There were rumors that he lip synced this performance. I hate to admit it but it does appear his does. I believe he was ill at the time and that may have been why. The Great Luciano was about a year later. To me the man, the legend was the GREATEST singer I EVER heard. May God keep you and please know you were absolutely a gift to the world. I never knew you but when you passed I felt like my best friend was gone
@@markmencer1784unfortunately that was true. i mean it was freaking cold and he couldn't sing because he was already weakened by cancer. so they have to secretly recorded his singing few weeks prior to opening ceremony with one key down. Actually he didn't want to sing at all but he had to because Italian government baggrd for help.
It is true - it was play back. Unfortunately the circumstances insisted it - to play it safe, because he deserved an honorable goodbye performance. It was freaking cold and he was very sick with severe pain, so it would have been very risky. I don’t think it’s ”bad cheating” at all in that situation - and the recording was made only a week before, so it was truthful. I’m very happy that our beloved Maestro could have a dignified and well deserved goodbye. But dear Lord, I’m heartbroken for his suffering and early death. It’s incredible that despite it all, he still kept working in his final years, when he was very sick and in pain. It makes me speachless, all the work he still did for his fans, for the audience. For us, even though he shouldn’t have to; he had already done and given so much. May he rest in peace. I miss him dearly. ❤️
This man after a full role ( Calaf in Turandot )- stayed in costume 1996-97 season at the Met - and greeted every fan backstage in his dressing room - I was a young black tenor starting my first year in school in nyc - he was/ is my idol. I told him so and that great soul in his full costume gave me a hug , I will always not only remember his gift of a voice - but I will also remember his time and kindness towards me as a young artist - this soul did his Duty while on earth. Bravo maestro , Bravo!
Oh, lucky you! I’m at the same time very happy for you and a little bit jealous. That would have been a dream come true for me. ❤️ Unfortunately fate/God decided otherwise. I was born too late to meet him as an adult myself. Now at 25 I’m saddened by that, and I’m actually grieving for him. It’s really bizarre to miss someone you never knew personally, but no ca do. The feeling just exists.
The man was a GOD with his vocal ability. And had it right up until his extremely unfortunate demise. I loved you Luciano being a tenor myself with a god given gift. I always looked to you for inspiration. May you rest in peace now and bring sweet Jesus to tears with the gift he gave you.
Esta foi a última apresentação do Pavarotti. Dias depois, ele foi internado veio a falecer devido a um câncer de pâncreas. Tá aí um cara que jamais será substituído. Bravo Pavarotti ❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Dao je sve šta je im'o u sebi, čovječe! Ništa manje doli genijalac. Oprosti što smo te uzimali zdravo za gotovo, tek se sada vidi kolko si doprinosio svojim glasom u razvoju kulture i promociji opere globalno. Hvala ti za sve! Laka ti zemlja Luciano, zauvjek ćeš nedostajati!
No sé si conoces el dato de que fue un pleyba. Pavarotti dijo que con tanto frío y a esa hora él no podía cantar. La organización insistió tanto, que al final decidieron hacerlo grabando todo en unas condiciones climatológicas más adecuadas. El director dijo que él había disfrutado mucho haciendo que dirigía, la orquesta disfrutó haciendo que tocaba...y Pavarotti había disfrutado mucho haciendo que cantaba. Es la primera vez que veo este vídeo, pero conocía las declaraciones del director. Tengo que reconocer que lo hicieron tan bien, que parece un riguroso directo. Y habría disfrutado enormemente estando allí.
and who would have thought this emotionally charged introduction to the games would be a heart felt fairwell to one of this centuries greatest artists.
He feels this song so much, like a god touched him. What a wonderful man. If ever a man was made for a song....it's him. Wish I could have seen him live.
When I was like 12, I dreamed to be an opera singer because I heard of his voice…! Well music was not a path of my life but I have always loved your awesome performance! Love from japan
Imagine what he was thinking and feeling inside that evening.... during that performance, i would've pay milions to ever find out.... So sad i was never be able to see him live.... RIP Luciano, the best of the best.
My father and I had tickets to see Pavarotti in Washington DC but we never got the chance, as he fell too ill. Oh, how we wish we had had the chance to experience his magical voice in person. Truly the greatest tenor of our times.
@@lefinlay well you could say: “nobody sleeps!” or maybe “everybody mustn’t sleep”... or “don’t you f**** sleep!” ... but the idea is that this guy is commanding everyone not to sleep... that’s the meaning in Italian (or the real meaning)... so “nobody is sleeping” is certainly wrong, then what’s the best way in English language to convey the concept of someone ordering everyone not to sleep, I don’t know
@@AjejeB if it’s a command, then I would say “nobody sleep”. I’d need to see a translation in context though to make a proper judgement. I’ve often seen the same issue with “che gelida manina”. I’ve seen everything from “your tiny hands are frozen” 😂
i remember having a glimpse of opera in my voice pavarotti the grandiose was the idol for me , i remember as a child asking my mom if i would ever be able to witness him live and she was like ' how do i tell him ? ' R.I.P the best voice the planet ever heard
And the Master brings the house down! 🙏🏻😥 Apart from the fact that the whole performance was out the world, Maestro had shown for everyone how to withstand the illness 😥🙏🏻😇
Went to see his documentary movie last night. It was great. And the very last piece of the movie, was a blackout and then.... It was this man singing this song in Rome in 1990. I had tears running my face 💕💕💕💕
In pain. 13 months before his death. Wondering if it would be his final public performance. He was still more captivating than the other tenors. Whoever gave this the thumbs down has no soul whatsoever. RIP Maestro. King of the high Cs. Voice of the century.

Even the instruments, I remember it coming out that Yo-Yo Ma was playing to tape at Obama’s first inaugural and what he said was that the cold wasn’t great for the strings or something like that.
That was heroic act from his part.....and that last "vincero" ,my God! !!!!!,oh my god!!!!!!! I'll never forget it.Goose bamps and raging hair........a knot in my throat........
This was recorded 2 weeks prior, it was to cold and his deteriorating health made it impossible for him to sing, so they recorded it. The orchestra, the conductor and Pavarotti are all pretending in this.
Same. 2021. Forever. I will hold on to the beautiful memories of the beloved maestro and pray that I can see him in afterlife, if there indeed is one. I miss him so much. And hey - greetings from Finland, neighbour. 😊
Funny fact: in recent documentary the conductor said that, due to Pavarotti's health, the performance that has been shown in television had been pre-recorded the night before. During the live ceremony Pavarotti was miming. However, in both performances he didn't sing live.
Even though it was taped previously and played back...that was legendary. You don't really hear music made or sung like that anymore. I'm not sure we deserved his voice on Earth. At least God let us have him for as long as we did. Rest easy Luciano.
Luciano hadn’t hit a “Vincero” like that in a few years at this point. It’s like he went into a time machine real quick because he knew that this would be his final epic note. Grazie maestro, the greatest ever.
Aloha to Luciano Pavarotti, Ricardo Grigoletti and everyone else responsible for this visual !!!!! I love this man and have been blessed by his songs !!!!!! A most grateful fan, Robert S.J. Hu September 23, 2021.
Amazing performance, but the camerawork is an absolute crime against humanity. I wish there was a version where the camera just stays on Pavarotti instead of cutting around all over the place.
@@teddylovesit That was simply the best way you could have imparted that information in a comment. I was itching to say the same thing but you put it far better than I.

Such a unique and magnificent voice.In Pavarotti's expose we can feel strong emotions to his country Italy,his nation and his expression of love to his family.It is wonderful to see and hear him in opera.He is living part of opera.
@@larsgsanger3105 I heard it was recorded two weeks before. And it took so much effort, it was harmful for his health. The maestro was very ill and had terrible pain, but he still kept going on. He tried many times until he finally accepted the last version. After that he collapsed in his wheelchair exhausted and in severe pain. It makes me so proud of him, speechless really - but it also breaks my heart. I can’t stand the idea how much he suffered in his last years. 🥺💔 Respect (and affection, even love - I can say that even though it’s seen weird) I feel for him is endless. ❤️
flav' 🌸I was lucky to se him in an excellent concert on his farewell-tour in 2005, Stockholm Globe-arena🔸His singing was effortless and his ’Boheme C’s flew like butterflies💗Thanks for remembering the most beautiful tenor of our time, il lirico di Grande🧡❤️Molto Grazie !
They turned down the audience mike, which is understandable, but in the Italian recording of this event, they left it on. There is an interlude between first and second refrains, that a chorus normally sings, but this one last time, the Italian members of the audience BECAME the chorus--it was why LP almost broke down then. They knew it was his last performance, and it was their way of saying good-bye. This is higher quality video, though, so there's good and bad on both.
This was the last public appearance by the greatest tenor of all time.
Luciano… We love you, and we miss you.
😭
how old were you when he passed away in 2007?
Untouchable, we have lost all our greatest most beautiful. Will be long time before something close
This was actually pre-recorded because he couldn't actually sing this in Sub-Zero temperature

Lip sync to prerecorded music.
He did not have cancer in this occasion, it would only come out months later
2:24 The note. He died less than 2 years later. I love how he held the pose at 2:44 as if he knew it would be his last time on a big stage.
He looks like crying
I was 5 years old during this ceremony but I always remember this performance
I was 2, living in Manhattan until I moved upstate a few months later!

From Wikipedia:
On 10 February 2006, Pavarotti sang "Nessun dorma" at the 2006 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Turin, Italy, at his final performance. In the last act of the opening ceremony, his performance received the longest and loudest ovation of the night from the international crowd. Leone Magiera, who directed the performance, revealed in his 2008 memoirs, Pavarotti Visto da Vicino, that the performance had been recorded weeks earlier.[28] "The orchestra pretended to play for the audience, I pretended to conduct and Luciano pretended to sing. The effect was wonderful," he wrote. Pavarotti's manager, Terri Robson, said that the tenor had turned the Winter Olympic Committee's invitation down several times because it would have been impossible to sing late at night in the subzero conditions of Turin in February. The committee eventually persuaded him to take part by prerecording the song.

flav' 🌸I was lucky to se him in an excellent concert on his farewell-tour in 2005, Stockholm Globe-arena🔸His singing was effortless and his ’Boheme C’s flew like butterflies💗Thanks for remembering the most beautiful tenor of our time, il lirico di Grande🧡❤️Molto Grazie !
ILove opera ❤Pavarotti existing forever
🌹🙏❤️
They turned down the audience mike, which is understandable, but in the Italian recording of this event, they left it on. There is an interlude between first and second refrains, that a chorus normally sings, but this one last time, the Italian members of the audience BECAME the chorus--it was why LP almost broke down then. They knew it was his last performance, and it was their way of saying good-bye. This is higher quality video, though, so there's good and bad on both.
There will never be another
Wonderful.
Brilliant Pavarotti! Last performance!

Absolutely beautiful
