Feeling the same. In this vulgar world, we come across this! (Maybe homo sapiens doesn't deserve extinction?)

Beautiful wee soul

I never saw a child so enthralled by an operatic voice, I am amazed , so beautiful!

Agree!

oh please, give it a rest like the world has a bright future because of one child listening to a song. do you live in a ghetto

Woow . God bless her

What an amazing story. And your granddaughter being a coloratura soprano at the age of 16 is pretty impressive.

Kinder Gramma, your story about your granddaughter made me cry - so beautiful! 🥹

Tears...

This is such an amazing story! ❤

Honestly I still do that and I am 60

@@doonewatts7155 🤣😂🤣

That was cool. I'm glad it was caught on video. I once heard someone tell a story about visiting the Taj Majal with their 2-year-old. When the baby caught sight of it, he gasped and seemed totally enraptured. It's like beauty is a primal thing.

Gods Angels come in many forms and ways….the beauty,grace and energy connects us.

Loving it😇🥰 awesome 😎

Because this is one of the small things that keeps the darkness at bay. Not all tears are evil. ❤

my children were "sung" to sleep with lullabies of Schubert and Schumann. Nothing like the wisdom of a baby.

If one believes in reincarnation, than this sweet child is reincarnation of famous Ophra singer , an old blessed soul in a such young body ! May Buddha bless this child with good health and joyous meaningful life.

And me, eyes welling. Pavarotti is of course emotional but this baby just breathes the music. Very sweet.

The song alone makes me cry so an added innocent cute baby is floods of joy

I couldn't have said it better !

Well said!

As the great Picasso said, all children are born artists... music is one of the arts. Give your child the gift of the masters and it will stay with them for life. It is oxygen for the brain and heart.❤

you made a point - 100% d´accord !!

He barely, even blinked! It's like he just couldn't keep his eyes off the screen. This, was beautiful.

Which is why pre and post birth babies should hear classical mudic.

It is. But it makes sense. I get it. We intuitively know beauty. It’s life that beats that out of us

With mom or dad nearby with a camera to boot.

It was like he was conducting with his feet. Perhaps in his last life he was a conductor.

@@humblecourageous3919 I think right there he decided that I would become one.

Indeed. I wonder if the Bay was also trying to understand the words.

Were we watching the same video? He was acting like a baby stuck in front of a TV. My Sophie starts swaying and moving in time with the music and gets really animated.

Niño inteligente! Va a ser un grande

@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?

Me too🧸🐇🍼🎈🐥

Grazie to the Italian nation, for wondrous music, incomparable art, and food to satisfy the Gods! With love and respect from an elderly British lady. 🇬🇧

@@Boudicca165 gentilissima signora. This words are really heartwarming! If you feel all this emotions for Beauty in every aspect, you are an AMAZING soul for sure. Buona vita! 🇮🇹❤🇬🇧

@M.C.P. Thank you for those kind words, you have made my day so much better.🫠🇬🇧

Don't ever ask me about my job, capisce?

As much as I love Pavarotti's beautiful voice, my first thought was that it's even more the music of Puccini that touches our souls. This piece is powerful with any quality singer.

so important to introduce our little one to music and book...it opens their mind to better things...

I was exposed to beautiful music at that age. In fact, most folks of my generation were. Evening TV programming featured orchestras and classical luminaries. That's not the case today because "reality shows" are cheaper than paying recognized singers, dancers, and orchestras. It hurts me of when I listen to music like "Theme from a Summer Place" which was popular then--that would be allowed to the place and definitely wouldn't be appreciated.

I totally agree with you, when my 1st grandson was born I told his mother to let him mainly listen to classical piano as a newborn into toddler stage; emphasis on certain notes. She didn’t listen, but when my son got married & started his family he remembered me telling his sister. Some kids don’t listen and others do, and heed what they hear.

I couldn't have said it better!!

Couldn't agree more!

Because of health issues, I am required to have an MRI every 6 months at our gigantic hospital here in Atlanta. Have been doing this for 14 years. And for 14 years, as I have the MRI done, the Radiology Dept. puts their ear phones on me, and I spend the next 15-20 minutes listening to Nessun Dorma. I am in pure bliss, all stress removed, and I am smiling from one ear to the other listening to my favorite Opera.❤️

​@@carolcole570am in Atlanta too, what is that music therapy??

@@lxDastanxl LOL, just my own therapy since I detest MRI’s and the noise the machine makes. I even got my son-in-law to put the Nessun Dorma music on my cellphone as its ringer. By the way, my MRIs are done at Emory. Where do you live in Atlanta ? I am at Spaghetti Junction.❤️

When one experiences health issues of some concern, realization of the most important things in life truly are. Music gives joy. And joy is very high on that list! Bon chance, mon ami.

Did anyone else notice how seldom she blinked once she got into it?

One of my favorites!

His warm and embracing song is so beautiful.

@@emordilap - I'll have to watch it again, I think I missed that!

Thank you for sharing❤! That is so beautiful!

Never underestimate the power of early influences! We had a console stereo thing in the living room (we kids were not really allowed in that room back then, we had a den to watch TV, etc.). Anyway, mom listened to some "easy listening" station back in the early '60s, which included Sinatra and some pretty obscure stuff (by today's standards), and, well, it affected me years later. "There's a bluebird on my shoulder" (not Sinatra-- and the only line I remember from back then. Don't know the name of the song)). Anyway, I've had a healthy appreciation for classic stuff and some divine singing by the "Rat Pack" and others ever since. Yes: "Thanks Mom!"

My aunt gave me a "Child's Gilbert & Sullivan" when I was a little girl. I mean what kid doesn't like operetta? 😆But then, as an adult, I ended up joining a group that performs G&S , so it stuck.

Beautiful story! Thank you.

My Gran listened to Saturday at the Met every week. I knew Carmen before I knew it!

The child is mesmerized by the music not the”art form”.

Years ago, I read about a study that showed that children who listen to opera and classical music, even while they are in the womb, turn out much smarter than children who listen to rock, rap and country. I grew up listening to rock and country, but my father also liked the Lawrence Welk show. I enjoyed the show myself, when I was a young child. Now I like classical and opera, along with my rock and country. And I try to encourage young mothers-to-be to listen to classical and opera, although I usually get a look like I have a third eye or something. You'd think they would want to do everything possible to ensure they raise an intelligent child.

@@itsnotthesamething I grew up listening to classical music because of my dad…I was a straight A student, lol…maybe you have a point!

At the end the baby looks at mom like “mom this rocks.”

​@@Katrn30 This "Baby Pavarotti" may grow up to emulate the late Luciano as an opera divo.

Could the caption have been, “Baby shows zero reaction before, during or after Nessun Dorma?”

@@peterdelmonte9832 You didn't watch it very carefully.

That young Boy/ Girl could become a Opera fan. There's worst music to listen to.🇮🇹 🧐

Peter. You must have looked at something else not Pavrotti. Nessun Dorma Grande. The Boy/Girl didn't stop looking at Luciano. 🇮🇹 Grande.

@@brucekilby9957 And he started breathing heavily and his feet and hands were tensing up. I would say this baby definitely reacted very strongly to Pavarotti.

Great music will stop you in your tracks...... No matter how young or old you are!

Give Jussi Björling a listen ...

@@ttnyny Oh, no, no! Björling is a very good singer, but he is no match for Pavarotti. Pavarotti is the most beautiful tenor on the planet, no one in the world has ever had such a tone, nor does anyone today. There are many good tenors, Björling is good - but Pavarotti... That's a higher dimension.

Thank you for sharing this moment with us. I've forgotten how Pavarotti could tranxfix us! A fan in C T😢exas

It’s like watching Michael Jordan play on TV and seeing him play in person. It’s a whole other level and impossible to explain. You have to experience it to know.

It’s amazing! He was conducting with his cute little feet.😊

Isnt that a little girl??

@@robinmp8300 What difference does it make regarding the content of the video?

@@robinmp8300 who cares, it’s a human!

I think LP would have been pleased at the response, don't you?

@@scottjones1109 Very much.

Expose this little baby to the classic as he is growing up and it will be with him all his life. What a gift you would be giving!

@@RetiredLover You so correct i am now 75 and I remembered listening on Saturday evenings classical music with my dad. Still prefer it although I love all music.

Me too. I'll always be greatful to my mom for exposing me to classics of all kinds. It's enriched my life tremendously.

Pavarotti looked like a big hairy baby.

YEs!! All of that ...but also the feet and the toes!! So sorry Luciano didn't see this in his lifetime, because he would have LOVED it!!!

So nice... makes one believe in old souls

Beautiful music is food for the soul on the journey of life.

Please don't take Gods name in vain, it is a great sin.

@@cassiemiller7321 how about the pharisees praying too loudly to show how pious they are?

You are right! Aurora K.

I TAUGHT MY NIECE HOW TO APPRECIATE OLD TIME COURNTY MUSIC. SHE LOVED IT. HER FATHER HATED ME FOR IT.

Must not have much of a life

just beautiful ❤️👶

Amen!

What makes you so sure it's a girl? Lol, I thought it was a beautiful little boy. Either way, an enchantingly handsome child......how I would love to be able to rock and cuddle he or she in my arms. Babies are indeed God's greatest gift to us.

I also that the baby is a boy

I loved how she looked at her mom, I assume, filming and gave her a big smile, then turned her attention back to the music.

I was going to say her toes 😄

Children can be extremely perceptive and sensitive to music. My granddaughter (6) is growing up in a happy but not particularly musical home. I was moved and intrigued to see how transfixed she was, a year ago, by Bach’s St. Matthew Passion on the television, for more than half an hour, even singing along, in her own way, with the sopranos. Some people understand the language of beauty and complex emotions from an early age.

It was make me cry! He lefts the toy and he relaxes his arms and is completely attentive, at some point he even raises his chin like following the voice… then you can see he likes it because of the moment with the mouth, like eating, then moving the feet. So moving and cute! Thank you ❤❤❤

This! I kept expecting tears to form....understanding. This was so beautiful to watch!

I was expecting tears too...

Double K .................no baby sleeps tonight ????

You think it's a little girl. I would have guessed it's a boy. Can we know ?

@@magnacz I’m guessing this little cherub is a girl, based on her adorable pink outfit in another video. ❤ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJmHiqV1ubWxmKs.html

Nice to have a church choir x

All music is fine. All music is good. Except for the ones that are poorly written. However, it’s quite annoying how younger people today for the most part can’t appreciate classical music or at least respect it for what it is. I’m the second youngest in my family and yet my oldest brother is stupidly ignorant and once referred to an opera I was listening to as “Banshee screaming”. Really sucks.

What a sweetheart! she was enthralled by this!!! Your doing good by getting her acquainted with classics and opera.

I adore the opera but what do you jean by "the finer music?"

@@janeclarkson8471 I think she means classic music in general.

NOTHING has ever, or will ever resonate with humans the way music does. It is a significant part of the fabric of human existence. Imagine, if you can, what we'd be like had that first caveman not banged two rocks together-rhythmically?

Edith Piaf had the same effect upon my son at about the same age

Fascinating!!

❤

@@janmeyer3129 Edith Piaf -- I liked her rice.

And the parents.

The compositions of the Masters are eternal. Watching the reaction of this little one makes my heart soar because I know these composers & their music will never be forgotten.

💞🎼Puccini🎼💞

"This is the mystical power of music, and we are hardwired to receive it!" Absolutely.

@@gmvalentine626, I'm glad you liked that! I'm a musician, and I truly believe this.

It is strange that such a little baby could appreciate that kind of very dramatic piece of opera. Maybe he was just surprised

I believe the music touches something eternal inside his being that is very familiar to him.

Exactly...👍👍

So true and I don't think he is a toddler yet, he is less then 1. 🤔 😃

And felt it down to their dancing feet and toes💝💝💝

@@philomenameyer3812 I think HE was a GIRL.

Loved the music and the baby💕🌹.

I watced the feet too so involved and such Exstacy it seems

If it had been Rap or Hip Hop he would have probably have thrown himself out of the chair 😇😇😇😇

His feet, yes! Little feet dancing. It's not random because as soon as the music stopped, the feet did also!

He looked toward the camera to smile his approval and gratitude, and then went right back to watching and listening 😚

@@bobrail733 kkkkk Rap is normally aggressive

Yes, his feet!

Moi je préfère de loin Placido Domingo !

@@evelynejacquet5285 He hugged me too. And 1,000% GENTLEMAN! Whoever lied about him better not meet me on a dark night!

Puccini

I don’t suppose the composer Puccini had anything to do with it.

I was feeding peas to my BFF's baby, which she didn't like & didn't want to eat. As a way to get her to eat, I started humming "Votre Toast" ("Toreador Song") from "Carmen" by Bizet, as I fed her. When she had finished the peas & I stopped humming, she started to kick her heels against her high chair, in time with the music. I was stunned.

He also slowly stopped fiddling with the pacifier or whatever it was in his hand and set it down.

@@jwoolman5 I know. That is when you could tell he was totally taken in by the music & singing. His facial expression changed when Pavarotti started singing in his higher register. Tears also started welling up in his eyes. What a wonderful sight. It reminds me of the 1st time I heard Opera, on TV. I was enthralled & glued to the TV.

I noticed that, too, right around 1:10!

His feet 🥰

Yeah and did you notice the movement in his little feet?

When Pavarotti died, a world light went out. This song was him at his best.

Oh I'm totally with you, Rosetta! I often wonder why it's so... x

Thank you. I didn’t want to be the first to mention this. All of my animals and especially one empathetic cat LOVED any sort of classical music. They all hated any sort of rock or audiobooks though, except one cat would come running whenever I’d go to sleep listening to a Jeeves saga audiobook. Maybe he secretly wished I were a British butler?

@@just.joolie One of the cats also loved the sound of the glockenspiel in 'Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen' when we listened to The Magic Flute 😀

I have a cat story. I was at a friend's house who played a DVD of nature sounds at the beach. I was just asking if the calls of the gulls were natural sounding as a recording played through speakers when their cat came racing across the floor from another room! He ran up to the TV, was totally confused. After all, where were the birds? So funny, we knew that this was an expert and the gull sounds were totally authentic.

@@just.joolie I had a budgie who loved to sing along with Bocelli. But he also enjoyed Queen and Tina Turner 😆

yea my old dog used to come into the room from the hall where he was resting if i was playing classical music or accousttic guitar and plop himself down at my feet. The minute i changed to rock he would get up and go back to the hall.....love you forever rags

Good job on your part. "Gudari le strelle" sure, and also "teach your children well", as someone else once sang.

@@emordilap my mom exposes us to all kinds of music, from classical to modern to mariachi music and for some reason opera and classical music were so beautiful to my ears, so I made sure I exposed my daughters to them! My youngest sang in her school choir from kindergarten to senior year in high school, she performed at Carnegie hall in New York and many competitions in California and her high school choir is one of the best in the country which means it’s one of the best in the world! She graduated 6 years ago but Carries music in her blood!!

This baby is gorgeous with those beautiful soulful eyes. I loved watching her little feet too. Made me think that she was directing with them.

I cry when I hear that part. I can't listen to opera without becoming emotional.

Yes, we played ALL kinds of music for our kids from Raffi to Beethoven, to Peter, Paul and Mary to Andrew Lloyd Webber. When they were pretty young we took them to see Yitzak Perlman in concert. Even though our little girl fell asleep in the second half, she still experienced the best of the best IN PERSON. Living in/near Orlando, we routinely took them to see local music productions of Broadway classics that did not cost much. So if they got restless we could leave without feeling we hadn't gotten our money's worth. We'd play the albums at home prior to the event so they were familiar with the music, and of course, played them afterward to everyone's enjoyment. Finally we would take them to Broadway touring productions -- The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables stand out as performances they and we parents will never forget. Now that little girl has grown into a 38 year old woman who manages rock concert tours, traveling the world -- Sydney Opera House, Hollywood Bowl, China, Indonesia, Europe, Mexico, etc. YOU NEVER KNOW how those early childhood experiences will affect your child in terms of lifelong interests and even a career. NOTHING you ever do for a child is wasted. NOTHING.

Ohhh Andrew Lloyd Webber ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Con todo respeto, no la chingues, no compares Loyd Weber con Puccini...

Babies inside the womb listen snd abdord whatever is going outside. Ot is mentioned in the Hindu scripture .

He is also absolutely gorgeous!
