The Italian language with opera is one of the greatest human combinations ever invented.

No one sounds like Pavarotti. In my opinion, this particular piece of music doesn’t sound right unless he is the one singing. Absolutely masterful!

Pavarotti is the opera equivalent of a Ferrari V-12 screaming past in high rev. Both send incredible tingling sensations down my spine. I loved how the "coach" dissected his method of singing. Oh my, there is so much involved in becoming a great operatic singer!

Every time I hear him sing this I cry.

When you're italian (as I am) there is a deep understanding of what words mean that add a lot to the emotion of what is sung. Many magnificent singers do not speak italian and us can hear it from many errors of pronunciation we hear and distract us from enjoying the performance to its fullest. Pavarotti, being italian, also pronounces 100% perfectly every single word, and this brings us into the mood without distraction. I can imagine this happens also with other languages. I love this opera and even every time I listen to this romanza, for the last 30 years, I can't prevent me from tearing up. Puccini outdid himself here. And the story is so beautiful one can't but love it

When I saw him I was 81 years old and cried with the other 3,600 people watching him in the audience. He was magnificent every time he sing.

Pavarotti brings so much emotion to this song. I don’t know how anyone can keep from crying when they hear it. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.

The great Jose Carreras, one of the Three Tenors, was almost in tears after hearing Luciano sing Nessun Dorma for the first time. He said it was the most beautifully he'd ever heard the aria sung. I've watched four recordings of Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma, This is the most passion I've seen him display, paired with perfect technique. He's at the height of his powers here.

I have listened to Luciano for my entire life. I still get full body goosebumps every time.

Excellent analysis! Your Italian pronunciation it’s perfect! Nessun Dorma by Pavarotti and Casta Diva by Maria Callas are iconic, legendary. Greetings from Italy🤗

I'm Italian and I cry every time I watch one of his performances, this one is no exception even if you were explaining. I love to have someone explain to me just how perfect he was ❤ thanks Tara ❤️

I was fortunate to hear him sing this ‘live’ three times - always my favourite of all the 100’s of artists I’ve seen until last year when I heard Dimash sing ‘Ave Maria’ ‘live’. Both masters of their craft 🥰

Man what focus! What mastery! What command! It's like he became the character and totally believed what he was singing. That climax was a climax in every sense, even though he didn't have to move up and down the stage to reach that summit. His face, those impressive head movements, and his voice (the entire package) did everything, and said everything!

Thank you, Tara!... Your comments and reactions are priceless

I have seen many reactions to particular this performance of Luciano. Some good, some mediocre and many really bad. But your reaction, Tara, was clearly the best I have ever seen. Thanks for pointing out all the technical details („vin-a-cero“, anchoring of the tongue, resonating the sound in the nasal register…), you really know what you are talking about! So refreshingand informative! Thank you!

Pavarotti is so emotive in his technique here, even if you dont understand Italian, you can feel and understand the emotion of the sound of his voice. Truly a masterful performance by a master performer. Not a dry eye here. ❤❤

I really enjoyed watching this reaction! Keep the classicals coming!

Feel chills everytime I hear this.

this beautiful music interpreted so beautifully by Luciano makes me cry and feel proud to be Italian

I am 74 now and have been listening to Pavarotti since I was 20. I never tire of it.

I have seen many videos of Luciano Pavarotti, and I was surprised how many young people love his voice. Even though they have their own genre of modern music, they still love this treasured music by a wonderful singer.

Your eyes and expressions capture the passion and heartfelt longing that Luciano brings out in this performance. Saw him sing this live once. Not a big cryer but he opens my soul with his passionate voice and puts me in tears every time I listen. Truly one of a kind tenor. He has my vote GOAT tenor.

Absolutely LOVED your reaction! I’ve watched and listened to Pavarotti sing this song dozens of times, but I really appreciate your breaking down the vocal technique in this performance.

Yay! Thank you. I get chills and tear up with this performance every single time. It is great in all ways. I enjoyed your explanation of all of the nuances of this vocal masterpiece.

RIP the great man. He OWNED this song.

Very good Italian pronunciation and analysis, nice video Tara. 🙂

My father lived to the age of 91. He was 60 when I was born. Growing up he told me time and again to learn one new thing every day. Today I learned to appreciate an opera performance in a completely new and different way. I have a better appreciation for his skill set, and appreciation for your wonderful explanation of techniques used to create sounds that move a man to tears. Thank you! Peace to you on your path.

This is my 'morning song', start the day with this, it makes a difference. Amazing.

This was great! You gave us a lot to learn here, it’s almost overwhelming, but it’s more exciting than overwhelming.

I think the biggest lesson here is get in the zone. Look at his eyes. He may be standing on the stage singing, but his mind is somewhere else living the song.

I find Tara to be just outstanding as a vocal coach, such meaningful analysis to help those of us who are not singers to understand some of the dynamics and technical expertise called upon in great performance. I am an artist, not a singer, yet I relate to the importance of these dynamic crucial moments. Very fine professional channel!

I loved your reaction to this supreme performance by Pavarotti. The crib notes above mention his 'impassioned delivery' and I would suggest that your reaction was no less impassioned! I have seen a number of reactions to this performance and yours is, in my opinion, the most entertaining and most informative. It was, for me, as enjoyable watching your expressions as it was listening to Pavarotti. Thanks for this excellent reaction!😊

He was truly one of a king. The most beautiful tenor voice I have ever heard. I was lucky enough to hear him live in concert singing this, but unfortunately I never got to hear him in an actual opera theater. Love your reactions, keep the opera reactions please !!!!!!!!

No one sang it like him. *THIS* was *his* song. And I LOVE it!

I instantly got GOOSEBUMPS from the first note he hit until the very end! This man will always be a legend in the music industry!

Congratulations for this beautiful video so full of details, and done in a very professional way!

I've watched so many reaction videos to this live performance but have never learned 1% of what I learned from you analyzing it! I always tear up when I see his performance here. It is simply powerful.

Thnx Tara that u give attention to classical music. U make it an experience, i can feel it when u get moved by music😊❤

Your reaction is so true and spontaneously done. You are a truly music passionate! We can see it! Live it so much 🎉🎉🎉

Love love love this.. and the next best is him doing this in the Three Tenors! I adore Pavarotti and his music!!! 🥰😍🤩

I go back to that video every once in a while when I’m in the mood to get blown away :) he was truly the greatest

This vídeo appeared suddenly for me here. In fact, not so suddenly, because I am a fan of classical music, and obviously also a fan of Pavarotti. And I really appreciated the way you reacted and explained all the technics he used, to assure to the audiences that he was, and will always be, the one and only, by far, the best classical music singer this world has ever had. IN TIME: I added your KZfaq channel to my favourites.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this type of reaction. I learn so much from you.

I love his expression at the end it is as though he has discovered a new beauty to what he has done

Pavarotti's singing and your final reaction bring me tears. Thank you

Back in 1990, which shocks me that it is 33 years ago now, the BBC used this song, sung by Pavarotti as its theme tune to the 1990 World Cup being held in Italy. It made Pavarotti a huge star in the UK, and influence many to start listening to opera/classical music, including myself. Without this song and this man I doubt I would ever have listened to any opera and yet it forms one of the largest sections of my music collection now. What a voice and just importantly what a masterpiece of writing by Puccini.

I’ve watched this performance hundreds of times, and will watch it hundreds more. I’m no expert, nor even aficionado, but the technical and emotional heights of this performance are undeniable even to the layman. The look of defiance and triumph on his face at the end always moves me to tears, and fills me with joy and faith in the human ability to move us through art. And though I’ve watched many analysis videos, this was by far the best. I knew I wasn’t crazy for reacting so emotionally to this piece, and your knowledge, enthusiasm and especially your emotion watching and listening to this makes me appreciate it even more. Thank you for making yourself vulnerable to this crowning achievement, and for sharing that with us. Subscribed!

Oh wow!! You know what, I just subscribed! 3 thirds through your video. Because normally I would be angry at someone pausing where you are, but your pro tips are amazing! Very well explained. I'm no professional singer by any means. But I learned enough working in a karaoke bar and running it also. To appreciate what you explained in this video! Thank you! And also as I am half Italian I bloody love this song. I grew up mostly in the nineties and this was the anthem for Italia 90 the world cup. It was epic! Thanks babe 😁😎😭

I enjoyed this very much - learned a lot. You have a lovely voice. Thank you…

I remember watching this live on TV back then and yes it was a true masterpiece also the theme of the 1990 🌍 world ⚽️ Cup. A truly memorable time to be alive!!!!

Love you, Tara!

Luciano was such a unique singer. Whereas typical classical tenors would lower the 5th and 4th formant to the 3rd one to create the singing formant, he would tune the 2nd formant to the the third harmonic with the his amazing control of the tongue. This gives the power and weight to lower harmonics. Such a legend. Great video!

Beautiful timeless perfection.

Emotion and competence. Thank you, nice video.

I love your emotion in the final 'Vincerò", it always moves me.

Love when people react to classical music! One point I wanted to add, most of the resonance in classical singing is actually in the oral pharynx (abt. 85%) and only (15%) is in the nasal cavity. This stops the sound from being nasal and allows it to resonate while letting it still be interesting with a "bite" or chiaro (from chiaroscuro). Would love to see more reactions to classical music :)

Thanks for this tribute to my Italy, grazie

Thank you for all the explanations! Exactly what I was looking for to understand especially his breathing technique at the end. Great reaction video 👏

Excellent analysis. How well you are trained in the art is also most evident.

no matter what king of music u like,when u listen to the maestro and this masterpiece u need to stad up and applause

Thanks for this one. I saw him at the HBowl a few years before he passed. Sad that I missed his prime but thankful I got to see and hear him live at least once in my life. I was raised on opera by my mom on old vhs tapes and pbs presentations. Forever a fan of Pavarotti and many more of that generation and beyond. ✌️

Ero piccolo quando hanno trasmesso questo concerto in tv qua in Italia…… prima elementare e la voce di Luciano mi é entrata nel cuore! Piango ancora la sua scomparsa

Compliments for your very accurate and competent analysis. And for your italian pronunciation.👏👏👏

That is the master at work. It really doesn’t get any better.

I love this song. Amazing!!!!

One of his best performances. Great. Bravo.

Great reaction. Pavarotti was really a legend, not only in opera, but in music overall - I have another question - will there be some Eurovision reactions for this year? I always look forward for those videos and your opinion :)

I've never enjoyed a commentary more than I do now. Awesome! 🤩🤩

Dear Tara. Thanks for your great Job from Germany❤

Pure practice AND talent

Yep, I am a big fan of Luciano Pavarotti and I started to listen to him a few decades ago and what a voice. The Three Tenors Concert that toured the world has made Luciano Pavarotti, a real superstar in the Opera world. Ps, you are a beautiful looking woman and even better you have a great voice, that is clearly made for singing the great classics like Puccini, Verdi, etc. 👍👍

Finally… someone does some actual analysis of this brilliance. Thank you.

I was raised listening to classical music, my father loved opera and classical pianists, I learned to like it. My father is gone but he left the heritage culture. Today I am a Dear, fan of Diimash. Thank you .❤🇧🇷 Wonderful Pavarotti 👍👏🥰🥰

Some things are beyond perfection

I get chills every time

What a wonderful expert analysis - thank you so much! I'm just an amateur (occasionally semi-pro, in the past) singer who never had any real training - watching things like this makes me wish I had.

Luciano, the GOAT. So glad you covered this. Need more!

If you start the title with "Vocal Coach"... you don't have to apologize for stopping, that is what we expect and want :) Thanks for a lovely reaction

Here it is not about musical notes,vocal technique or schools,here we are witnesses of divine grace!

I'm so here for the classic renditions on your channel!

I love this video!

I was lucky enough to go to a three tenors concert Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras. Domingo and Carreras are two fantastic tenors and it was a pleasure to hear them but Pavarotti was in a class all by himself. I doubt i'' ever hear a tenor like him again

Wonderful analysis.

… he KNOWS it … what he DOES … he IS … Tara, you’re the first I’ve seen (and heard) so far, to say and think about Luciano exactly the way I do - I always refer to him at present tense … he is immortal. I saw many people reacting to the exact same video, most of them not knowing that Luciano went home some years ago, asking “who is he?” … sadly, not saying “he IS” anymore, after learning he is no longer with us. Luciano WAS not … he IS. Million thanks for this, Tara! From Romania, with love …

I absolutely love the expression on his face at the end like he almost surprised himself with how amazing that moment was. Legendary.

The best reaction I have ever seen.

I think the holy spirit filled him there in the end, just amazing!! This performance is just unbelievable, have brought a tear to my eye each and every time I hear it! He is for sure a master, RIP master. One interesting fact, as a swede, is the fact that he admired Jussi Björling. When asked something he answered: "-Hey, I am not Jussi!" Both guys equally totally amazing - I would say! Thank you for great music!!! 😍

I love you analysing opera! Very informative 😊

i love so much your explication and reaction. MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! Thanks.

THANK YOU for actually showcasing traditionally male parts sometimes. It often feels like most vocal coach reactions are focused on broadly mezzo/soprano songs, some alto, so any time i see a reaction to a tenor/bari part, i feel more seen. I get that engagement is probably a big concern, and obviously male-voiced songs dont drive the same numbers, but id love to see more vids about what are traditionally male parts/songs. We're out here, and were also looking for help

This Last note, Heard 10 000 timed 10 000 crying. Amazing

Grazie Tara. Great Reaction

Un privilegio haber estado vivo para escuchar a éste prodigio de la canción 😊❤.

Keep in mind that Pavarotti here is almost 60, not in his prime anymore, and still sounds amazing. Also Nessun Dorma is an aria designed for a heavier voice (like Corelli) than Pavarotti, who really shines in arias like La Donna è mobile

you are the first english speaker that can properly say spagheTTi. love you

excellent analyisis, great job thank you

great your discretion on opera singing methods and styles is absolutely brilliant as is your persona and singing voicex

Never get tired of hearing this

Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! Tu pure, o Principessa Nella tua fredda stanza Guardi le stelle che tremano D'amore e di speranza! Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me Il nome mio nessun saprà! No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò Quando la luce splenderà! Ed il mio bacio scioglierà Il silenzio che ti fa mia! (ll nome suo nessun saprà E noi dovrem, ahimè! Morir! Morir!) coro Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò! The translation... Let no one sleep, Let no one sleep! Even you, oh Princess, In your cold room, Watch the stars, That tremble with love And with hope. But my mistery is hidden within me, My name no one shall know, No... no... On your mouth, I will tell it, When the light will shine. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine! (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) chorus Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!

I LOVE LOVE Pavarotti. What a legend!!! We’re so lucky we had him on this earth. Can you also react to Aretha covering this song for Luciano?
