Luciano Pavarotti sings "Nessun dorma" from Turandot (The Three Tenors in Concert 1994) ( Reaction ) 

You just witnessed literally one of the best singers in the history of the world. His voice transcended all cultures, all races, all ages.

Pavarotti was the greatest human voice in world history. He died in 2007.

He didn't get stuck, the music wasn't finished just because the singing was over, so he stayed concentrated and in his role. His last sentence was " I will win!" So that's what he showed.

Big luciano .the king of high note. Rest in peace maesrro pavarotti.

the best opera singing in history! When I was very young I heard him sing. It was as if he reached into every person's heart and touched our souls, and made us one. Everyone cried when he sang because he had the voice of an angel. He sang from his heart and soul RIP Maestro!

Something to consider is that this piece comes from an opera, so there is a whole character behind it. I know I was taught that you are in character until the music stops... he's in character. He was the best.

Yeah, pretty sure this wasn't the guy you were supposed to see in February. He's been dead since 2007.

I believe that at the end, his expression is a mixture of I hit that note or notes and then pure bliss. He's buzzing after an incredible achievement, like an athlete that just kicked that impossible match winning goal. He was a vocal athlete.

As Italian, I'm very happy and proud to see young American people discovering and appreciate our cultural heritage.

THE PEOPLE’S TENOR! Makes me cry every time.

The man truly had a beautiful voice.

You got Luciano right. The last name: Pava rotti. Dude, he was catching his breath at the end. Sheesh.

IamTae It is natural for opera singers to go into character when singing a whole piece but to be able to do so for just one aria, it is amazing. At the end he says "At daybreak I will win" he (the character) knew no one else would say it to him. He was just trying to get his breathing pattern back, he was known to hold that final note for 18 seconds.

We cry Tears Of Joy together..BRAVO LUCIANO..

It is when you are born you either love and understand Opera or you don't. The Maestro has the greatest male voice in the history of music. Some say the greatest voice ever.

Goosebumps every time!!

The maestro, the best singer in history. Once in a lifetime voice. God bless him!

in the end it was as if the veil between this realm and the heavens fell off to reveal the angels dancing to his heavenly voice

That's not just one guy, That's the guy!

He died 2007 RIP. He makes me cry every time. He’s singing with Angels

Always happy to see the younger generation discovering artists like Pavarotti

Pavarotti...one of the greatest Tenors in history. The "Nessun Dorma" (No One Sleeps) is the most famous aria from the opera "Turandot" by Puccini. The mark of a great Tenor is being able to hit and hold that B4 during the climax (vincero-I will win).

Btw this master has passed on to sing for jesus.he is the heavyweight champion of vocalisists

The theme of every opera: a soprano and a tenor want to get it on, but a baritone won't let them.

No matter one's musical taste, there's music that hits us deep, universally. The climax of this piece is doubtlessly one.

When he sang this, he had already been a lead tennor for 31 years. Crazy good

The greatest tenor of all time.

"Job? This is not JOB - this is excitement" / Luciano Pavarotti Message to everyone wanting to be great on what they do.

I've loved him since Ii first heard him. RIP Luciano.

That one guy was Pavarotti !!! A true legend RIP big man.

If you asked me was there one thing that I could have done in my life that I will never be able to do, seeing Luciano Pavoratti live in concert would likely be near or at the top of my list. Unfortunately, he passed shortly after the Torino Olympics a few years back. I consider him to be the greatest singer in recorded history.

The still power of the Pavorotti.

Keep in mind he is almost 70 years old here ! This is one of the most demanding song for a tenor ! So at the end it's the face of a men who ask himself at each concert if he will reach and sustain the note , if his body is not gonna fail him ! And then carried by the act and the power of the song the miracle happend ! This is the face of achievment !

Opera music touches your soul in a very unique way. Most people have very strong feelings about opera music. They love it or hate it. Even the haters are touched by Pavarotti. He could get an emotional response from a rock. That is just how good he really was.

the more times you play Nessun Dorma the more you will like it, especially if the one who sings it is Pavarotti.

He had a fantastic voice.

Goosebumps!

Welcome to the Italian Legend bro.

I love that you immediately picked up on my favorite thing about him - so chill - so effortless.

“He’s so calm while he’s singing...” me: from experience... you should see how hard he’s flexing his abs

man dont call PAVAROTTI guy, But MAESTRO...give to him respect from italy

Tomorrow....I win! One man standing and declaring what he's going to do!

I pity anyone not moved by that piece of musical magic.

A whole orchestra for one guy 😂 Luciano Pavarotti without an epic orchestra unthinkable. It was a huge luck to see and hear him live and a great honor. Love from Austria/Europe 🇦🇹

He sang a duet with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, one of Mr. Brown’s iconic songs, “It’s a Man’s World.”

Hi there... the reason he looks like that after the last "vicero!" end note is because he hardly has enough air in his lungs. Nessun Dorma isn't an easy song to sing... I've tried it countless times only to end too early because lak of training and air to push the last note. I ran out of breath trying to sing this... lol. 🙄😆

It was sooo good seeing your reaction to this famous singer; one of the best ever ....you're great! Thanks!

When I was learning classical singing, it's really an entire performance from the first note of the music to the last. You don't look at the crowd, wave, break your performance in any way until it's over. He was singing "Tremble stars for I will win!" at the end and he wanted to keep that emotion until the choir and orchestra finished. For one song, singers need to study the history of the story that the song is from, and emulate that on stage (and this applies to any kind of singing imo, not just classical) And yes, it could be partially a music-gasm cause you know. He was Luciano MotherFuckin Pavarotti.

I think the person who cancelled in February in Charlotte might have been Andrea Bocelli, a different tenor. Luciano Pavarotti passed away in 2007 at the age of 71. The video you watched was recorded in 1994.

Pavarotti virtually owned this aria from Turandot from the first three tenors concert. I never saw him in the role but if see Domingo singing it in Verona in 1974. Also of the three tenors, I so each ot them sing Riccardo in Un ballo in mascera at Covent Garden stating with Domingo in 1975. We also over the years got Bergonzi and Gedda

he's the GOAT

Great fuuuunny review! Pavarotti had the best vocals of all time...

I loved Luciano pavarotti he was my favorite tenor opera singer and he unfortunately died and ever since he died when he sings a l a Vincero I cry like a baby. I saw him a couple of times in concert but never got a chance to meet him

That is why he got the big bucks.

This is my very favourite Pavarotti performance of Nessun Dorma. The way his eyes **flash** at the end, when he sings, "Vincero! (I will win!)", is magical. He is bringing the part of Prince Calaf from the Opera "Turandot" to this performance of this one song, singing it with all the passion of that character: . "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!"

Is he stuck? Lol, no, he just stays in the mood for a short moment.

He was lost in the moment in his vision of victory after belting the final words "I will win!"

Most opera is sung in the Italian language. But what a fantastic voice! thanks for that. X

Nessum Dorma is about this young woman that a man has fallen in love with and basically he is encouraging himself exclaiming that he will win her heart. His embrace of her sealed with a kiss is like the stars of heaven on full display. He proclaims in the end, “I WIN, I WIN, I WIN!!!!!”

Lol "they got the whole orchestra out" 😂

He died September of 2007, he could not have been giving a concert on your birthday in 2020.

He is singing a Love Song in Italian. He had the most effortless and powerful voice in music. I would like to see you play some music by Johnny Mathis, first singer to have a greatest hits album and in my opinion The most beautiful voice on a man I have heard. Great Range and went through a lot to get to be one of the greatest ever.

I'm from Italyyyy

It was no orgasm, he sang infront of tousend of people it's the Peaksof gis career he just saw he made it

Don't know how he could have been promoted for a concert in Charlotte since he's been dead for more than a decade now.

Miss that voice !!!!!!

Lol you crazy yes he could really hit those notes.

So to answer what he is singing about (short) a gentleman has a bet with a princess to guess his name within 24 hours. If she can't he gets to marry her, if she can he gets put to death. "Nessum Dorma" is none shall sleep, as she has all her servants trying to find out his name. "Vinceron" (spelling?) is him saying "I shall win"

Nessun dorma has never been performed in the way Pavarotti could ..

“Is he stuck?” 🤣🤣😂😂. That killed me.

Excellent observation - an operorgasm!!!

World Renowned!

Pavarotti uno dei più grandi tenori di tutti i tempi . Nessun dorma dalla romanza Turandot di Puccini eccezionale genio della musica .

As a Black man I love that you love his music. Also listen to Jesseye Norman, Leontyne Price, Kathleen Battle et al.

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! (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!

What is he doing there at the end? He is gasping for breath.

Andrea Bocelli is who you saw around Charlotte on the Spectrum Arena screens.

Thanks for sharing. You ought to listen again in silence. His name is pronounced Loo-chi-ah-no Pa-vah-rot-ti, and "Nessun dorma" means none shall sleep.

Fav !

Yes! Listen to everything! We all get stuck with only the things we already know.

Its an aria about a princesse's riddle that he solves but no one will sleep "Nesson Dorma" until he wins by solving the riddle.

I watch these reaction videos in series and it's so bad to see that young people don't have the patience to listen to a two-minute aria. Some people stop it three times and talk into it. If the singer sings the high notes, he is satisfied. Serious music isn't just about that! A song has a structure and a character, a classical piece of music is a round whole, which is complete with the crescendo. This should not be interrupted, because then you don't have the experience. I went to the opera when I was eight years old, but I will never forget that experience. I could sit on the chair for a while, then I jumped up and ran to the band. My feet took root there. The music mesmerized me, my whole body throbbed and rumbled. I didn't just hear it with my ears, I felt the music in my cells. It's as if my heart beats to that beat too. It felt like I was floating and surrounded by music. This young man will never have such an experience if he is so impatient.

it really does help knowing about the plot to Turandot and what the aria is about. subtitles?

"opera orgasm" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This February? Pavarotti died in 2007.

omg I miss him

you should also hear "mamma" always with pavarotti, and read the lyrics. a song for the heart

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. Basically he answers the riddles but the Princess won't marry him, for she doesn't even know his name. He tells her if she can guess his name before the Sun rises he will die but if she can't then she will marry him. She the threatens to kill her entire village if no tells her his name. The choir is representing the village and the are signing, "No one will know his name and we must, alas, die." The last lines of the song where he's killing those high notes: Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! Once Pavarotti had to cancel a show and Aretha Franklin stepped up and took his place. She nailed it.

Yo man you’re from NC!? Been watching your videos for awhile and never knew. I live just north of Charlotte!

The man.......

BIG Luciano orgoglio italiano

Direttore orchestra Zunino Metha ❤️❤️👍 Pavarotti IL MAESTRO

Synopsis of Turandot just for context. www.opera-arias.com/puccini/turandot/synopsis/

Hey I'm from Charlotte too!

He’s no Pavarotti, but check out Paul Potts singing the same song!!

Italian. "Tomorrow...I win!"

It's pronounced "Lu -cha no" :)

He's worth more than that entire orchestra.

Yeah dude. It's called opera.

You should check out "this is a man's world" by Pavarotti and James brown.
