I'm italian. I know Pavarotti and I was lucky enough to hear him sing. But "Nessun dorma" makes me cry every time I listen to it. It opens your soul wide and the tears are nothing but the power of the emotion that explodes inside you. During the lookdown you heard "Nessun dorma" on the streets of all Italian cities, from the windows and terraces, to give courage and hope. Thanks for your video: it was exciting to see the reaction of the people who listened to Pavarotti for the first time. Thank you again.

They cry without even know what he is saying... powerful

I saw him live in Toronto. I was about 10 feet away from him. Ten thousand people were silent for a second and then jumped to their feet. Never has there been a more beautiful tenor.

Well done young people - dont forget to hand it down to your children. Love from England.

I'm 61 and I love opera (and every type of music) and I tell you, I was sobbing watching all of you hearing Pavarotti for the first time.

I’m crying watching these wonderful peoples reactions

I am Italian, May music unite peoples and nations!

Italy has given so much to the world . An amazing country and it's people. Love from Romania!

Aren’t we lucky to live in an era when we can listen to this man anytime we want. God bless you Luca

Young beautiful people listing to beautiful music 😁

Music is the only thing that every human can relate to. It allows you to experience emotions you never knew you had.

Almost like watching people witness a miracle firsthand.

Former Marine in my mid 70's and my reaction is like this EVERY TIME and I've probably listened to it 1000's of times.

Heard him live in Pittsburgh many years, ago. He is a force of nature. Not only can he make you cry, but the reactions of these beautiful people will bring more tears.

Pavarotti's voice was unique, its cadence, resonance, and power, his breath control and pitch were unsurpassed. The emotion he invoked in his audience drew many a tear, as it does still today, will there ever be another Pavarotti? I fear not. The passing of our greatest tenor has left an unfulfillable void to his passion and the world of opera, rest in peace Luciano.

I feel exactly the same every time i hear this, showing how we are all just the same

That music, that man don't speak to the brain, he speack to the soul R.i.p. Luciano

normally i think reactors (in general) tend to exaggerate a bit (it is their job) but i remember the first time i heard this and I reacted the same way in my room in the dark. so i buy it this time lol

He hits you in a place no other music can do. I sure miss this man❤️

I still cry when I hear his voice; miss him very much.

thats a Perfect example of that Music is universal. You dont have to understand anything but it moves you.

I’m sitting here getting teary eyed watching there emotions!! This is incredible!!

He doesn't just sing it, he lives it. You can almost see him switch the mood at the start, and you can definitely see him come back to earth at the end. I've seen oh, a couple of dozen of Nessum Dorma reactoins, and I never fail to be moved; as much from the reactions as from the man himself. What a priceless gift he gave us - music that reaches right down into your soul.

🇮🇹 Everyone with a sensible soul can appreciate it, no matter of the language, or the nationality of the singer; Pavarotti was italian, but in reality he belongs to all mankind. 🇮🇹

I will never understand why they pause when they get emotional, that's when you need to keep listening, that's when the music is at it's best.

Don't you just love how the Maestro makes singing it look effortless? Such is the joy of Bel canto singing.

Beautiful reactions! They looked so amazed haha xD Pavarotti is outstanding!!!

Music for anyone who has a soul.

Watching these people discover a 'new' music reminds me that we should ALL try new music out of our comfort zone and not dismiss it out of hand. We should al try turning the tuning dial on the radio occasionally . (That last comment shows my age, but I hope we all get the idea)

From the singer's emotion directly to the listeners' emotion. The perfect incarnation of Italian genius (Pavarotti + Puccini!) combines in the most surprising way with these wonderful young people, so full of life, so helpless facing this emotional attack, so vulnerable. Priceless video. I'm touched.

To be moved by music, is something magical 🖤

No matter how many times I see this performance, I'm floored by the sheer beauty and power in his voice. One of the best voices of a lifetime. Keep a tissue handy!

Pretty much still my reaction after 55 years 😍

I bet I've heard Pavarotti sing "Nessun Dorma" 50 or 60 times. Goosebumps, every single time.

What is so gratifying is that even when you know they are reacting as best they can, there is still nearly always a moment of innocent astonishment and joy that seems to overtake all listeners. Repeatedly, again and again. It's a rare performance.

So thankful we have quality recordings of his voice. After decades his voice still gives me goosebumps. ❤

One of the most stirring pieces of music ever! Transcends race and culture.

Beautiful singing Luciano iconic voice I love Italian singing opera wen Italians sing it's like a piece of art masterpiece

That's exactly what it's like. The first time I heard this I had the same reaction sometimes it's even more. He gives you his whole beautifully trained heart he holds nothing back

I just love this video. Wonderful young people hearing the master for the first time.

at 3:00, I feel you girl! It's like heaven opened up and allowed one of it's angels to sing upon us in mortal form.

Thank you for sharing this from a light sculptor from the Show Me state. I was reminded of the way I felt when I heard it for the first time sang by Aretha at the award show years ago. That was when I knew how amazing the song was, just because The Queen could sing anything even in a language I am not familiar with, in a langue I did not speak. You kids looked exactly how I felt. I did not know I needed this today. Thanks for helping me feel my smile!

I've heard this many, many times and it still gets me. It just doesn't get any better than this.

Bravo! Music touches our soul and crosses boundaries if we’re open. I had tickets to his last concert but he died just before. He was human and music fan himself. Also a lover of good food, wine and women.😉Respected them all. IMHO he would’ve appreciated all these rxns.

I’m Italian, I’d listen to Pavarotti thousand of times and I’m still crying on the last “Vincerò “ he was the voice of God! ❤️❤️❤️

I hope that this will inspire some young people, especially young Black people, to pursue studies and careers in classical music, especially opera. So many of those whom I have seen from the past have either died or retired. This music deserves to live on, and it belongs to everyone...all people.

Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear this beauty. Music and song bind us all together.

👍👌👏 Oh WOW! Simply fantastic and totally understandable reactions. This masterpiece of music absolutely always brings tears of joy to my eyes. I had it on VHS video cassette and watched especially this song over and over again until the tape became wrinkled. For my personal kind of taste Pavarotti was simply the best tenor. Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved people.

The reactions of these people truly proves that music is universal. It opens doors and creates pathways that didn't exist. To be able to enjoy the talent and passion of one of the world's greatest singers is a joy for whoever is fortunate enough to hear it. Music crosses borders, heals the sick and can bring us closer together. Great video.

His voice did reach the Heavens and they Listened!!

when that first lady came on I understoot the impact of Pavarotti

Watching these people experience this for the first time lets me relive the moment when I first experienced it and how transcendent and beautiful it really is.

His voice was just heavenly satisfaction at its purest. So powerful, yet smooth and clean. Truly a gift from God, it must’ve been an absolute privilege to hear such a magical sound in person.

What beautiful natural reactions to hear for the first time, I'm jealous.

In 1996 I was lucky enough to experience a concert of the 3 tenors ....

Looking into his eyes at the end just made me think, he just landed back to normality. Amazing.

I cry with awe each and every time...🇿🇦

Art is the shortest path from man to man.

Remember me my dad, passed out in 2015... the long sunday morning with the good old valvolar hi fi screaming heaven for hours... wake up and i feel like i was living a dream, my childhood become a fairy tales thanks to Maestro Pavarotti...

Now this is beautiful and so was Pavoritti's voice.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

This is one reason we shouldn’t be close-minded about other types of music. It’s all beautiful.

That's exactly the effect of "sublime beauty shock waves" 😊🙂 ... I'm very glad to see that you all appreciate and enjoy it, dear young friends ❤🙂 ... Personally, as an Italian man (Venice is my hometown) I must honestly say there are just few things of my country which I feel I could really be proud of ... but timeless, heavenly music like the operas of Maestro Giacomo Puccini makes me unbelievably proud of my homeland ... and our "Big Luciano" really was the most powerful, most admired ambassador of such a pure beauty worldwide ...

I was working in Italy during the 1990 FIFa World Cup,, this was being played everywhere, it was wonderful, I never get tired of hearing it. If it makes you cry, that's fine.

I can't imagine the raw talent and the hours, days, weeks, months and years of training to get a voice like Pavarotti's. He has been moving audiences to tears with Nessun Dorma for years. What an incredible talent that it would bring people to tears and give them goosebumps.

Race doesn't matter. When you hear or see greatness. You know. Hearing Pavarotti or Caruso hit the three notes, or watching Secretariat run. We all recognize perfection.

So wonderful! They’re making me cry!! I remember when I first heard this, (so, to those who will try to make this racist; there is a first time, white, black, whatever, to hear - and, grasp the depth of opera- as I was first getting into opera, (my own music until in my 30s was Rhythm & Blues- my heroes were Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, and Marvin Gaye- later I first heard my dad’s favorite and understood- the wonder of Mahalia Jackson!!! ❤️ ) Then, “Kind of Blue” Miles Davis: I listened to every morning for over a year!!! So, getting to share this with first-time black listeners (who introduced the first music that ever meant anything to me) understanding right away how spectacular is the aria AND Pavarotti is very moving to me! ❤️ It’s a lovely shared experience!

Music like this touches your soul. A gift from heaven.

I have personally had every one of these reactions to Nessun Dorma.

I don't know what he is saying either but he gives me goosebumps. Fantastic.

I mean I know how good Pavarotti is/was, but to see that he can brings so many people (esp. women) to tears, even if they understand a word, is magic :)

The Great Maestro named LUCIANO PAVAROTTI had the ability of using his exceptional voice for touching the souls of the HUMANS who heard his arias...... and the ANGELS stopped in fascination just to listen to this miracle voice of a MAN .

They had no idea what he was saying but the reactions were spot on. That was how he sang, he made you feel what the song was saying.

Un abbraccio forte dalla Sicilia Italia a tutti voi 😘😜👍

What a wonderful idea Grant Tribe had to capture these marvelous reactions to this beautiful aria sung by one of the most magnificent voices to walk the earth. Thank you!!

Vulnerability can be so beautiful.

I just cannot help myself, I try not to cry, but it is in vain. His voice touches something in your soul that you cannot protect or hide.

Not only was Luciano Pavarotti a great singer, but he was a wonderful person as well.

Glad to see these reactions. Learning experience for me and I took voice lessons in the 1980s (white)

I love how most of these reactions can be summed up with the mind blown emoji 🤯. Fun to watch!

I got a hold of the cello part which corresponds to the melody that Pavarotti sings, & I play it at home on my trombone. Clearly this music is universal & can help folks make it through the lockdown...George, Canada

I love watching these reactions. Everyone hearing Pavarotti for the first time was DEEPLY moved. Beauty, soul and greatness transcends all cultures. You might be interested to know that when Pavarotti was too ill to perform at the Grammys, Aretha Franklin was a last minute sub singing Nessun Dorma her way. Check it out. Two of the greatest singers of all times.

First girls' reaction was the most authentic

That last note Luciano saw the face of God,,,,,,,,,,yet survived!!.

The girl in the red colored tank top with a real short hair was the same reaction I had when I heard him the first time. absolutely amazing.

There Is More To Music Than Rap And HipHop....My Mother Made Me And My Brothers Explore....... Classical, Jazz, Country, Blues, Big Band She'd Order These Records Off The TV And Then Have Us Listen To Them! Opera's Ragtime...... It Is Very Enriching! Brings People Together! The World Needs This!

Amazing… keep doing what you’re doing and sharing the love! ❤🥲

Guys, As you probably know, Luciano Pavarotti has passed on. Recordings and videos will have to comfort us, until another with a voice that good is born and trained. Enjoy it. RIP, you are remembered and celebrated still.

Loved the way Pavarotti’s voice total captured the hearts and Emotions of theses reactors. The musical greats, no matter the genre, transcend all and speak directly to the soul itself!

I wish I could remember the first time hearing Pavarotti's Nessun Dorma. Is it just me or is anyone else envious of anyone who heard it the first time as an adult, without any idea of what to expect. It's really neat to experience this song with first time listeners.

I can't help but laugh when they cry, priceless reactions. Amazing how there are so many black reaction videos to his singing and they're all the same, didn't think they would appreciate opera.

It shows us that we are one, no matter where you come from or how you look like, love it 🥰

I’ve seen a very beautifully choreographed dance to Luciano Pavarotti’s, Nessun dorma. The second reactor should be the ballerina, she is so beautiful.

Absolutely outstanding, cried myself…. Unreal

Thanks for the video Grant. As an Italian-French i appreciated it much. Would be great also to explain to the viewers, a bit of the plot of the Puccini's Turandot for Opera beginners. Actually the "Vincerò" string has very positive motivational lyrics. I invite everyone just to read the plot and then listen it with the voice of the master. We actually use it before going to action when i was in the military. Peace to everyone.

I can't tell you how much joy it gives me when I see a young person able to experience the beauty of opera. There's nothing else quite like it.

I’ll never forget the time Aretha Franklin stood in for Pavarotti when he was sick at an awards night. Listened to his rehearsal tape and at a moments notice came out and belted this out. They were good friends and did him proud. Go check it out!!

This is wonderful! I am quite enjoying watching others see (hear) him for the first time. I cry every time I hear this as well. Very, very powerful!! Strangely enough, I heard Nessun Dorma for the first time watching The Witches of Eastwick! (I know!!). When I asked my Dad (an avid opera lover) what it was, he got all excited that I took an interest (I like rock), and gave me his Turnadot on CD, and explained what the opera and the song was about!

I sware he touches heaven and every time I hear it goosebumps cover my head!

My grandfather would listen to opera and smoke his cigar every night. I grew up hearing this.

Now that's reacting. Not stopping it and talking. Thank you.
