    The man leading the orchestra is the conductor not the composer. Puccini was the composer 100 years ago.
    Pavarotti was one of the most amazing tenors in the world of opera

    For anyone wondering about the bit at the end where he looks stuck, that's actually what happened. When Tenors hit a power note, it's difficult for us to let go of the power. Something in the chest doesn't want the resonance to end and tries to hold on. I've experienced it a couple of times, it's like you're wielding a ball of fire. That's why the tenor is always the hero

    • @gailanderson7217
      @gailanderson7217 Před 25 dny +5

      It's similar for sopranos. Different than the "o" but your whole body, down to your toes, resonates with those high frequencies and the volume and it's sublime. My very gentlemanly elderly vocal coach, a tenor, once asked very delicately what the high notes feel like for a soprano. He'd always wanted to know but didn't want to offend anyone by asking. I was the only one he dared ask and he approached the subject very carefully. My answer was they're very different sensations but I'd be hard-pressed to choose. He nodded thoughtfully and murmured, "I thought so. I thought so."

    • @calebmorrow96
      @calebmorrow96 Před 25 dny +3

      @gailanderson7217 nice! The high frequency of vibrations is why it's so hard for Tenors and Sopranos to hold in to their voice longterm unless you really take good care of it. I'm always impressed when I see someone in their 60s still going strong

    Here is a cool comment from one of your subscribers. My grandmother was the program director of Carnegie Hall from 1985-2001. I met Luciano Pavarotti several times!! The 1st time that I met him I was 14. Right after rehearsal we went and got Haagen Dazs ice cream--hahaha!! He wanted to "soothe" his throat. I was in a Boy Choir at the time and asked him about the ice cream. He said," HOT before singing and COLD after singing. Always. Got it? Good Boy. " I will never forget that exchange--hahaha. He was so cool and casual. He loved my grandmother (who just passed on November 18th 2023 at age 89). To me, he was a kind man first & THEN the greatest operatic 2nd Tenor EVER!

When it was my turn to run the after school detention, I brought a boom box to work and played Pavarotti. It not only was calming and relaxing for me after a long day, I found it did the same for the kids! lol I had admins walk by, look in, and were surprised at how well behaved the kids were! Any kids that complained, I told them that they shouldn't get detention anymore then. Simple. It was a win-win!

They were also on the next World cup 1994 in the US. And after that it became a bomb. Pavarotti, Carreras and Domingo toured the world with Three tenors show and played on stadiums like rock stars. It was huge and lasted until 2003.

    It was from the opera Turandot by Giacomo Puccini and this piece is one of the most recognized by the world and Luciano made it his own! He was fantastic and one of this world’s greatest tenors ever.
    You should look into more of the 3 tenors concerts they were epic!

    Opera is a genre for all people, whether or not they realize it. You are 100% right that the emotions come through the music and you can feel the meaning, even without knowing the language. Freddie Mercury (of Queen) was an opera lover and a huge fan of Montserrat Caballe, a Spanish opera star. He wrote operatic music to perform with her & if you want to experience a stunning performance, check out their performance of "Barcelona".

How?? I love classical ,l so admire opera singers they have to be trained on how to breath , project ,etc...they don't just belt it out they are conscious and aware of every part of their breathing, lungs, chest ,vocal cords, throat...amazing talent!

    Thank you for this. What I appreciated about Pavarotti was, although he was blessed with a beautiful singing voice, he did not hide the fact that to sustain these notes properly and get the right tone, and a whole lot of descriptive musical words that I don't understand, you have to be dedicated and train for years. And as you say, he always left it all on the stage. There are other tenors with beautiful voices, but he also had the passion which was just undeniable. Good morning! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

    There is not one singer like Pavarotti. He is the greatest tenor of all time. It's not just his vocal skill, it's his delivery and his stage presence. When he walks onto a stage, every woman in the audience pays close attention to his every move and every note. He is totally captivating. It's hard to describe unless you have been in the same room as an opera singer. The volume they sing at hits you in the chest like a punch. It's an overwhelming and powerful feeling to hear that live. I experienced it once and I'll never forget it.

    The title "Nessum Dorma" literally translates to "LET NO ONE SLEEP". It first premiered in 1926, two years after the original playwrite (Giacomo Puccini) died in 1924. As you probably know, Operas are all about the story itself: In TURANDOT, the story takes place in China and follows the Prince Calaf, who falls in love with the cold Princess Turandot. In order to win her hand in marriage, a suitor must solve three riddles, with a wrong answer resulting in his execution. Calaf passes the test, but Turandot refuses to marry him. He offers her a way out: if she is able to guess his name before dawn the next day, he will accept death.
