      @@juliettedunn2195 This aria is not about sustaining notes, this role has much more difficult C5 notes that you need to sustain, alongside dramatic sopranos who have massively big and loud voices. Nessun Dorma is an easy aria from this opera. It is about the colour and power of the voice, not the length of the notes. Pavarotti was one of the best lyric tenors, but he really did not have the voice for this role. Pavarotti, to his credit understood this pretty well, which is why he didn't really try to perform this role live on stage. Franco Corelli was the perfect tenor for this role, and performed it over a 100 times.

      It is not an aria that is suppose to be sung with ease, it is about having a big ego and winning, it suppose to be performed with incredible power. This role is meant for a dramatic tenor, like Franco Corelli, he is the only one who could really perform this live without a microphone. Antoine is young, he could still gain a lot of power in his voice.

      My opera coach was there when Pavarotti initially auditioned and stated how amazing his voice was at a young age. The resonance in his voice was a placement several feet outside and in front of his body. No microphone was ever needed for him. Opera performers know how to project that voice into the vast open space. Just because you can sing the notes does not mean you are on the same plane.

Should consider this as well, with this comparison, Jonathan is a 27-year-old young man, relatively the beginning of his career and he's being compared with these others.

Not good enough for that kind of challenge. He is singing in his bed or living room, yes, but is anyone realizing that his recording was edited with reverb to make it sound fleshier and fuller?

    You did not show the one where Corelli held it the longest. Corelli owned Nessun Dorma and did more performances of Turandot at the Met than any other tenor, despite getting there at age 40 and retiring at 50. Although, Pavarotti made Nessun Dorma his signature song, he paid tribute to Corelli . Corelli started his opera singing at age 32. He toured Europe
    Opera Houses before his Met debut in Jan.1961.
