could you imagine how scared these performers must be? it's like if you had to recite your poetry for shakespeare

Big Luciano nailing a soprano part in falsetto, omg he could do anything with his incredible voice and actor skills.

"The top is there -- beautiful -- don't worry." Wouldn't you like to hear Pavarotti tell you that?!! But great advice about holding back. Makes the contrast to the high note much richer.

I was taught Bel Canto and my teacher said " imagine the consonants like pegs on a clothes line. Sing through the consonants but always maintain the legato line". Also, if you are coming to the part that is important and forte, sing mezzo piano, or mezzo forte, at most, beforehand to highlight it; and let the music breath, using a little rubato which gives the shape to the legato line. It is what the maestro is saying and what I was taught.

I know nothing about the technicalities, but it is beautiful to watch a Maestro at work. Thank you. This is what KZfaq is about. 🙏

The perfect voice teacher is the one who produces such wonderful sounds himself: none other than the wonderful Luciano Pavarotti. This soprano is really talented herself.

03:56 his voice is just😍😍 I can't, I wish there was a complete version sung by him

I love how he throws in some Italian here and there LOL

Considering the circumstances, this young lady coped magnificently. This situation is far more foreboding than any live performance. Any critics on here should get up and do it, or simply shut up!!

At 6:20 part of what I think the Maestro is saying is that you sing on the vowel. Poco piu largo - a little longer - meaning that you have to get to the vowel (still respecting and relishing the consonants) because that is the part you sustain on. This is part of the basis of legato singing and bel canto. He gave very good masterclasses and good instruction. I miss him. :)

What a master storyteller he was! Watching him teach others now I know why everyone I watch him I’m so mesmerized…

Wow her top notes were incredible. So clear and full of color.

Man, he is exactly right on---she gets better each time. A LOT better.

Pavarotti really knows his art and to top it off he is compassionate If it’s true he couldn’t read music it’s more important and true that he lives and understands the music as an example a person can speak a language beautifully but not be able to write it Only thing that’s important is conveying to the listener the message

What a wonderful time we have lived in to be able to see and hear something completely magical like this, I was melting as she sang that final try, what a beautiful woman and a voice like an angel

Mother of god, he is an epic real magister vocal coach.

Very insightful and useful comments from Maestro Pavarotti. The difference between competence and truly great singing.

How beautiful and gracious this woman and Luciano ...just missing him

He is just so wonderful, amazing and brilliant. I just love him. ❤️

It is true what his mother said to him... something in my chest moves everytime I hear him sing😍😍

beautiful singer beautiful man rip

Divine voice. Can really float the tone.

Oh God... how I miss him! :(

That was Fabulous. Powerful. Emotional.

In a hundred years they will say the name Pavarotti before Caruso.

Вот она,художественная правка Паваротти.Детали,которые ускользнули от заслуженной певицы и,возможно,её педагога.Великолепный голос,нечего сказать.

I used to watch this show on TV back when PBS was worth watching. Now it's just the dullest documentaries, financial advisors, and lectures on the medicinal benefits of enemas.

Her Music is so beautiful

AHH fabulous. Working on this aria now and loved his advice!!

Total genius. I played with maestro in the 90ties. Being impressed is saying poca cosa. He is such a music "beast". He knows exactly what to do

9:12 dat face, though

I think i need that 8:10 voice be my ringtone.. How could his voice sounds mesmerizing even when he make some chicken sound... Damn..

Wow. Such excellent instruction. I do not understand the technicalities of this art, but as an audience/listener, I understand which parts of the piece I hold my breath to hear. I love how he instructed her to "buttare" the phrase leading up to the first anticipation point. One of my favourite pieces all time, doesn't hurt that my name is in the title ;)

splendida Master class di Luciano Pavarotti... suggerimenti sottili, sulla esecuzione ::: scappata.... di questo giovane soprano. che alla fine apprende ed esegue con morbidezza e senza correre questo dolcissimo brano . bravissimo Luciano

absolutely beautiful top.

Thanks for posting!

"Buttiamola" = let's just throw it out without any thinking

Magnifique

Que maravilhosos!!!!

Pavarotti-so impressive!

i liked this very much

There's A LOT of promise there, but I'm hearing a shouty sound. It's a good piece for her and with further coaching, she'll be a hit! I agree with everything Pavorotti was trying to accomplish with her.

All Pavarotti was trying to teach her was legato-a simple concept, the bedrock of good opera singing, but nonetheless difficult to achieve. Either she wasn't getting it or was so caught up in her sound she refused to get it. At one point, she thought she could do what Pavarotti was asking for by extending note values. A shame, since she has such a beautiful voice.

It's a pretty voice, not very distinctive, but she looks like she just walked off the set of "Laverne and Shirley"! Pavarotti is a great teacher though!

Bravo Madame.

Quanta pressão psicológica e emocional.... cantar na presença do eterno Maestro é para poucos.

i really like her voice. how come there's no other video of her ?

7:47 here ...always reminds me of spoken word piece I wrote, with 747 inbedded in prose ...most popular piece/video on KZfaq, long ago

Beautiful Beautifil voice! Such a sweet sound but she doesn't use her chest voice though! Only head sound, if coordinatied chest and head voice she would hit the top! Very musical lady

John Wustman at the piano!

Wish year was this

the audience looks so bored. I would have been taking notes lol

Callas also gave Masterclasses. I'm sure how the students managed to sing a note!

Was that Francis Ford Coppola in the audience? I don't know.

Hai ragione. Magda canta "CHI il bel sogno di Doretta potè indovinar..." Il Maestro Pavarotti si sbaglia. In inglese, "WHO can guess Doretta's beautiful dream..." Saluti da Firenze.

Good enough

❤❤

It's definitely Chi'il bel sogno...with a Chi. They're both incorrect, the soprano is correct.

minuto 9.10 impresionante 😢😊😍

I sense way too much resonance coming out of the mouth. It's a more broadway "legit" placement, and therefore, it's producing a shrill and harsh tone. It might be good for a Disney movie musical. For this aria and Puccini, I sense she needs to place the voice "up and over", higher and further back - what i mean is, allow it to resonate in the pharyngeal resonating cavity - not sure if i'm saying it right but i know what i mean. i loved what Pav said about simpler more legato phrasing and binding the consonants to each other. seems so easy but takes real skill. When he talked about using the diaphragm, i wish we had ex-ray vision into his gut. I guess one knows it when they feel the connection finally, they say it is like a leaning, appoggio, support. it's a struggle for me often to maintain connection to my body. He didn't seem too pleased with her lack of restraint and tenderness on the high notes. She seemed to misunderstand about not having to worry about them, feeling proud of herself. He reiterated 'Less, like nothing..."throw them away..."' She approached them with all guns blazing, bruising his tender heart. I think it's the wrong aria. If she has super high notes, she'd make a good queen of the night as it's not a pretty voice, but penetrating and irritating. In the end, i think he probably sensed that was all he could do with her in the time given. Seems to me to be the wrong aria to showcase her specific comfort zone. Not sure if what i'm saying is correct or not, but it's my sense of the situation. I'd love feedback.

This aria should be sung in this way there's no need to over dramatize, it is a lyric thing....

Who is she?

you most be very good to stand and sing next to pavarotti

what is her name ?

A woman like that and i would do the dishes every day...

Her voice is so highhhhhh... She should be singing a more soubrette or coloratura repertoire... not heavy repertoire... :)

Search this song from Monserrat caballe soprano

Si sembra a Sara Scudieri. ❤️❤️❤️

Ella escogió el Aria equivocada.

I thought the title was Chi il bel sognno di Doretta.......

Absolutely correct, but if you mean that it's chi phonetically then you're incorrect. It is rather a phonetical Ki.

She looks like she is singing in a musical instead of an opera. She does not have her soul into. There is no bitter sweet remembrance to her interpretation,

What is the expression Pavarotti say at 8:00- "Buttiamo ???"

Only thumb up for Maestro Pavarotti!That’s enough.

I think Pavarotti sung it better as a tenor.

She sings with a lot of tongue root tension, I guess that's one of the dangers in opera when you're told to lower the larynx all the time.

Just to point out that the title is "IL" bel sogno di Doretta and not "CHI". The soprano sings in a way that seems she's saying "Chi" but even Pavarotti and the pianist, later on, say "IL". By the way, I love these Masterclasses where you see how much technique and interpretation is involved when singing the Opera.

This is so funny. He just waves a pencil around. Pavarotti was no teacher (it is generally acknowledged) but he was some singer!!!

Мелко, задрано, передний звук. Не кругло.

Chi il bel sogno. Not "il bel sogno". She's correct, but he's not a soprano so we'll forgive him.

A bit annoying sound lucking chest

Completely wrong aria for her. What the heck?

she sounded a hot mess, but he's a good instructor.

She is too aggressive

A lovely voice but with absolutely no musicianship...how does that happen? Pavarotti tried but to no avail.

what a pain in the A%$ he is, I would go nuts! But if you want to make it in that thin space I guess you have to go to the slightest details.

Everything God made ...frauds want to destroy ...this is why Reckoning is going to be, a mess ...putting it mildly 🐑
