Pavarotti didn't have talent, the talent had him. He was magnificent @

The greatest tenor of all time, magnificent.

I don't have many regrets in life but not seeing this man perform live is one of them :(

I get chills when I hear him sing. Voices like these are such a gift. It does make you speechless and leave you in awe.

After my dad died, I went alone to his grave and played this performance for him on the little Sony tape player I had bought for him. I waited until there were no people around, and just played Pavarotti for my father. “The fat guy with the great set of pipes,” as my dad used to call him. The sound of that little tape player, channeling Pavarotti, soared.

Luciano caused me to fall in love with Puccini! I’m not an opera fan but in my opinion This Man is the greatest tenor ever! I can listen to this over & over. He sings all genres of music equally as well.

Pavarotti left the opera house and went on tour to bring this music to the public. He opened the concerts to the public for free admission. His concert in Central Park drew 500,000 people. In his later career, he held charity concerts in his hometown of Modena, Italy and invited artists to sing with him. Check out his duets with James Brown, Celine Dion, Tracy Chapman, Elton John, Sting, Stevie Wonder, etc. You ain't seen nothing yet!!! And congratulations for not interrupting the Maestro. He is considered the greatest tenor who ever lived by most people who listen to him.

anyone can love opera......................no matter what their background is

this song always gives me chills. RIP Luciano!

That voice was a gift from Heaven. RIP LP.

RIP Luciano. He passed away in 2007. The world lost a great voice. The King of the High C.

Sometimes we have a rare opportunity to see/hear a little glimpse of paradise. This is one of those. Let's just be thankful for experiencing this.

Andrea Bocelli and Sarah, time to Say Goodbye. Chills. Beautiful. Enjoy your reacts so much.

Thank you for not interrupting the great performance of our beloved opera king,❤

I am transfixed when I listen to Pavarotti perform Nessun Dorma ... nothing else matters. Beautiful.

I saw Luciano Pavarotti live he was unbelievable out of this world when he finished singing Nessun Dorma he broke out in a smile that lit up the staduiam. Watching from the UK 🇬🇧❤ Thank you Polo for your video ❤ 🇱🇷 ❤🕊

The lyrics really add meaning to the intensity: No sleep! Nessun dorma! No sleep! Nessun dorma! You too, oh Princess Tu pure, oh Principessa In your cold room Nella tua fredda stanza You look at the stars that tremble with love Guardi le stelle che tremano d'amore And of hope E di speranza But my mystery is closed in me Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me My name no one will know Il nome mio nessun saprà No, no, on your lips I will say it No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò When the light will shine Quando la luce splenderà And my kiss will dissolve the silence Ed il mio bacio scioglierà il silenzio That makes you mine Che ti fa mia Go away, oh night Dilegua, oh notte Go down, stars Tramontate, stelle Go down, stars Tramontate, stelle I'll win at dawn All'alba vincerò I will win Vincerò I will win Vincerò

I've been watching these first reaction videos from multiple KZfaq channels and it is hard to believe this is the first time people are hearing this aria song by Pavarotti. This song has been played on so many different platforms throughout the years. I am a woman of color who grew up in Bed-Stuy Bklyn. My first opera was 'Madam Butterfly' in elementary school. Thankfully, throughout the years my parents continued to immerse my brother and I in the cultural arts. In retrospect, my experience was just as Edward explained it to Vivienne in the movie 'Pretty Woman.' The opera is 'Turandot' by Giacomo Puccini. It is a story of love and suspense that everyone should learn about. This particular song sets the tone for the rest of the story. Please look up the words in English and the premise of the story. Most sites tell the story without giving away the ending. The power of Luciano's voice will be appreciated so much more. 'Nessun Dorma' means 'Nobody shall sleep.' The end - vincero, vincero, vincero! "I will win. I will win. I will win."

What a Legend. This song will make my wife cry every time and don't tell anyone but I will shed a tear as well. R.I.P. Luciano.

I saw him live at Central Park. He and all the singers just stood still at standing microphones and sang their hearts out for the packed crowd sitting on the lawn in the dark.... His singing is seared into my memory.

When opera and classical music are good. Nothing can touch it.

If you're watching opera for the first time, no better way than watching the maestro!

My dad’s favourite singer! Put on a suit or dress smartly (no tux required) and go to the opera, ballet or symphony. Recommended shows would be; opera - Barber of Seville or Carmen; Ballet - La Fille Mal Gardée, Giselle, or a mixed program; symphony - any show. It’s all so good. Have fun

Luciano Pavarotti and Celine Dion - I Hate You Then I Love You. Celine doesn’t sing opera but she and he together were phenomenal

The man brings me to tears every time and I don't have a clue what he's saying. A gift from the gods, the 🐐

Nessun Dorma makes me cry every time I hear it. It’s from the opera, Turandot. But since the late 1800’s there have been many celebrated black opera singers. Leontyne Price, a soprano, gained international acclaim. Same goes for black composers, a film is coming out this year about the life of Chevalier de Saint-George. He was the son of a slave woman in the 1700’s who was educated in Paris, became the French king’s knight (chevalier)and was a virtuoso on the violin (and he even taught Mozart!),

There was a time when Pavarotti was supposed to appear at an Awards show to perform Nessum Dorma. At literally at few minutes notice, he notified the show that he was not well and would not be able to perform. Knowing that Aretha Franklin had performed it on another occasion, the producers of the show asked her if she could fill in for Pavarotti. She happily obliged and the rest is history. The Queen of Soul filled in for Pavarotti that night and blew the audience away. I believe the video is available on YT and it is well worth looking up. It was unbelievable. Following that Pavarotti asked Miss Franklin to perform with him.

Nessun Dorma is the final aria in the opera Turandot (available in full on You Tube). My favourite male opera singer is Andrea Bocelli - worth checking out, particularly Funiculi Funicula. Bocelli also opened Euro 20 with Nessun Dorma.

What a respectful, quiet reviewer Polo Reacts is. It's rare. So many reviewers stop and start the videos, gyrate, over-react for acting's sake and they make the review about THEM. I'm clicking subscribe because of this. Kudo's to you, Polo, for reviewing opera. I don't like most of it myself but there is something about Pavarotti that I could listen to anything he sings ... and I have. See the video with Eric Clapton and Pavarotti. His wonderful, clear voice in English is stunning. Loved this review.

I really love your reaction to this. You were absolutely mesmerized and you did not move a muscle during his whole performance. This is why I believe children should be exposed to all types of music when they are in school but especially to classical music because it truly moves the soul like no other.you were proof of that. Thank you my friend.

My mom knew someone that belonged to a church down in Florida. This woman told her Pavarotti was there one Sunday and sang for the congregation. She said it felt like he shook the walls.

I saw Luciano Pavarotti in concert in San Francisco. It was the thrill of a lifetime.

And this is just the Aria (a solo song in opera) on its own. When performed in context of the story and in a crafted production, it's even further breathtaking.

Good man for opening up your mind and watching the Late GREAT Pavarotti love to you from London 🇬🇧 ❤

This is my favorite song by Him. It makes me feel like crying its soo good

I’m crying as an Italian, you said it all! I appreciate you! I have an artist you should listen too, Tori Amos….truly a storyteller and amazing artist

the spot at 2:58, he comes in at full volume! He was not to be trifled with! I love this man with my whole heart.

I have no credit score, I am below poverty level and am certainly not sophisticated but I went to the Opera many times. To the Met in NYC. Some of the best memories of my life. My late father in law always bought season tickets and I was his guest. He was born in 1926 and his family visited the opera almost a century ago. I am Italian but unfortunately never learned to speak its words. You are absolutely right. You do not have to understand a language to feel the meaning of the words. I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction. Thank you for bringing back so many wonderful memories for me.

You certainly picked a perfect performance for your first opera experience!!!

He was absolutely amazing, I’ve been enamored by his performing since I was a child. My only regret is not seeing him live. We will never have another quite like Luciano.

Opera is for everyone. I like to listen to it in my garden . No tuxedo required 😂😊

I grew up having this and other operas sung around the by my dad. He died recently of dementia and although when young I disliked classical music intensely this reminded me of his passion for it. You brought happy floods of tears back. We played Verdi’s Va, pensiero (chorus of the Hebrew slaves), from Nabucco at his funeral and I find it as moving as Pavarotti here.

I adore your reaction! I agree with you too! 🥰

Several of the MOST FAMOUS American Opera Singers were Black. We have had "Black History Month" Documentaries on TV in Canada a lot longer, than you have in the US, it is not new to Canadians to know all about Famous Black People. The Opera, when it is THIS GOOD, is breath-taking. Loved this video.

Now that you've heard the voice of Sir Luciano, react to his duet with THE James Brown doing "It's a Man's World". Full orchestra backing. It will absolutely blow your socks off!

Polo Thank you. You are one of the few who never stop the video. You were mesmerised by the feeling his voice gave you. You do not have to understand the words in opera, you get the feeling. Thank you again.

Important!: Pavarotti wasn't the composer, it was Giacomo Puccini in 1924, which is very late for this kind of music. The singer in this video, that is Pavarotti!

There is only one Pavarotti, remember this as you go down the opera rabbit hole

Thank you for not stopping and starting and chattering throughout this beautiful piece! ❤ I'm so glad you enjoyed the performance!

Not an Opera fan and I am not that cultured or sophisticated but I have the highest regard for the artist. There is a huge amount of talent and control to be able to perform because it's not like singing a regular song. Opera Singers truly need to dig deep down to the very bottom of their souls to carry out and hold the notes.

Polo, have never seen you not move for 3 solid minutes. Great reaction for an amazing performance by the best tenor on the planet.

Opera is really the most demanding of all performing arts. It's not just the demanding singing at highest level, it is acting ability, co-ordination between singers, between singers and orchestra (timing), and when performed live, you have only one shot to get it perfectly "together".

That was such a reverent reaction to the art! So many other people that have reacted to this want to break it up but you got it. The greatest tenor of all time. People listen to this and often have tears in their eyes by the end and they can’t explain why because they don’t know the translation. It didn’t matter. The maestro conveyed the emotion with his vocals. Bravo!

By many his performance ranks as one of the greatest pieces of vocal ever recorded…including me.

Amazing performance!

You should think about going to experience a symphony...live! There is nothing like it! I cry every time. It is so beautiful!!!!

He held that note like Gollum held the one ring.

Love this song as well as his song about the clown in Pagliacci.

His performance of this in Paris is almost unreal! He holds the note forever!

Great reaction,liked the way you actually listened without cutting in. Subscribed.

My mom passed away of brain cancer recently and this was her favorite song and artist, had me in tears man. Thanks for posting this beautiful song!

There are Black women who are famous opera singers: Marian Anderson, Jessye Norman, and Leontyne Price are the main ones that spring to mind. As for Black male opera singers, there are Paul Robeson, Willard White, and Lawrence Brownlee. There are others, of course, but these are the ones that I know of ATM.

I really enjoy Luciano Pavorotti, Brian Eno, Bono, and the Edge, performing live, the song "Miss Sarajevo". Pavarotti collaberated with artists from many genres, and was loved and respected by all.

Man... I'm a metalhead and stuff but I love this. I knew this one a few years ago and I was also blown away by his voice and his power. I'm into classical music too so I'm no stranger to opera but I don't know much of it. Pavarotti is one of those voices you can't forget. I also recommend, if you wanna keep with this, Funiculi Funicula, Libiamo ne lieti calici (from the Three Tenors concert) and Vesti La Giubba. Also I recommend to give it a look on google before you listen to the pieces so you can have context. It helps to understand what's being sang and why.

In tears…does it to me every time. He was extraordinary. I only got to see him once before he passed…it was an other worldly experience I will never forget. ❤ I’m glad you enjoyed and respected the piece so much. 🎉

Good on you for not interrupting that fabulous performance! So glad that you were as impressed by it as I was when I first delved into the world of opera!

Opera moves your soul, you don't need to understand the words but you feel them deep down inside you.

The emotion in his eyes. He is taking in every bit of that moment and you can just see and feel that emotional tension build and surround him all the way up to that last, powerful note. It's actually incredible that a human being can produce something so unbelievably powerful. Every time I hear that last section, the hairs on arm stand on end and a shiver goes down my spine. I have never been moved so much by any other piece of music or performance. It genuinely brings tears to my eyes and not a lot can do that. Incredible.

This always brings me to tears. We blessed to be able to still see and hear him in recordings. I hope he is singing for the Lord now.

This slowly takes your heart until your heart is only beating to the emotion. I was blessed to hear him live. It is 100% better live in an opera house.

A great first step into the world of opera , Puccini’s music is so passionate you can’t help but be moved and it doesn’t matter if you understand the lyrics ❤

Luciano Pavarotti was a once in a lifetime voice and talent! He was the very best Tenor ever!

I really appreciate you for checking out different genres. Normally I'm a Hip hop guy. But once in a while I go to the opera with my wife. An absolutely breathtaking experience. Nessun Dorma btw gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. 😅

I'm glad you got to hear Luciano Pavarotti. You don't have to be Italian to appreciate opera in general, and Pavarotti in particular.

Everything about Pavarotti gives me chills. Everything about him is simply outstanding. His voice. His presence. His manner. His expressions. No one else begins to compare to him. What a thrill it would be to hear him for the first time and just take it all in. I loved that you just listened to it all and didn't stop it just to have the entire experience in one take. And what an experience it is. He is the best of the best of the best. Great video!

I love Caruso by Luciano, he is by far my favorite opera singer. If you want a crossover, Freddie Mercury (Queen) and Montserrat Caballe 'Barcelona' is incredible. Jonathan Antoine is a younger opera singer whose voice I really enjoy. You can check out anything by him, but he also has a great version of Nessum Dorma

Here's the lyrics in 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! Why? To understand the meaning behind the lyrics, read a short synopsis of the opera...they're all over the internet. What are the motivations behind the characters? Best way I found out to dig a little deeper is to watch interviews with opera singers who have sung the lead roles. If you do decide to see this opera, you'll enjoy it much more if you have a little background.

Opera is GOLD!! It really opens up the scope of emotions!

His voice is amazing and powerful, always gives me chills on those high notes he hits

You don't need to wear a Tux to go listen to opera, simply dress smartly. As a first Opera I would recommend Carmen. Could you please do a reaction to the Aria from it called "Habanera".

I get goosebumps every time. There is a whole story behind this which is normally the case with an opera, and it's too complicated to go into here but basically this is a confident song where he is proclaiming that he will be victorious.

Thank you for just listening to the whole performance!

There are many beautiful opera singers!! Such a variety of tones and scenarios in many different languages!! Enjoy the journey through Opera!! 😄❤️

I loved the reaction. I will tell you, there is so much in the "breathtaking" category when it comes to classical or opera space. Truth: Anyone who is excellent at their craft... does not matter what genre of music... Can provide an exceptional experience.

All the years of training and practice created in him a passion for his art. Perfection. Bravo! He was a beautiful soul!❤❤❤

Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman - Time To Say Goodbye. Definitely worth watching the older performance, when they were younger.

We were truly blessed to have Pavarotti grace this planet with his breathtaking voice. Love love love. ❤to see him live would have been amazing.

I cry everytime I listen and watch that. It was one of my grandmas favorites that would come on tv in the islands. He did it so beautifully!

He is my no.1 opera singer ❤ followed by Andrea Bocelli 🥰 Love the reaction 👏

Me too, I have never understood the words of this song but like you, it just hits your heart! it just does......

So happy to see you listen to opera! My husband and I both love TOOL, but opera is my #1 love. My husband goes to the opera with me, not so much because he is a fan of the music, but because he completely appreciates the amazing things some can do with their voice. One I think you will love because her voice is just gorgeous, is mezzo soprano Anita Rachvelishvili. Her voice will give you chills. Watch her in the Met Opera's video of Tsar's Bride - "Lyubasha's Song".

Purtroppo non potremo più sentire queste performance del grande Luciano, la voce del mondo

Beautiful Puccini! Polo-check out Luciano singing This Is A Man’s World with none other than James Brown and a huge Italian orchestra! Also- you will go nuts for Freddy Mercury if Queen singing with his favorite opera singer- Montserrat Caballe. “ Barcelona” - written by Freddy for the Barcelona Olympics. Opera was the “ people’s’” music for centuries. These arias were like pop songs in Italy.

So glad you enjoyed this! Love him!

With the acoustics of an opera hall, opera singers don't even need a microphone. Their voice is so powerful the natural acoustics will do the job. I used to watch Pavarotti concerts on tv for charity events back home in Italy. But never had the privilege to see him live.

He was troubled in many ways but an incredible talent that brought opera to the people! He made agreements that he would only perform later in his life if large screens could be put outside of venues to share with people who could not afford to enjoy opera.

As someone who enjoys first time reactions THANK YOU for playing the song completely through. This is the art as intended. No translation needed.

This is considered his best one by everybody. It's literally legendary. By 1994 He was considered way past his prime like 15 years past. One of the reasons that made this legendary was that fact.. He owned that aria and he was his signature piece! This is him saying nope I still have it and I'll sing till I die. He almost literally did this as he last sung this in 2006 and he died in 2007 from pancreatic cancer. He was doing a farewell tour and he had to have neck surgery to fix some vertebrae he had problems.
