 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 Dilegua,oh notte Tramontate,stelle Tramontate,stelle All’alba vincerò, Vincerà, Vincerò.

You were so right...He WAS the music! I can't hear that particular piece without tears. So beautiful. You need to see Pavarotti in Turandot to understand where the emotion is coming from...Very Powerful. Unfortunately, Pavarotti is gone now, so you can't experience it live. I'm glad you're introducing young people to a different genre of music. Growing up, it was Bugs Bunny cartoons that introduced me to classical music. I've always encouraged my children to listen to all music and let it speak to you in a personal way. Music is our universal language (so you don't need to know the words).

Im watching people's reactions on Pavaroti's Nessun Dorma here in my room in Croatia, and im crying....what a reaction man and what a voice. God rest his soul 🙏💙

I think he's singing in italian

OK, so now that you are starting to appreciate what opera's all about, try Franco Corelli - Nessun Dorma. Corelli was the greatest of all tenors...find out for yourself and also watch him in the colour clip of Tosca...E lucevan Le Stelle

Luciano is my example, my hero in singing - Happy you enjoyed it Rich :-)

Ugh! This song always makes me tear up. The beauty! So happy you’re reacting to this! Have you listened to Perfect Symphony by Ed Sheehan and Andrea Bocceli? Beautiful! Also Romanza by Andrea Bocceli. They’re some beautiful songs!!!

Thanks for posting this Doc Rich, the one thing about music, and especially a good tenor voice, it can be appreciated by anybody, you dont have to be rich, famous, or good looking, it's open to a everybody,, it's what appeals to the soul, and I'm glad it stirs your passion Sir, thanks once again for the post.

This aria is from Puccini's opera "Turandot". Pavarotti is fabulous, one-of-a-kind; thanks!

Exactly raw emotion that reaches the soul, that’s what opera does. It’s so moving! Listen to Corelli and Lanza sing this aira too.

Last Friday (5th) I was sat with my grandfather on his last minutes with him on earth while listening to this song! My grandfather would sing this to me as a little girl! RIP granddad love u too bits xx

Exactly he put his heart n soul in that song as u said u can see the passion in his voice n face . That's what opera singers do . He was the original opera singer I guess . Such a legend n many great opera singers today . R.I.P . Pavarotti

Watching you watching him is a pleasure. He was the greatest

Very nice to see a young man like you enjoy the music of the great Luciano Pavarotti, language is no barrier.

It’s real and outside. Terme di Caracalla in Rome. An incredible place. Had the fortune of performing there in 2014.
