“Music is more than mathematics. And I am much more than a programme with musical subroutines. All of my experience, all of my passion, goes into every note that I sing. When you listen to me, when my singing moves you, you're not just hearing notes. You're hearing my artistry. My soul.” ~ Doctor, “Virtuoso”
All the star-trek series are very good but for me Voyager comes out on top. A simple tempory hologram is developed into an amazing character. I can't think of a better person than Picardo to take this part. He was amazing all through the Voyager series. Bravo
Correction the voice we hear is recorded, however he wasn't lip syncing either. He was singing to the audience, but for sound reasons they dubbed the recording over what he sang. Look at his tongue movements, cheek and throat muscles, and how he flushed a bit during the sustained high note....
@@funkmantim2661 The issue was quite simple: he's an actor and thus not a good enough singer. I forgot the name of the opera singer who voiced this part, but I think his version of the piece is better than how it's usually sung. And his voice really resembles that of the actor, which is a huge plus.

JM Libre Really hate to be that guy “Monti e mari essa varca per tornar Solo [l’] amore, Quando fugge va lontano ” So that would be “She crosses mountains and seas to come back Only/Just love, When it flies it goes far away”
Robert Picardo is pretending to sing. The actual performance is by Agostino Castagnola. The piece is composed by Vincenzo de Crescenzo. It is called Rondine al nido. You can find the actual performance on UA-cam.
No, he did sing the song as the scene was being filmed. That is why it matches so well with the voice of Mr. Castagnola, which was played over the set sound system.
I know this is an old comment but... This is by far my favorite piece of his. You are correct, the reason they did the voice dub was because of the acoustics on the sound stage. It would not have given this song the depth and tone it needed. His other small songs aboard Voyager didn't require it.
Two years later after I made the bellow comment I come back to make a correction. I really love this song so I started to learn more about the song itself when I came across info online that Robert Picardo DID NOT actually sing this song. My being sure that he did was based on the fact that he sang opera before, but not this aria. This is what Picardo says about it: "I get asked constantly by the fans if I did all of the singing on the show and the fact is that I did almost all of my singing. I did all of my singing except for the second half of [#133 Virtuoso]. The Don Carlo duet and Rondino al Nido are voiced by an opera singer Augostino Castellnano (I hope I spelled that correctly)(correct name: Agostino Castagnola). (For instance, the Tincoo hologram's aria was, deliberately so, too musically difficult and required a professional singer.) He's a terrific guy. I simply couldn't sing high enough or well enough to pull them off, but I did my own singing in [The Swarm], [Tinker, Tenor...], [Renaissance Man], [Someone to Watch Over Me] and all the others."

the theatre is built on the late renaissance theatre in Vicenza, Italy (I've been there, it's the same) the first theatre with a three-dimensional background. Amazing. Teatro Olimpico contrustrec by Palladio 1580. If ever in Vicenza, spend the money to go through the theatre. Unique.
@@MrJamHH He sings La Donna e Mobile himself in that scene with Tuvok, but this is very much another tenor's performance dubbed over. The duet with himself of Dio che nell'alma infondere is also dubbed. Compare the scenes, their voices are entirely different
Although Picardo did most or perhaps all of the Doctor's other singing, and he is incidentally a competent singer, this performance is masterfully lipsynched to a performance by Giuseppe Di Stefano.
Of all the times Doc sang on Voyager, this is the only lipsync... because Picardo (a trained singer) wasn't happy with his performance and requested an overdub. Hey Trek franchise people, we want the EMH back!
There is nothing strange about that. What is strange, is people think it's strange to like more than one genre of music. I love EDM, I listen to it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. However, that doesn't mean I don't listen to rap, opera, or jazz. I just don't listen to them as much.
FYI... while Picardo can sing very well... I'm fairly certain I saw a behing-the-scenes video once that had him saying he did not sing this particular piece....
Without a doubt, the best "Doctor" episode from Voyager. Back when Star Trek could genuinely move you and evoke emotions with a story, even a story about the life and times of a holographic medical program. Now it's all about pew, pew, pews and "the message". SAD!
If I heard it when I was a child and I knew cuz my father said listen to this the greatest of all time as soon as they hear his name they're going to know him it's in Star Trek Father his name is doc we're on the same exact path from different juxtapositions that love EE E everything has the space
Agh actually the person singing is agostino castagnola; he's not a big name singer and it seems like he sung this just for this episode. Look at his bio and he's done things for like family guy and robot chicken.... Interesting
Is that actually Robert Picardo singing? I know he can sing but didn't know he could do it this well, and the inflections don't quite match any other version of this song I can find.
ua-cam.com/video/BwUmxeXwYfs/v-deo.html for the actual song by Augostino Castagnola of whom mr. Picardo does the voice over. In my opinion the very, very, very best rendition of this beautiful passionate piece was chosen for this epic episode of Star Trek.
This episode is rather poignant and sad, when you think about it. This species is incapable of appreciation of the effect of the emotion BEHIND the music or songs. They only see the numbers, patterns and the like. It tells you, as a whole, their species is advanced-but painfully flawed.
@starsweet4, He was lip syncing indeed, BUT he was doing it to a song that was actually recorded with his own voice. The one singing is Robert Picardo and I guess it is purely for reasons of quality that they have chosen to play a pre-recorded song. As I said...this is him singing and that is indeed his voice. How many actors or EMHs for that matter do you know who can sing like that? :))
I know I get to play it thanks to you without you on bridge Bridges all the way bridge at it at I know never supposed to been there e a r t h i love you
The EMH was easily the worse "character" in the entire Star Trek mythos. He was interesting at first, but they quickly just took a wrong turn and made him as annoying as conceivably possible. Sorry, not trying to bash, but I thought this was a joke vid...

Music is everything and to have someone sing for you, not just to you, is an honour I can only imagine.

Pretty obvious that this wasn't his voice. Still, it's one of my favourite Voyager moments.
@@darkaquatus actually he is, in fact, a trained Broadway singer.
Picardo is an amazing talent- thank goodness this character found him and he got the opportunity to showcase his capabilities.
That’s not his voice btw, although he can sing irl
@@benyseus6325Are you sure? I heard that Picardo was actually a trained opera singer in real life.
@@Elly3981 yes, they prerecorded an actual opera singer and overlaid it for this scene. Picardo is singing in other scenes in this episode however
I like this episode, it was as if the producers had said "Hey, Picardo can sing, why didn't we use his talent yet?".
I think this is the only time Picardo is not actually the one singing
Sotto la gronda
Della torre antica
Una rondine amica
Allo sbocciar del mandorlo è tornata
Ritorna tutti gli anni
Sempre alla stessa data
Monti e mari scavalca
Per tornar
Vola rondine
Quando fugge va lontano
Spero invano e non torni più
Spero invano e non torni più

Under the eaves
Of the ancient tower
A friendly swallow
At the blossoming of the almond tree it is back
Return every year
Always on the same date
Mountains and seas climbs over
To come back
Fly swallow
When he flees, he goes far
I hope in vain and do not come back anymore
I hope in vain and do not come back anymore

I could not imagine myself enjoying opera or operatic type music, but this song was beautiful, it touched me.
Rondine al Nido. A famous singer was Beniamino Gigli.
Is an ancient napolitan song.
The swell of this song is awe inspiring....and certainly can bring a tear to the eye.
A Wonderful sad song About a lost love: I am sad and lonely. You ran away never to return.
best version ever
always get ghoosebumbs when i hear this
very touching
@pthorn91
Song title is "Rondine Al Nido", composer was "Vincenzo de Crescenzo"
Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
This makes me cry.
One of the few episodes that even I as a non Star Trek Fan (for lack of a better term) remember.
I'm commander Shepard, and this is my favorite voyager episode ever.

Beautiful great singer so good big head just don't understand what you can do doctor well done 👍 🙌
Coming from someone who loves his jazz, there's something strangely beautiful in opera.
There is nothing strange about that. What is strange, is people think it's strange to like more than one genre of music.

EARTH YOU'RE SAFE AND SOUND YOU CHANGE YOU'RE IMMORTAL
on the movie Rust where the lady died by being shot....Why diddnt they use mirrors?
There are many instruments, but non as beautiful as the human voice.

Agostino Castagnola
Yes your right it was him who sang it Not picardo but ever other song in the eps was him
Man, Picardo can sing.
He really did sing that song but they dubbed pavoratti over his voice in the scene.
he looks like he's lip syncing unlike in his other singing scenes (where he's not)
