- You know music is truly great when you stop what you’re doing to give it your undivided attention. - September 11, 2022
I put this up because I thought it was kinda sweet. I’m astonished that 2M people have seen it four months.
People have shared some deeply personal stories in the comments below - stories of their children and grandchildren, their parents and grandparents, their love of music, their love of Pavarotti - it’s been very special to be a part of.
Mom and I read all the comments about our little one, and the two of us thank you so much for all the kind remarks.
Life can be pretty amazing, when you let it.
Seeing this sweet little angel so captivated gave me hope for the future, the world, and humanity itself.
Feeling the same. In this vulgar world, we come across this! (Maybe homo sapiens doesn't deserve extinction?)
Beautiful wee soul
I never saw a child so enthralled by an operatic voice, I am amazed , so beautiful!
Agree!
oh please, give it a rest
like the world has a bright future because of one child listening to a song. do you live in a ghetto
Our granddaughter was premature (28 weeks) and in the NICU. She was fragile and We could not hold her. So I sang to her, sometimes in English, French or Italian. Her nurse who was monitoring her breathing, said that when I sang, her oxygen saturation numbers increased. The goal was 85% to have the ventilator removed. The doctor ordered a CD player for her, and we played classical vocal music, including Pavarotti. Her lungs healed! Today she is a very healthy 16 year old coloratura soprano, who sings in 5 languages. A miracle child.
Woow . God bless her
What an amazing story. And your granddaughter being a coloratura soprano at the age of 16 is pretty impressive.
Kinder Gramma, your story about your granddaughter made me cry - so beautiful! 🥹
Tears...
This is such an amazing story! ❤
The fact that Pavarotti got a toddlers full attention for THREE MINUTES, is incredibly impressive.
you made a point - 100% d´accord !!
He barely, even blinked! It's like he just couldn't keep his eyes off the screen. This, was beautiful.
Which is why pre and post birth babies should hear classical mudic.
It is. But it makes sense. I get it. We intuitively know beauty. It’s life that beats that out of us
With mom or dad nearby with a camera to boot.
Not sure why this made me cry. This child's entire body was involved in the music. When something is that pure, it crosses cuiture, age... everything.
Because this is one of the small things that keeps the darkness at bay.
Not all tears are evil. ❤
my children were "sung" to sleep with lullabies of Schubert and Schumann. Nothing like the wisdom of a baby.
If one believes in reincarnation, than this sweet child is reincarnation of famous Ophra singer , an old blessed soul in a such young body ! May Buddha bless this child with good health and joyous meaningful life.
And me, eyes welling. Pavarotti is of course emotional but this baby just breathes the music. Very sweet.
The song alone makes me cry so an added innocent cute baby is floods of joy
I loved the moment when the baby laid down the pacifier and gave full, undivided attention to the incomparable Pavarotti! Soooo special! 😺💕🐾
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Me too🧸🐇🍼🎈🐥
As a retired opera singer, I have to say that baby’s appreciation for the art form is more genuine and better developed than most of the adults I ever performed for.
The child is mesmerized by the music not the”art form”.
Years ago, I read about a study that showed that children who listen to opera and classical music, even while they are in the womb, turn out much smarter than children who listen to rock, rap and country. I grew up listening to rock and country, but my father also liked the Lawrence Welk show. I enjoyed the show myself, when I was a young child. Now I like classical and opera, along with my rock and country. And I try to encourage young mothers-to-be to listen to classical and opera, although I usually get a look like I have a third eye or something. You'd think they would want to do everything possible to ensure they raise an intelligent child.
@@itsnotthesamething I grew up listening to classical music because of my dad…I was a straight A student, lol…maybe you have a point!
At the end the baby looks at mom like “mom this rocks.”
@@Katrn30 This "Baby Pavarotti" may grow up to emulate the late Luciano as an opera divo.
Drop the toy and curl the toes... totally riding the waves of human emotion. Beautiful.
Honestly I still do that and I am 60
@@doonewatts7155 🤣😂🤣
That was cool. I'm glad it was caught on video. I once heard someone tell a story about visiting the Taj Majal with their 2-year-old. When the baby caught sight of it, he gasped and seemed totally enraptured. It's like beauty is a primal thing.
Gods Angels come in many forms and ways….the beauty,grace and energy connects us.
Loving it😇🥰 awesome 😎
The rapt attention, the slight lifting of the eyebrows, the heaving breath...this baby gets the emotive complexity of opera. ❤🎼🎵
I couldn't have said it better !
Well said!
As the great Picasso said, all children are born artists... music is one of the arts. Give your child the gift of the masters and it will stay with them for life. It is oxygen for the brain and heart.❤
As an Italian I'm feeling very pround... this baby is AMAZING and the reaction so pure.
Grazie Pavarotti... Grazie Puccini ❤
Grazie to the Italian nation, for wondrous music, incomparable art, and food to satisfy the Gods!
With love and respect from an elderly British lady. 🇬🇧
@@Boudicca165 gentilissima signora.
This words are really heartwarming!
If you feel all this emotions for Beauty in every aspect, you are an AMAZING soul for sure.
Buona vita! 🇮🇹❤🇬🇧
@M.C.P.
Thank you for those kind words, you have made my day so much better.🫠🇬🇧
Don't ever ask me about my job, capisce?
As much as I love Pavarotti's beautiful voice, my first thought was that it's even more the music of Puccini that touches our souls. This piece is powerful with any quality singer.
When I was young, my mother would play opera in the morning, and she wouldn't turn it off till all us kids were out of bed. We HATED it. But in my early 20's I happened to hear an aria on the radio while driving. I had to pull over & park, I was so overcome with beautiful emotions. I started listening again to opera and love it to this day. Thanks Mom!
Thank you for sharing❤! That is so beautiful!
Never underestimate the power of early influences! We had a console stereo thing in the living room (we kids were not really allowed in that room back then, we had a den to watch TV, etc.). Anyway, mom listened to some "easy listening" station back in the early '60s, which included Sinatra and some pretty obscure stuff (by today's standards), and, well, it affected me years later. "There's a bluebird on my shoulder" (not Sinatra-- and the only line I remember from back then. Don't know the name of the song)). Anyway, I've had a healthy appreciation for classic stuff and some divine singing by the "Rat Pack" and others ever since. Yes: "Thanks Mom!"
My aunt gave me a "Child's Gilbert & Sullivan" when I was a little girl. I mean what kid doesn't like operetta? 😆But then, as an adult, I ended up joining a group that performs G&S , so it stuck.
Beautiful story! Thank you.
My Gran listened to Saturday at the Met every week. I knew Carmen before I knew it!
Oh my god, that look, that subtle little smile at the climax of the song
YEs!! All of that ...but also the feet and the toes!! So sorry Luciano didn't see this in his lifetime, because he would have LOVED it!!!
So nice... makes one believe in old souls
Beautiful music is food for the soul on the journey of life.
Please don't take Gods name in vain, it is a great sin.
@@cassiemiller7321 how about the pharisees praying too loudly to show how pious they are?
Anyone who plays Nessun Dorma for their kids is alright by me. Thanks for brightening my day and giving your kid a huge jumpstart in life. Adoro questo!
Because of health issues, I am required to have an MRI every 6 months at our gigantic hospital here in Atlanta. Have been doing this for 14 years. And for 14 years, as I have the MRI done, the Radiology Dept. puts their ear phones on me, and I spend the next 15-20 minutes listening to Nessun Dorma. I am in pure bliss, all stress removed, and I am smiling from one ear to the other listening to my favorite Opera.❤️
@@carolcole570am in Atlanta too, what is that music therapy??
@@lxDastanxl LOL, just my own therapy since I detest MRI’s and the noise the machine makes. I even got my son-in-law to put the Nessun Dorma music on my cellphone as its ringer. By the way, my MRIs are done at Emory. Where do you live in Atlanta ? I am at Spaghetti Junction.❤️
When one experiences health issues of some concern, realization of the most important things in life truly are. Music gives joy. And joy is very high on that list! Bon chance, mon ami.
Just look at the intensity and concentration on that little child's face. It's amazing. 🎵🎶💐
Couldn't agree more!
This was very special to watch. Pavarotti touched everyone's life with his singing. I miss him so much.
Could the caption have been, “Baby shows zero reaction before, during or after Nessun Dorma?”
@@peterdelmonte9832 You didn't watch it very carefully.
That young Boy/ Girl could become a Opera fan. There's worst music to listen to.🇮🇹 🧐
Peter. You must have looked at something else not Pavrotti. Nessun Dorma Grande. The Boy/Girl didn't stop looking at Luciano. 🇮🇹 Grande.
@@brucekilby9957 And he started breathing heavily and his feet and hands were tensing up. I would say this baby definitely reacted very strongly to Pavarotti.
The little feet dancing with joy, the face filled with wonder, such a beautiful moment. Thank you for allowing us to witness this awakening of a young mind. Also, well done bringing this experience to your child.
It was like he was conducting with his feet. Perhaps in his last life he was a conductor.
@@humblecourageous3919 I think right there he decided that I would become one.
Indeed. I wonder if the Bay was also trying to understand the words.
Were we watching the same video? He was acting like a baby stuck in front of a TV.
My Sophie starts swaying and moving in time with the music and gets really animated.
Niño inteligente! Va a ser un grande
The most extraordinary and beautiful voice of the 20th Century in my opinion. It will be a long, long time before we are blessed with another Pavarotti. That little babies feet as he hit the top C said it all for me!
Great music will stop you in your tracks...... No matter how young or old you are!
Give Jussi Björling a listen ...
@@ttnyny Oh, no, no! Björling is a very good singer, but he is no match for Pavarotti. Pavarotti is the most beautiful tenor on the planet, no one in the world has ever had such a tone, nor does anyone today. There are many good tenors, Björling is good - but Pavarotti... That's a higher dimension.
Thank you for sharing this moment with us. I've forgotten how Pavarotti could tranxfix us! A fan in C T😢exas
@@nescionomen241I prefer Corelli, myself…😉
What a beautiful child! Directing the music with the feet is a rare talent.
For an infant to be so engrossed speaks volumes. Their smile near the end and the returning their attention proves their full engagement and joy in the music.
Thank you.
I think LP would have been pleased at the response, don't you?
@@scottjones1109 Very much.
That was beautiful. Kid totally transfixed.
Did anyone else notice how seldom she blinked once she got into it?
One of my favorites!
His warm and embracing song is so beautiful.
@@emordilap - I'll have to watch it again, I think I missed that!
My husband sang just like Pavarotti, he had a beautiful voice!
Rest In Love..Robert G.
Watching his rapt attention was so moving, but when he started conducting with his feet, I was overwhelmed with joy❣️
In all my years as a babysitter and later as a parent, it is a rare (very rare) moment when a toddler’s attention is that captivated. No toy, no pacifier, no hand fidgeting; absolute attention.
This is the power a great musical performance can have.
Exactly...👍👍
So true and I don't think he is a toddler yet, he is less then 1. 🤔 😃
And felt it down to their dancing feet and toes💝💝💝
@@philomenameyer3812 I think HE was a GIRL.
Loved the music and the baby💕🌹.
This baby's reaction to hearing Pavarotti sing was just beautiful. What a sweetheart.
Pavarotti looked like a big hairy baby.
This aria always brings on tears, especially hearing one of the greatest tenors of all time perform it. But seeing this beautiful little baby enjoying such a wonderful performance is just... I don't even know what to say. Maybe this baby is a prodigy and now knows her calling. ❤❤❤❤
My favorite opera; always makes me cry. But to see that sweet baby paying such attention, then the smile at the end; just precious! 🩷
Yeps. I remember my nephew asking me 'who sing?' when I had Pavarotti on when he had just learned to talk.
I TAUGHT MY NIECE HOW TO APPRECIATE OLD TIME COURNTY MUSIC. SHE LOVED IT. HER FATHER HATED ME FOR IT.
Baby was mesmerized and astonished by the beauty of Luciano’s voice. Conducting with his little feet adorable.
I couldn't have said it better!!
This is beautiful...Made me tear up. We just need love and unity for our children. ❤️
OMG how does this world deserve anything so sweet as this child. Bless him forever.❤
"Out of the mouth of babes". Totally mesmerized and happy no matter the language. The baby knows this is something special. A voice like this happens once a generation.
You are right! Aurora K.
Her tiny toes reacting to the high notes…so adorable.
Seeing this baby listening to Pavarotti singing is solo beautiful. He’s very intentional in his listening it seems. I was checking his happy feet. What better song to grab a baby’s total attention than “Nessun Dorma” sung by Pavarotti. Bravo to this precious baby and the great Pavarotti. ❤️
And the parents.
Baby took it all in and smiled. That was precious!!
I played this same aria for my then-2 year old son, and not only was he just as captivated as this sweet little one was, he was so deeply moved that tears started rolling down his cheeks, even as he smiled at me. Such is the power of music.
NOTHING has ever, or will ever resonate with humans the way music does. It is a significant part of the fabric of human existence. Imagine, if you can, what we'd be like had that first caveman not banged two rocks together-rhythmically?
Edith Piaf had the same effect upon my son at about the same age
Fascinating!!
❤
@@janmeyer3129 Edith Piaf -- I liked her rice.
More children this age needs to be exposed to this beautiful music. What a sweet little child. So intently watching and listening to Luciano. I loved it.
so important to introduce our little one to music and book...it opens their mind to better things...
I was exposed to beautiful music at that age. In fact, most folks of my generation were. Evening TV programming featured orchestras and classical luminaries. That's not the case today because "reality shows" are cheaper than paying recognized singers, dancers, and orchestras. It hurts me of when I listen to music like "Theme from a Summer Place" which was popular then--that would be allowed to the place and definitely wouldn't be appreciated.
I totally agree with you, when my 1st grandson was born I told his mother to let him mainly listen to classical piano as a newborn into toddler stage; emphasis on certain notes. She didn’t listen, but when my son got married & started his family he remembered me telling his sister. Some kids don’t listen and others do, and heed what they hear.
This beautiful baby is caught up in the beauty of the song.
This was adorable…I’m not generally a sloppy person ..but that beautiful BEAUTIFUL baby was so hooked by this emotional song ….and yet glanced across at you twice near the end as much as to say “ this song is beautiful mummy isn’t it “ ? Gave the sweetest smile of acceptance and emotion. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Enjoyment down to his little toes! What a joy! 😍 Retired music teacher here ❤
I was going to say her toes 😄
The child is mesmerized by the voice and music..thats astonishing..I love that his feet move in time with the music...the child completely enjoys the performance...I absolutely love the smile and the raise of his chin toward the end of the song..music gives us a universal understanding of perfection ...Pavarotti is that perfection!
Yes, his feet!
Moi je préfère de loin Placido Domingo !
@@evelynejacquet5285 He hugged me too. And 1,000% GENTLEMAN! Whoever lied about him better not meet me on a dark night!
Puccini
I don’t suppose the composer Puccini had anything to do with it.
There were only a very few artists that made the world a better and brighter place with just there music. Pavarotti was one of them.
Living in his present moment. And what beautiful moments this child has shared.
When my mother was pregnant with me, my father was singing in a local production of Merry England. That was many decades ago I am not young. I would also sing around the piano with my father every opportunity I could. I so enjoy the beautiful voices of the tenors. My children enjoy some of the classics too. I currently sing in my church choir. We need to educate our children just as this little one is, in the finer music.
Nice to have a church choir x
All music is fine. All music is good. Except for the ones that are poorly written. However, it’s quite annoying how younger people today for the most part can’t appreciate classical music or at least respect it for what it is. I’m the second youngest in my family and yet my oldest brother is stupidly ignorant and once referred to an opera I was listening to as “Banshee screaming”. Really sucks.
What a sweetheart! she was enthralled by this!!! Your doing good by getting her acquainted with classics and opera.
I adore the opera but what do you jean by "the finer music?"
@@janeclarkson8471 I think she means classic music in general.
The baby's focus was phenomenal. He felt the music and Pavarotti's voice, his heart was moved. You could see it in his breathing and his feet! He'll love music throughout his life because it enters his soul.
I watced the feet too so involved and such Exstacy it seems
If it had been Rap or Hip Hop he would have probably have thrown himself out of the chair 😇😇😇😇
His feet, yes! Little feet dancing. It's not random because as soon as the music stopped, the feet did also!
He looked toward the camera to smile his approval and gratitude, and then went right back to watching and listening 😚
@@bobrail733 kkkkk Rap is normally aggressive
his voice always brings tears to my eyes, he had a true gift.
Absolutely gorgeous, the power of music not only works for the young but has healing powers for the elderly, frail and vulnerable people 💖
This kid just gained some IQ points, besides developing a music appreciation.. Keep up the good work, mom and dad!!
A baby with a thousand times more musical intelligence than all the teenagers on earth!
@Philip Whatcott
Hey, hey, let’s not be so cynical now! There are many a young person that adores opera. I am one. Not everyone my age is infatuated with those ridiculously repetitive, saturated, annoying rappers and boy bands.
True, I was 11 the first time I heard Luciano's voice and I thought "that's so loud".
Nice touch of drama to your insulting and yet intended compliment , but there are some of us who’ve raised our children also with an exquisite appreciation to music and other arts….😊
You are so rigth, this is the best way to show a little mind what the good music is all about. Way to go dear parents!!
@@lindildeev5721 Thats kind of the point, Opera Stars don't rely on microphones so have to be incredibly loud to be heard over the insane sound of the orchestra. Even in this video Pavarotti does not have a microphone amplifying his voice, its simply a microphone for recording purposes only
Such a beautiful child. Those eyes are gorgeous 😍. So attentive to the music once it came on. Just precious.
I'm not a baby, but when he hits the high notes, I got shivers.
Amazing how captivated the baby was by Pavarotti. I noticed his breathing changed the more emotional the music became. The sweet smile slayed me. I think it's wonderful that you're exposing your little one to such beauty. Those tiny feet keeping time! 😍
I was feeding peas to my BFF's baby, which she didn't like & didn't want to eat. As a way to get her to eat, I started humming "Votre Toast" ("Toreador Song") from "Carmen" by Bizet, as I fed her. When she had finished the peas & I stopped humming, she started to kick her heels against her high chair, in time with the music. I was stunned.
He also slowly stopped fiddling with the pacifier or whatever it was in his hand and set it down.
@@jwoolman5 I know. That is when you could tell he was totally taken in by the music & singing. His facial expression changed when Pavarotti started singing in his higher register. Tears also started welling up in his eyes. What a wonderful sight. It reminds me of the 1st time I heard Opera, on TV. I was enthralled & glued to the TV.
I noticed that, too, right around 1:10!
His feet 🥰
Loved the baby's feet. Moving in circles, as if he could feel the music through his souls. His face was transfixed. Pavarotti's voice was extraordinary in person. Impossible to describe why it was truly different than other great opera singers. The recordings are amazing but absolutely not the same. The sound was unforgettable, even to an opera singer (me) and one I will never forget. Who knows what effect hearing this will have on the baby in years to come. Thanks for sharing it.
It’s like watching Michael Jordan play on TV and seeing him play in person. It’s a whole other level and impossible to explain. You have to experience it to know.
It’s amazing! He was conducting with his cute little feet.😊
Isnt that a little girl??
@@robinmp8300 What difference does it make regarding the content of the video?
@@robinmp8300 who cares, it’s a human!
You’ve given her a memory that will last with her for the rest of her life. A beautiful moment.
What a sensitive, focused baby! Those are signs of fine intellect. ♥️
The baby was so moved by the music, that he conducted with his own little feet! 😍
Lol, thats what I was seeing too
Yes..he was..🤗💕💯
Yes the reborn Maestro certainly did, and gave the exact finishing instruction to the piece which blew me away...Bravo!👏
Yes, unlike dance music causing you to move your feet to the beat of the music, this operatic performance causes the baby to move his little feet in a natural conducting way.
I could not believe it when I noticed that.
It is fascinating to see her captivated by the music and Pavarotti’s voice. She started to fill up with emotion.
This! I kept expecting tears to form....understanding. This was so beautiful to watch!
I was expecting tears too...
I hope this wee lad can carry his contentment all his life . What a plus to the world that would be . Thank you for the 3 and a half minutes of sheer joy.
The baby's reaction is priceless. I especially loved her feet twirling around with the music!!
This is not only a child's pure and fresh reaction to Pavarotti's extraordinary voice, but also a reaction to the exquisite composition of Puccini. This is the mystical power of music, and we are hardwired to receive it!
The compositions of the Masters are eternal.
Watching the reaction of this little one makes my heart soar because I know these composers & their music will never be forgotten.
💞🎼Puccini🎼💞
"This is the mystical power of music, and we are hardwired to receive it!"
Absolutely.
@@gmvalentine626, I'm glad you liked that! I'm a musician, and I truly believe this.
My 93 year old mother has dementia and this is exactly what she does when Pavarotti is on my iPad. I love his voice, it’s so soothing and this beautiful baby is a testament to that. My mom too, could gaze at her endlessly while she listens to him sing. Great video, God bless!💜🎶🙏🎵😇
Try playing the version by Jussi Bjorling for her. She might remember him and his voice is much better than Pavarotti IMO.
Praying for your mom and you to be comforted by music. It reaches a part of us that is always intact....our feelings. Blessings as you walk a difficult path.
My father also has dementia. I always play him music on my phone when visiting him. He loves music from war years such as Chatanooga choo choo by Glenn Miller orchestra. So glad I can make him happy during these sad twilight years.
(He passed away last week )
Plus, it’s one of the most beautiful pieces of music
I am part of a group that sings sometimes in memory care units. Even the most non-verbal people respond beautifully to music, and sometimes even sing along, if it is a song they knew from "before".
wow!!! Baby put all his attention in the song and music. Every cell from head to feet were concentrated in the music. Amazing! That was fantastic for him 🥰🥰
It gives me goosebumps watching the intent of the baby’s eyes while watching, listening.. as if she’s feeling every bit of it ❤❤❤
This is so lovely. Baby drops the pacifier and doesn’t blink throughout the performance. Also he could have easily led the orchestra… with his feet!! 😂
At one point, when the choir was singing, and LP was about to hit crescendo part of this aria, I thought the baby was gonna cry because of how beautiful this music is. Good on you for getting the baby used to a good music early! ❤❤
I cry when I hear that part. I can't listen to opera without becoming emotional.
A tug at my heart and a lump in my throat..
Watching this precious child be filled with emotion turned me into a sniveling mess. How beautiful it must have been in real life. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Focused eyes, fast beating heart, angelic smile, and happy teeny weeny feets are cheeries on top ❤
This gave me goose-bumps watching the beauty of innocence, emotion, attention, awe and concentration in this little soul.
Children can be extremely perceptive and sensitive to music. My granddaughter (6) is growing up in a happy but not particularly musical home. I was moved and intrigued to see how transfixed she was, a year ago, by Bach’s St. Matthew Passion on the television, for more than half an hour, even singing along, in her own way, with the sopranos. Some people understand the language of beauty and complex emotions from an early age.
It was make me cry! He lefts the toy and he relaxes his arms and is completely attentive, at some point he even raises his chin like following the voice… then you can see he likes it because of the moment with the mouth, like eating, then moving the feet. So moving and cute! Thank you ❤❤❤
At one point, the baby lifts his head slightly (as I have always done when beautiful music touches me - completely automatic) which told me he gets it! Pavarotti’s gift changed the world for so many!!
It's official now... If I need to distract my toddler or keep her busy, I am playing opera! She seems captivated by it! Very sweet girl.❤
That’s an insult to opera.
@@user-ev4ie2wx7k how?
This video was such a joy to watch. I was totally entranced by the child's obvious enjoyment of the music and, of course, I just loved listening to Pavarotti. Thanks for sharing.
This was so beautiful to watch!! You can see the baby's response in her face and the movement of her body. She was completely enchanted by the great Pavarotti's performance. And at the end , it was like she was clapping with her feet. This was the best 3 minutes I've seen on UA-cam in quite a while. ❤️❤️❤️
Must not have much of a life
just beautiful ❤️👶
Amen!
What makes you so sure it's a girl? Lol, I thought it was a beautiful little boy. Either way, an enchantingly handsome child......how I would love to be able to rock and cuddle he or she in my arms. Babies are indeed God's greatest gift to us.
I also that the baby is a boy
Not just babies, animals too! Our cats were completely transfixed when we played our Mario Lanza album one Christmas. During O Holy Night , they sat side by side between the speakers like statues and didn't move so much as a whisker until the song ended. I wish we'd had smartphones back then to capture the moment!
Thank you. I didn’t want to be the first to mention this. All of my animals and especially one empathetic cat LOVED any sort of classical music. They all hated any sort of rock or audiobooks though, except one cat would come running whenever I’d go to sleep listening to a Jeeves saga audiobook. Maybe he secretly wished I were a British butler?
@@just.joolie One of the cats also loved the sound of the glockenspiel in 'Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen' when we listened to The Magic Flute 😀
I have a cat story. I was at a friend's house who played a DVD of nature sounds at the beach. I was just asking if the calls of the gulls were natural sounding as a recording played through speakers when their cat came racing across the floor from another room! He ran up to the TV, was totally confused. After all, where were the birds? So funny, we knew that this was an expert and the gull sounds were totally authentic.
@@just.joolie I had a budgie who loved to sing along with Bocelli. But he also enjoyed Queen and Tina Turner 😆
yea my old dog used to come into the room from the hall where he was resting if i was playing classical music or accousttic guitar and plop himself down at my feet. The minute i changed to rock he would get up and go back to the hall.....love you forever rags
absolutely LOVED this thank you for posting it - what a joy!
Nessun Dorma, a very powerful composition sung by Pavarotti, it never fails to stir emotions. 💖
At first I was transfixed by how the baby was laser focused on the video. Then I noticed she was conducting the performance with her little feet. Absolutely precious! My late father was a huge Pavarotti fan. Somewhere in Opera Heaven Pavarotti is smiling and whispering "Cara mia Ti voglio benne assaje" and Caruso is having a jealousy fit.
When my youngest was about 6 months old she would sit and watch the whole Three Tenors special...totally mesmerized.
So attentive captivated and focused. Love his expression 🎉😅. Mom play this again 😅
Beautiful baby, gorgeous child, learning what great music is! What could be better?
Bravo!
So twenty years later, the baby becomes a famous tenor, and he gets asked, “What inspired you to become an opera singer?” He says, “I saw Luciano Pavarotti sing his famous aria Nessun Dorma from my high chair. That’s when I learned the meaning of wow!”
A girl, actually.
Those little feet twirling during the last crescendo was adorable. I believe it encapsulates how most of us feel during the end of this amazing performance ❤.
Precious 💕
Beautiful child. ♥️
My now-21-year-old did that. I noticed when he was months old and sitting in his chair, when he was absorbing something new, his feet and toes would "dance". I noticed the same thing happening with other babies (I work on Disney property in Florida and there are lots of babies without footwear in strollers lol). I believe that as their brains process and absorb new info, their toes move according to how their brains knit their mind map together.
The next time you see a baby quietly looking around with active feet and toes, they're most likely processing the stimuli they're receiving through their senses. My son grew up with a robust mind map that he's continuing to build and revise; he is turning into a wise, caring adult, and yes, his toes continue to dance (I asked lol) when he's in deep thought.
Браво родителям,это с детства вырабатывает настоящий вкус!!!
What a gorgeous little baby that has the sweetest smile. He or she is mesmerized by Pavarotti’s voice. I was mesmerized by this baby being mesmerized.
This is emotional dynamite. The expression on this baby’s face and riveted attention looks exactly how I feel whenever I play Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma. Notice that he stops holding the toy and his breathing rate changes as the piece progresses. This unbelievably beautiful little child has just has his life changed forever! How fortunate he is to have someone care enough and have the foresight to share the experience.
I too noticed the baby drop the toy and breathing change. Beautiful.

pavarotti, great singer and world class baby sitter
I love listening to Pavarotti.
I too thought how lucky he was to have someone (his parents?) put that video on. I wish I’d done that when I was raising my children - I’d never thought of it. So much positive stuff to explore and to expose to our children - so much better than some of the videos most people allow their kids to watch.
I shared this with my three daughters who are grown. They grew up listening to Andrew Lloyd Weber and my hope is that they continue to explore. The beautiful baby instinctively knew the emotion portrayed and the attention was instantaneous. Amazing in so many ways.
Yes, we played ALL kinds of music for our kids from Raffi to Beethoven, to Peter, Paul and Mary to Andrew Lloyd Webber. When they were pretty young we took them to see Yitzak Perlman in concert. Even though our little girl fell asleep in the second half, she still experienced the best of the best IN PERSON. Living in/near Orlando, we routinely took them to see local music productions of Broadway classics that did not cost much. So if they got restless we could leave without feeling we hadn't gotten our money's worth. We'd play the albums at home prior to the event so they were familiar with the music, and of course, played them afterward to everyone's enjoyment. Finally we would take them to Broadway touring productions -- The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables stand out as performances they and we parents will never forget. Now that little girl has grown into a 38 year old woman who manages rock concert tours, traveling the world -- Sydney Opera House, Hollywood Bowl, China, Indonesia, Europe, Mexico, etc. YOU NEVER KNOW how those early childhood experiences will affect your child in terms of lifelong interests and even a career. NOTHING you ever do for a child is wasted. NOTHING.
Ohhh Andrew Lloyd Webber ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Con todo respeto, no la chingues, no compares Loyd Weber con Puccini...
Babies inside the womb listen snd abdord whatever is going outside.
Ot is mentioned in the Hindu scripture .
OMG!!!! Just watching this most precious baby's face has made me cry....gorgeous baby with excellent taste in music.
U could tell by her expression and her breathing how much this song moved her to her core. There is no denying that she loved hearing it.
What a cutie pie she is. Those wittle cheeks, perfect nose, and gorgeous smile makes u want to hug on her...she is magnificent ❤
What a beautiful and very smart child. 💜
First, Baby is ADORABLE! Second, Baby is completely mesmerized. Third, I just loved the way Baby looked across the room and smiled. Fourth those happy feet are the cutest! ❤❤❤
Yes, so stop killing them.....in the womb!!!!!
My words!
The little side smile was adorable.
Firstly, what an absolutely gorgeous baby!! Secondly, I was captivated by the reaction to this beautiful song. Such feel good factor. :)
Lo más sorprendente, la atención constante a lo que veía y escuchaba, veía como su pecho subía y bajaba, pensé que acabaría llorando, como yo, que me emociona mucho este area y ya luego el ritmo con sus piececitos 🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️🇪🇦
That was some great bare foot directing of the musical score...marvelous!!
I'm a great grandmother who loved this inspired music since I was very young. So smart of his parent to expose him early to music, esp classical!
What a beautiful child. I wasn't expecting this....what a treat. Now I need to find a tissue for my tears. Thank you for finding me tonight.
This baby is a being from heaven. The entire song resonates to her, as if she already has heard that before. Not that Pavarotti is a special heavenly person, but has a gift for singing, and those gifts come from above.
Her feet speak and they are beautiful. Her head is perfect. She is so calmed and together that does not act like a baby. Definitely, they are a gift from God!
Imagine having that treasure in your arms!!!
This post has been edited because at the beginning I thought it was a boy. This baby has stolen my heart.
I love how he’s directing the orchestra with his cute little feet! Well actually they aren’t so little, are they?
This child is so beautiful!! , it is a delight to behold him., and his mother and father are truly blessed to have such a child. It certainly appears that he is fully absorbed in the beautiful voice and music. It does look as though he is “directing” the orchestra. Such sweet feet!! 💕🎶
@@twatts1523 I agree, his feet are long and slender, with long toes. . My mother used to say that long slender feet are a sign of intelligence. She called them “intelligent feet” and iwill add that they are also a sign of artisitc talent.
it's a girl :-D
@@ullapierrienevoldsen1865 I noticed that also.
Generally at that age attention span is short, but this baby was captivated. When music is introduced at a young age an area in the back of the brain develops more than the one who didn't hear it in these formative years. What a beautiful baby. Wonderful to watch the fascination. Awesome video.
D H, I agree, except that I see that beautiful baby moved far beyond
‘fascinated’. All 5 senses plus the 6th sense are fired and communicating with each other, reaching a crescendo just as the music does! The baby stops touching the toy, hands drop quietly to lap, and then her feet suddenly look to be conducting❣️
That seemed to be an experience her brain probably ran through repeatedly in her dreams 😉
Pedantic, I know, but you don’t “reach a crescendo”; you reach a climax. A crescendo is what you use to get there.
I like how his feet were reacting.
@@karinbarger9192 Yes, or perhaps in a past life. Amazing!
So completely transfixed, gloriously listening, amazing😍
Precious. The baby was transfixed, really was lost in the music, nearing the end the little feet was moving in a manner as he, she, was conducting, unbelievable.
That’s the most precious thing I’ve seen in a long time.. this sweet baby is going to be a opera fan in the future! You can see this baby enjoyed it ..baby you have good taste! Lol ❤️
Expose this little baby to the classic as he is growing up and it will be with him all his life. What a gift you would be giving!
@@RetiredLover You so correct i am now 75 and I remembered listening on Saturday evenings classical music with my dad. Still prefer it although I love all music.
Me too. I'll always be greatful to my mom for exposing me to classics of all kinds. It's enriched my life tremendously.
As a psychologist, I found this absolutely fascinating! We are all largely the products of our upbringing and as a music nutter myself I have no doubt that my love for music was stimulated by the music that was forever playing in our house when I was a toddler in the late 50s.
I grew up singing from the time of about two years old. I was in every church choir I attended, I later became a lyric soprano. Such is the gripping power of music, as to render all cares and woes, mist in the morning sunlight
Hey Doc, I too am a "music nut" and although I'm "only" 62, I know and can sing along to 99 percent of the "pop" music going back to the 40's. I believe this is so because that music was the "backdrop" of my youth. My parents weren't into music, we never even had a radio in the house until I got a transistor around nine-years-old. But somehow I know, appreciate and enjoy so much of the "classics" from before my time-up to the 70's/80s.
You may want to look into somatic healing then. Wow.
@@InviteTheLightReadings I read "somatic therapy has been shown to be an effective form of therapy for numerous psychiatric and physical issues." Mind to disclose how, where and by whom it has been "shown" to be that? #Thanks
Ohhhh yes ! My dear mum eve ry night of my early life; right boys off you go. My brother and I and father retreated to other rooms. And for two hours, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Bach, Mozart, Hayden etc one night. Next night all the 30’s Swing etc and war years, White Cliffs of Dover, Sleepy Lagoon.
Another night, all Roger’s and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, bit of Fats Domino, Hoagy Carmichael etc… another time all the classic Hymns and Anthems
Then once every couple of months a gathering of the Clan…(Scottish Roots), bagpipes and country dancing.
Year 10 my whole class went to wave and cheer at the famous Liverpool four. And the rest of the 60’s and 70’ saw the explosion of singer songwriters par excellence. Then a gradual decline into pop porn, visually and musically.
Driving the car I’m singing People will say We’re in Love, from Oklahoma, some of Paul McCartneys love songs, Road to the Isles, Aye fond Kiss. An Eagles and Jackson Brown…
Then someone says Love some Rap man… utter disbelief. ( don’t respond). What a discount on the Magnificence and Glory and Transcendence of the tiny sample of our musical legacy…from Melbourne Australia….
Adorable! You can tell in the baby's eyes that this sweetheart is an old soul.
I wish the whole world was as innocent as that little angel.
That child is so beautiful. And utterly spell bound by the music, this aria always gives me goosebumps.
Indeed. This the power of true greatness. It affects us deeply no matter what age we are. This aria still gives me chills each time I hear it too. ❤
I keep tissues handy when I hear this
@@karenford5642 Me too....tears running down my face right now!
