Luciano Pavarotti, an iconic Italian tenor, remains one of the most admired figures in the world of opera, renowned for his extraordinary vocal clarity and powerful delivery. Celebrated for his mastery of bel canto technique, Pavarotti's performances brought opera to a wider audience through his numerous recordings, televised concerts, and notable appearances like the Three Tenors concert series. His interpretation of arias such as 'Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's Turandot has become legendary, showcasing his ability to convey deep emotions with unparalleled expressiveness. Pavarotti's influence extends beyond classical music, having collaborated with contemporary artists, which helped bridge the gap between classical opera and popular music. His legacy continues to inspire and attract new fans around the globe, cementing his status as one of the greatest operatic tenors of all time
Nessun Dorma," the iconic aria from Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot, is celebrated globally for its compelling melody and emotional depth. Made famous by legendary tenor Luciano Pavarotti, particularly during the 1990 FIFA World Cup, "Nessun Dorma" has become a symbol of operatic excellence. This powerful aria showcases the protagonist Prince Calaf's victorious declaration as he awaits the dawn that will confirm his triumph. Its climactic high notes and stirring lyrics, translating to "None shall sleep," resonate with audiences, ensuring its place as a staple in classical music and a highlight at major performances. Fans of opera and classical music frequently seek out recordings and performances of "Nessun Dorma" on platforms like RU-vid, Spotify, and Apple Music, where its dramatic impact and beauty continue to move and inspire listeners around the world.

No no, your talking during the master's singing is really ugly

@ChiefHerzensCoach Месяц назад

the face he has shows that hero climax - i think only tenors have this: all bones in the chest and head start to vibrate with the sound and the tenors tell that you do not want to end the note when this happens. so you hold it as long as you can (or the music allows it). this is also why heros in opera normally are tenors because this only happens with tenor voice. his version is incredible !!!

@ChiefHerzensCoach Месяц назад

here is a comparison of a lot of tenors singing the climax - not one comes close: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6R5-FXVHruQ.html

His eyes at the end of the piece, are one of the highlights of the aria. It's almost as if he's been singing from a higher plane, and only realises it when he comes back down after delivering the final note. This really is a work of art by the great genius.🙋‍♂

A few months ago, in our way to school, my 9 years old child told me they were going to talk about opera in school. He told me ‘daddy, what’s opera?’. I got my phone and told him I was going to show him. On the last ‘Vincero’ he started to shake and his mouth was wide open, tears falling through his eyes. When the video ended, I told him ‘that’s opera, I watched this when I was a child and I felt exactly how you feel right now. This is why I love opera’. He said nothing, but I could really see he was genuinely impressed and didn’t know how to express himself.

Pavarotti himself stated emphatically that while he always had a love for football his one and only passion and obsession in life was the Opera. He was a fierce believer that Opera belonged to the people and there is a reason he worked so hard to promote and bring the Opera to the masses. He also taught free classes to up and coming tenors, he was very supportive of his fellow colleagues and wanted to teach them better techniques to further their careers.

I am a musician, a ROCK musician. I had a girlfriend who couldn't understand why I like opera. One day watching PBS -- I'm from Shetland, but I live in America -- Pavarotti was to be featured. It was a nice spring day in South Florida so I had the front door open. Him doing this "song". I never heard the screen door open and close, too focused on the dude. As I was clapping I head someone else clapping. It was my girlfriend who HATED OPERA, tears in her eyes: "Who is that?" she asked. I told her Pavarotti. She said "I love opera." Of course you do!

Not only have I listened to many singers doing Nessum Dorma, I have also listened to many versions of Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma, and for me, this one is still, by far, the best.

Thanks, Beth. It's one thing to enjoy art, but to UNDERSTAND art and to be able to pass on that understanding, the way you do, with enthusiasm, that's the skill of a highly trained teacher. Who could admire a rock 'n roll singer after Luciano and you ? I picked up Arias from my mate, Giuseppe (Joe)'s parents, working class, factory worker immigrants from Sicily. I was already ruined by having listened to musical comedy (Sound of music, Carousel, My Fair Lady) but then I met Joe at Uni, then his parents. Training, of course, Olympic champions become so by training. How could I be so stupid ? it makes sense. Now, young grandson, Hey, Dommie, forget footy, try this !

@Raztiana 4 месяца назад

Also worth noting is Pavarotti's breathing during the last "vincerò". How he tops of between "vince" and "rò", so he has enough air to finish air to complete the song the way he wants to. This takes forever to master. ALL operas have silly plots, and the most beautiful songs often have less than impressive lyrics. What's important is not so much the plot or the lyrics, but the emotion you share as a singer. Opera singing seems to be something that either comes naturally to you (still takes a LOT of practice) or it doesn't. I'm one of those, where it simply suits my voice better, and the first time I let go of beliefs of how a teenage girl was supposed to sing, it changed me forever, because it gave me the freedom to express myself. To some it will be unnatural, and it will sound as weird as if I tried to sing gospel. Either is perfectly fine, as long as you embrace your voice as it is, not as you wish it to be.

@WalterWild-uu1td Месяц назад

It's from the the opera "Turandot" by Puccini. It's a classic fairy tale...a proud Princess declares she will only marry someone who can answer three riddles. If they fail, they get executed. Several try and die. Finally one more steps forward and answers all three riddles. The Princess still doesn't want to marry him but he tells her if she can guess his name before dawn, he will allow himself to be killed. She says she will allow no one to sleep and threatens to kill everyone unless someone tells her the Prince's name. The song you're hearing is sung by the Prince (who's name is Calaf) during the night, proclaiming that he will win. Meanwhile the Princess is having a slave girl who knows his name tortured. The girl won't tell her his name and commits suicide. (It's opera...things like this happen.) Sun comes up, Princess doesn't know, Calaf takes her veil off and kisses her...then Princess tells him his name is "Love." Happy ending...except for all the people who die before the wedding.

Giacomo Puccini: A genius. How else should one best portray resounding triumph ("I will win; I will win") than building up tension -like a roller-coaster going up (forcing us to hold our breath)- and taking us to the highest almost unbearable point (the high B), to then release it with that final A, filling our souls with a sense of great victory, relieved, tears in our eyes, joyful, grateful to be alive...to have defeated evil and darkness...as we witness the dawn of a new, glorious day...still standing...

Pavarotti was hands down the best to ever do it. There's just something about his vocal quality that triggers the emotions. Dunno what it is. As far as his facial expression goes at the end of this particular performance. My pet theory has always been that going into this performance he wasn't 100% sure he could pull that B4 at the end off and his face at the end is just absolute relief that he still had it. This was toward the end of his career after all and at this point he'd been experiencing a lot of health problems

I love watching videos of Pavaratti (though his performance of Vesti la Guibba from I Pagliacci is my favorite of his) because he isn't just a phenomenal singer, but he's the total package of a performer. He's so in-character with his facial expressions, even in a setting like this one.

Beth, beginning at the 13:00 mark, you explain why Pavarotti is so great. I believe that you could apply these same criteria to what makes Lara Fabian so great in the Pop genre. Sure, Lara's technique is not Bel Canto, but her flawless technique, her masterful breath support, and her amazing resonance all support her goal of conveying the emotion to the listener. The more I listen to recordings of Lara's performances, the more similarities that I see between her singing and Pavarotti's. Sure, they are different genres, with different techniques and different style goals, but I believe that many of the elements that made Pavarotti's singing so great can also be found in Lara's singing. One difference between the two is that from age 5, Lara knew that she was a singer!

You should listen to Franco Corelli’s version of Nessun Dorma. He was one of the best (if not the best) Calaf.

Beth it is such a pleasure to witness your pure excitement when you analyse one of your favourite performers. One can see in Luciano's expression at the end, that he knows he has surpassed his own superb high standards with that performance. The next best rendition, I think, comes when the majestic three sing this in the encore of this same concert.

Well, it has nothing to do with your finesse of mind, your apparent kindness. I've been enjoying them for several years now, and I keep coming back to them. but since you've been getting back into shape, your blue eyes, so ... 🙏🏻oh, my goodness, jumps out like a lagoon of serenity. You're bluffing, superb🤌. Am I being subjective, inappropriate? Yeah, so what? I'm Latin, from that island between France and Sardinia, where you don't have a sluggish temperament; so I won't do them like I'm reciting an instruction manual with an uptight, faulty air. It won't be fake-ass. That's what makes a compliment worthwhile, damn it. Be happy. Never wait for a good enough reason to. Go get it! Grazie per tuttu, Beth, stà cum’è tù sì.

Thank you for sharing this Beth. I have fond memories of my dad 'singing' along to many famous operas on the weekends. I still have his LP box sets of many famous operas. I think he loved LaBoheme the most with Pavarotti singing of course. If he didn't have the opera he would turn on his stereo receiver and listen to the simulcast of the Met Live from New York. We lived in Chicago and I am not sure if he ever saw Pavarotti live. He saw many operas at the Lyric Opera House in Chicago but whenever Pavarotti was scheduled to appear he would mysteriously cancel at the last minute. This behavior caused him to be banned from the Lyric Opera House by Ardis Kranik the director. As a side note it is nice to see that even in action movies Opera can serve as a backdrop. In Quantum of Solace Daniel Craig attends a performance of Tosca to learn more about a secret organization. In Mission Impossible Ethan Hunt tries to locate a terrorist at a performance of Turandot in Vienna. My dad had a decent voice but didn't know Italian so he just imitated what he heard. It didn't matter to him, I think expression was more important than any language barrier. Opera is very powerful, as any music that touches the heart. Thank you for the analysis and look forward to many more.

Sharing is caring There's a group on Zoom where each person shares a song from YT. Almost all songs chosen are from 70's 90's rock groups. I am the only classical music fan and have attempted to FORCE the others to expand their personal catalogs by requesting this piece. They were not annoyed, they loved this piece. Is it true that he NEVER bothered to practice/train?

I've watched an interview with his vocal coach. Apparently, he trained A LOT :)
