      Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.
      Romans 6:23
      John 3:16❤❤😊

      And yet less than a hundred years ago, opera was very much a performance for the everyday public, not only the elite. My Italian parents were poor as church mice, but would go to the opera while courting. Probably not in the best opera houses and probably not the best seats, but it was far from entertainment for just the "elite". Maybe that was just the Italy of the 50's. But my father was as blue collar as you could get and he had a massive collection of Opera records. Different era, different culture, i suppose. But yes, Pavarotti and his divine voice transcends time and music.

    I have watched several versions of this song. None come close to this rendition.
    Edit - I’ve watched even more renditions by the great tenors, and up and coming. One thing stands out from with Pavarotti. His voice is the focus and extension of the orchestra, versus being drowned out by the orchestra. I haven’t seen anyone perform this song with as much power without their voice being overwhelmed by the orchestra in all or at least part of the song. Not Pavarotti. His voice is actually verging on overpowering the orchestra but he reins it in with perfect pitch and harmony.

      Bocelli has done a few renditions that give Pavarotti a run for his money.
      Pavarotti's voice cannot be denied though absolute legend.

    Nobody shall sleep!
    Nobody shall sleep!
    Even you, oh 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!

    At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win!

    For those who are curious about the story behind this piece: it is an aria from the opera Turandot by Puccini. It talks about this princess named Turandot that doesn't want to marry anyone so she establishes this strange rule that every man that want to marry her has to solve 3 enigmas and if they fail one they will be executed. Many men tries and die, but one day this man comes from a city far far away and nobody knows him or his name. He solves the 3 enigmas, so the princess has to marry him but, as I said, she doesn't want to be engaged with anyone. So her future husband gives her a chance: if the princess will found out his name before the sun arise in the sky he will refuse to marry her. This is why they sing "Nessun dorma" (Nobody sleeps) because everybody has to help the princess discover this name. Then he sings "Il mio mistero è chiuso in me, il nome mio nessun saprà" (my mistery is closed in me, nobody will know my name) and then other prhases in which he asks to the moon and the stars to go away so that the morning will come, and by the end he sings "e all'alba vincerò! Vincerò! VINCERÒ!" (and in the morning I will win! I will win! I WILL WIN!) because he is sure that there is no way anybody in all the reign knows his name.
    This was very simplified but that's it
    IMPORTANT EDIT: I made a mistake, I'm sorry. By the end he sings "E all'alba vincerò! Vincerò! VINCERÒ!" because Calaf (that's the name of the man) wants to tell his name to the princess Turandot by himself while kissing her, so that she will choose to marry him because she loves him and not because she has to. I'm so sorry

    When I was meeting him I used to salute him with just one word: "Maestro..." and he always smiled and saluted back, like a true lord.

      This is a performance for a pop audience, made without proper training etc.., an exibition for those people who love Bocelli and Il Volo, I bet they're shocked by a real opera tenor like Pavarotti.

      Bro, same here. Iraq, 2008. Check out Andrea and Matteo Bocelli's "Fall on Me". It's a father-son duet that still wrecks me. There is a lot that changes with age. Roll with it and thank God for the gifts and blessings it brings.

      @@puckered6036 if that's how you choose to see it, that's on you. Being unwilling to consider the possibility that such music was outside of cultural lexicon is a you problem. We were never meant to know and experience all, that would be impossible. Spend less time looking down your nose at others, and you may begin to see the things you didn't get to see until forced on you by life.

      I've always listened to rock. Grew up on the 70's and 80's stuff, added in Rammstein and others when I got older. But this.....this moves me like nothing else. I played tuba for two years in jr high and being in the middle of that, when we got it going just right.....amazing.

      If this is the only one you know, or you’ve ever heard, yes. Otherwise is nothing ‘unmatched’ and even less ‘unmatchable’. If you think This is ‘unmatched’ or ‘unmatchable’ have a listen to Corelli.

      @@toivonencresto True, But everything just thinks Pavarotti is unbeatable. Which in my opinion he almost isn't beatable. There are some amazing tenors out there but Pavarotti does it the best, The emotion he puts into every single song is unreal.
