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.

Congratulations! đłđ±
*When he hit that last note, I was expecting the heavens to open and beams of light fill the earth.*
No such luck,wink.
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 âdaddy, whatâs opera?â. I got my phone and told him I was going to show him. On the last âVinceroâ he started to shake and his mouth was wide open, tears falling through his eyes. When the video ended, I told him âthatâs opera, I watched this when I was a child and I felt exactly how you feel right now. This is why I love operaâ. He said nothing, but I could really see he was genuinely impressed and didnât know how to express himself.
opera is a browser.
Ăpera Ă© a linguagem da emoção!
Apenas coraçÔes sensĂveis conseguem compreender.
He didn't even sing this. He LIVED it. Just his facial expressions after the grand finale alone. Absolutely stunning performance.
"Don't get relationship advice from operas."
Truer words have never been spoken. đ
Nor from Eastenders
@@thomasmacdiarmid8251?
Not even Marriage of Figaro? :)
@@guitargamesandliverpool Beth had compared the plots of operas to soap operas and used a scene from Eastenders as an example. So I was continuing her comparison.
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.
That is ambitious, I love it
I grew up listening to Punk, Post Punk, and New Wave. I love Metal (death and black metal are favorites), and Alternative. My whole musical life, is dark, hard-hitting - sometimes vulgar - lyrics, and loud, heavy sonics. And Pavarotti brings me to tears every time. Go figure.
By the time I was listening this one song I was like 18 years old (1989) and I also was listening medieval music and discovered Slayer and Metallica đ Also alternative and postpunk. We should start a club đ Regards from Chile!
Metal and opera have much in common. The emotion and drama!
I'm a dude that only listens to metal yet I like opera like this and classic music. If you ask me, if a lot of the classic composers were born today they would probably have been metal artist
This is olympic gold medal winning performance .
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. Unbelievable how he could sing so quietly and so loud at the same time. He has a version Caruso (featuring Jeff Beck) in the album Ti Adoro which is phenomenal too.
It's the second best for me. Nobody beats Jussi Björling
WHO is Jussi Björling? My favorite Pavarotti aria is â e lucevan le stelleâ by far..
@@michaeldr.thalwitzer5580 Jussi Björling is the Swedish tenor that was Pavarotti's idol and that he always studied before tackling a new role
@@michaeldr.thalwitzer5580 Among the legendary tenors, Jussi was considered the slightly better singer, but Luciano had 1000x the charisma.
@@antivanti Jussi never took the role to the stage. To me, Corelli was the best Calaf, as he was to only one who could stand a chance singing against Nilsson.
Doesnât matter how many times I hear this, never fails to give me goosebumps.
Insuperable, inigualable, irrepetible,unico y eterno Pavarotti â€â€â€
Wonderful piece of music! As an English male who loved this as the soundtrack to Italia â90, this always gives me goosebumps. Quite amusing that there will be 1000âs of Englishmen who canât speak a word of Italian (me included) who will sing along to this!! I love to see the obvious joy you get from this. Lovely.
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! He is amazing!
Only deaf or insane not to like Pavarotti. đ
I'm a regular guy. But hearing and seeing that last note and especially the incredible expression on his face that had to come from an almost hyper-human effort had me in tears! He was like no other in my opinion.
The choirs always give me goosebumps!
Pavarotti was the greatest and best I knew.
His voice was soft and clear. He will never be forgotten by those, like me, who admired him.
Greetings from Brazil.

I see so many vocal coach reactions and analyses here on youtube but I came across your channel and your podcast first and I gotta say...Among the dussins of vocal coaches channels here you are the only one who proper analyze the singers and back it up with experience and theory. Thank you Beth!
Thank you so much! Although I would check out Fairy Voice Mother, she is fantastic!
True!
People that know about Opera, the story is the thing that is important, and the "story teller" are the people that get famous... Pavarotti is one of the best "story" tellers of all time, always will be :)
That's the face of a man awakening from a deep trance realizing that he just gave his everything and has achieved perfection. A musical orgasm.
This version is truly great. I came across this one here on CZcams a long time ago, and I love it: The best Nessun dorma - Luciano Pavarotti - Turandot - Puccini. He's young in this one and really holds notes for a long time.
Wonderful reaction and explanation! One of the many qualities of Pavarotti's technique is his ability to make all the words perfectly intelligible. Wonderful voice. His famous "high Cs" in Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment are still unparalled to this day: the apparent ease with which he could belt them out is impressive. Thank you for honoring his memory with this beautiful video.
Liquid gold for my ears.
If you are looking for emotional versions. Look no further than Jussi Bjorling and his incredibly emotive voice. it was said that he could bring tears out of fully grown up men and even stones...
And Jussi was Pavarotti's favourite. In fact he would always study how Jussi approached a piece before tackling it himself
this song takes me back to the best times in my life, powerful and tearful every time
This makes me proud of my country đ„čđźđč
As often as I've heard Nessun dorma, by, Pavarotti and countless others, this was so helpful! The combination of your explanations and the camera's view up into Pavarotti's mouth really clarified things. Thank you! Now I need to run through all my other favorite tenors and check whether they start with that nasal consonant the same way.
I truly enjoy your reactions, Beth! Keep them coming!
So much fun to watch Beth go crazy over great singing. đ
You've really upped the quality of these reaction videos! Love it!
Glad you like them!
@bethroars I've listened to this dozens of times and just seen your wonderful, joyful reaction ! Thanks so much đ
That B is the greatest note in all of music đ
Beth, I love this reaction! Your analysis and recounting of the story are great, but I most appreciate your own dramatic response to Pavarotti's transcendent performance! Brava, Beth! đâ€ïžđšđŠ
Just amazing!!!! What a performance
Pavarottiâs duet with Tracy Chapman of her song âBaby can I hold you tonightâ is absolutely stunning
Tracyâ€
Pavarotti was uniquely talented by the real genius here is Giacomo Puccini, the arias from his operas are music from heaven
Thank you Beth. I really enjoyed this analysis of Pavarotti's performance
Loved to see your enthusiasm. I always get teared up when I hear Pavarotti sing this.
For a comparison on the delivery of "vincero", look up Jussi Björling singing Nessun Dorma. There's a video of the recording from 1944 floating around here.
Thank you for explaining why Pavarotti was so exceptional. I also appreciate the discussion of how opera music sometimes differs from other singing.
This is just a completely iconic performance. I feel like I saw that shot of him hitting that big note a hundred times back in the 90s, before I'd ever actually seen the performance itself. And his face after it is just amazing. He's like, "Oh my god, that was historic!"
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.
Very nicely reviewed Beth. I have been watching Pavarotti sing this version of Nessun dorma ever since I bought the DVD of this exact Three Tenors Performance long ago.
It looks so effortless, just insane:)
i love this song and performance.
Also worth noting is Pavarotti's breathing during the last "vincerĂČ". How he tops of between "vince" and "rĂČ", 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.
Thank you! That was very interesting, and a great reaction. Your explanations though,, I've watched a lot of reactions to this. And probably at least 4 vocal coaches, but you explained some things that no one had mentioned in just the right amount of detail. Without over explaining, which is massively appreciated đđđ€Ł
P S. I'm half Italian, and always liked opera. I know this from the 1990 world cup like you said, lol. It worked sooo well
If you like Pavarotti's voice in this. You should listen to U2's "Miss Sarajevo" with Pav. playing an integral part in the song. It was live and he brings the house down with a single note!!!! Just search: U2's "Miss Sarajevo"
That final Note touches the stars, and the heavens open,in my opinion. I have listened to this version so many times, but it never fails to touch my heart. Pavarotti truly was the master.
Pavarotti the absolute Legend! you should do a reaction to the "A mes amis" aria from his 1972 MET performance of La fille du régiment! 9 absolutely effortless high C's gave him a record of 17 curtain calls. He drove the crowd crazy!
Thank you! In my opinion the best analysis of this performance I have seen on CZcams so far!
Wow, thank you!
Beth,
You asked for another emotional version of this. Dan Vasc (a metal singer) will blow you away! Totally unexpected.
Enjoy-
I always get the shivers listening to this masterpiece.
DAN VASC!!! I heard Pavrotti sing in concert in Miami in 1986 I believe. No one since has driven me to tears with Nessun Dorma, UNTIL Dan Vasc. His version doubles the ending. Dan may have one of the best trained voices in the world today.
I've never fully understood why, but this song and his performance always brings tears to my eyes. It affects me this way every time I hear it. đą
Goosebumps - every single time I hear this .....
What a great reaction video to one of the greatest songs ever! Keep up the great work!
Peak, incredible performance - astonishingly this is quite a way from Pavarotti's peak voice which was much younger. Shows us that perfection is not "perfect".
He has given all his blood in this aria.
Really!
The lyrics are beautiful. The story so to speak.
Imposoble que una maestra de musica o analista nunca hubiera escuchado esa cancion y version antes
Believe it or not, there is a video out there of Pavarotti singing a duet with James Brown of It's A Man's World.
And Ian Gillan. Cool and odd.
Miming a duet - "Pavarotti and friends" was a pre-recorded affair.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Where is the evidence of that. They are actually8 on stage together. That much is clear.
@@thsc9119 There was an NYT article on Pavarotti and his lip-synched performances that started in the 90s...not sure if that article specifically adressed the James Brown duet, seeing it was standard practice to mime appearances like that, but there are other articles I have seen, just don't remember which publication covered which.
@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee Watch it and tell me you see any evidence it wasn't a live performance.
Thank you đ
Acho lindĂssimo e emocionante.
Enche o coração de alegria e os olhos de lågrimas!
Bravo! đđđ
Beth, I love you. I truly adore you. You have an amazing personality, are so smart, have a beautiful smile (which melts my heart), and youâre so pretty.
I love your breakdowns of all genres of music. I know you teach music for a living, but my God, you really, really know your stuff. Bravo to you meâ Lady.
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.
Que bella canciĂłn y luego cantada por un grande de la mĂșsica en el mundo como Pavarotti fascinante la veo radiante y mĂĄs bonita a decer por su trabajo discografico y su gran vĂdeo reciente felicidades señorita Beth đđđđ
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.
Probably this performance of nessun dorma is the best of any time played by Luciano Pavarotti. Probably is due to the fact that it has been an abstract of the entire opera without having due to support the effort of the wole drama. His voice come out in the entire powerfull, clear and understendable. R.I.P. Luciano. Nobody will surclass you, at least in this opera.
I don't know if this song moves certain strings in my soul, but I always end up crying when I listen to this masterpiece, haha.
Excelente tu reacciĂłn, realmente me cautivaste. Muchas gracias por los subtĂtulos, ya que no sĂ© inglĂ©s. Saludos desde Ciudad de Guatemala en Centro AmĂ©rica.
Beautiful...đđđđŒđ¶đ”đ¶đ”đ¶đ”đ¶đ”đ¶đ”đ¶đ”đ¶đ”đ¶đ”đđđđđđđđđ
Top-notch reaction to a legendary performance. Listen to that audience. Do you think they might agree? Thanks for your insights, Beth. I always learn something from you.
You're the first vocal coach that explained the context of "Nessun Dorma" in Puccini's Turandot.
Hi Beth! Love your comments!
I just want to share a 'humble' story about me and Pavarotti, the UN, and the elevator.
Oh my! In 1998 I celebrated the UN's 50th of the Commission of the Status of Women. A banging event. I was leaving the event - with Pavarotti and Wynton Marsalis -sharing the stage.
I got to be, at the end of the event, in an elevator - with Pavarotti, Marsalis, Kofi Anan (the UN Secretary General) and his wife Nan. WTF. Pavarotti was still sweating. Marsalis was still holding his horn. Jesus. Nan and Kofi were just nice people.
Dear lord. Hah! :)
Beth. You might look into Wynton Marsalis moving forward.
Keep up the good work!
Pavarotti was very inspired by the Swedish opera scene and obviously Jussi Björling in particular. It's very apparent in his style that he always studied Jussi before tackling a new piece. In fact Pav once said that just being compared to Jussi was the greatest honor he could ever wish for
It was more that Jussi was the "most Italian" of tenors on account of his Swedish heritage, as he did not have a regional accent to overcome.
Nicely done
Master of masters, the best ever!
His face when the final note hit seemed like he touched the absolute
An opera piece is nothing if not dramatic. And must be one the most specialized styles of singing of all. As he cuts off the final note, his face is stark with amazement. And then relief washes over him as the power of his own performance has brought the hall to rapture.
Huge fan of Pavarotti (and of you!)
I sort of use my voice for my work .. definitely not a singer! Couldn't carry a tune in a bucket!.. but I have learned so much about voice and breath control from you over the last many months. So, thanks!
Carry on! I'll be around.
Perfection.
Well done Beth.
Well done.
Il Maestro Pavarotti ha segnato un'era, che ancora oggi riecheggia in chi, purtroppo sempre meno, ama l'Opera Lirica.
Well done dear.
ÂĄWONDERFUL! đđđ
Brava!!
Greatest Singer of all Time đđ»
Iâm not sure if itâs a myth, but I remember hearing that there was a Nessun Dorma B&B or hotel. Which is amusing when you know that it means âNone shall sleepâ.
Also love the man as a person he has so much jokes and so humble. My fav. clip of him is where he signs "O solo mio" with Bryan Adams. A singer you wouldn't combien with him but in that clip you can see the respect he has for Bryan and you can even see him joke around and at random moments point at Bryan to sign at moments that wheren't rehearsed just to mess with him :D
đźBeth, Iâve watched this dozens of times. So this time I focused on your face and your reactions as you became a Fangirl, basking in the spectacle that is Pavarotti.
I completely agree, never take romance advice from opera. His version is simply, the best!
you are very talented regarding knowledge of the voice and i must admit beautiful aswell.
Wonderful
That was such a cool commentary. Could have listened for an hour to your explanations.
You should listen to Franco Corelliâs version of Nessun Dorma. He was one of the best (if not the best) Calaf.
He was the best on stage - Bjoerling and Pavarotti could match him in the studio where there smaller voices were less a liability.
Opera does often have klutzy storylines...but the music is absolutely stunning...taking your breathe away when a master sings the aria of a masterpiece. This is an example...proof perfect.
Pavarotti is my favourite opera singer, and i really love when he sings Leoncavallo's Pagliacci.
It is possible to argue that the character Calaf lends itself to being performed by other types of voices, within the tenor range, but it cannot be denied that Luciano Pavarotti made this aria even more famous in modern times.
numero uno Pavarotti. đ
Pavarotti was an outlier as a Tenor, so unique he made me appreciate opera, like anything that is a high performance in life, he was effortless made it look easy to reach.
ok Beth !
ed il mio bacio
scioglierĂ il silenzio
che ti fa mia.
enough said !
đźđč âââ
I love that you explained that Opera isnât filled with stories about lovely people. It amuses me that my music-loving mother at a very young age listened to the Met on Sunday afternoons after having read the storyline of the opera ahead of time! (Iâm talking 6-8 years old!) Iâm amazed my very Victorian grandmother thought that was suitable literature for her little baby!
Only he could have sung like that. Grande Italiano.
Deep Purple was a part of Pavarotti's annual fund raising tour in 2003. And Ian Gillan said to Pavarotti that Nessum Dorma is really a great rock ballad, and therefore they sang this as a duet. I don't know how many rocksingers that actually would came up with the idea to that. But you can of course check it out on CZcams.
