Ok fine. I like Opera... Vocal Coach Reacts to PAVAROTTI "Nessun Dorma" (first time analysis)

For sixty years, I weep every time I hear him sing this. It's pure audible emotion.

Your tears while watching and listening to this performance - I’m right there with you, Lolli, every time.

Pavarotti singing Caruso is also quite an experience. He is my favorite opera singer of all time

For all those who are not into Opera. This clip is from a recital, where Pavarotti is singing different "arie", little pieces from different Operas. You can think of Opera like a musical before cinema was created. The story is narrated by music and acting, and is usually full of passion, deaths, betrayals and every kind of thing that can make the audience emotional. And every singer must also be an actor. This aria is from Turandot, a beautiful but maleficent princess who kills every guy who wants to marry her but is not able to answer three riddles. But the prince Calaf is in the end able to give the right answers. Calaf is in the end forced to make a riddle to Turadot and he ask "What is my name?". And in this aria Calaf is waiting for the sun to rise, when he will be able to marry the princess. That's why he says "the mystery is within me" and "at dawn I will be the winner". If you want to have a glimpse of what Opera really is, I can suggest you to check the aria "Vesti la giubba" performed by Pavarotti (with subtitles). Cheers

I saw him in concert, in the 80s. He was SO GOOD!

You're so beautiful when art makes you cry. You make the art more beautiful.

Would love to see you react to opera legend Jussi Björling. When Pavarotti once was compared to him he said "Please I'm only human" which shows how humble Pavarotti was. Björlings version of Nessun Dorma is so angelic, and his swedish version of O Holy Night (O Helga Natt) is so powerful as well. Truly one of the masters.

I've seen dozens of reactions to this performance. This is absolutely the best. Elizabeth's analysis is now #2. Lolli, I hope you know what a compliment that is!

I’ve been listening to Pavarotti sing for 45 years, and crying to this one for the same amount of time. Thank you so much, Lolli.

I've watched more than a few reactions/analyses of this performance and you're the first one to comment on what happens AFTER Pav finishes the last line! He has such an incredibly fierce expression on his face, as if his entire being is wrapped up in the moment, and it takes him a few seconds to come back to this world.

Someone: I don't like opera Luciano: Hold my vino Him singing this, is my favorite piece of classical music, period. Thank you for your awesome reaction and analysis.

When I am in an opera listening mood, I always include La Momma Morta by Maria Callas. Those five minutes can only be called soul-piercing.

I'm a metalhead, but if you don't cry to this, you're dead inside..

Smiling, crying, cussing, speechless. Lolli got the whole shabang. Obviously Elizabeth Zharoff analysis would make the most sense.

Thank you for this reaction. Other opera performances worth reviewing: - German soprano Diana Damrau singing the Queen of the Night aria from Mozart's Magic Flute at the Royal Ballet & Opera. Her performance is terrifyingly good with high F notes that are the standard for every soprano. - Swedish tenor Jussi Bjorling singing O Helga Natt (O Holy Night). You'll feel his power in your bones. Pavarotti was a great admirer of Bjorling for good reason. - Norwegian soprano Sissel Kyrkjebo singing either "Pie Jesu" or "O Mio Babbino Caro" at a 2002 televised concert from the Oslo Spektrum. If you want to hear the voice of an angel, listen to Sissel.

Your are absolutely the best at Anatomical Forensic Vocal analysis by description, demonstration, and translation! Your emotional description conveys and complements your analysis. Pavarotti's version and performance of Nessun Dorma is definitely the best Tenor performance ever!!! I have listened to Pavarotti for over 30 years and never knew how he did it. You helped me get one step closer. You are never too old to learn!

🧞 .. Why does the voice make us weep ? In a song high , or in a song deep , where in the words does that power reside ? Shall the tears fall , for we don't decide. They fall as they wish as the song swings and sways , and our souls hold what the singer portrays. Why does the voice make us weep ? Let your tears fall , they are not yours to keep. ....... Hi Lolli. I met Mr. Pavarotti at an event and was able to speak with him. I almost cried just hearing him say hello. .. 🧞

If you are doing more opera singers I have two requests: Jussi Björling (by many, including Pavarotti considered the best there ever was) Elizabeth Zharoff (The Charismatic Voice)

'Nessun Dorma' lyrics translated to English Nobody shall sleep!... Nobody shall sleep! Even you, o 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!

so nice to hear your take on his execution, your expressions are priceless and so heartfelt, music is powerful
