stupendo maestro Pavarotti

[USNA2008]

Why is there an Aryan chick in Mantua???

[Ludlow889]

@USNA2008 There are a fair number of blondes in northern Italy, actually. The women in Italy don't all look like Sophia Loren.

coool music

[shadowofblood80]

They didn't really dislike it they just misunderstood the thumbs up system.

[thrash00010]

1 person is justin bieber ._.

[thomastmwc]

hahaha it looks as if Pavarotti would rape Gruberova...

[appeace1]

@thomastmwc lol--yup, I doubt very seriously that either the Duca nor Pava were ever told "no". When she faces him and he holds her head and forms the words as if he is going to kiss her--Ackkkkkk--thud! (no worries--just me melting into the floor!)

[Anxuela]

does someone know where can I find the lyrics?

[dangerousmezzo]

Anyone who thinks Paul Potts is an opera singer needs to listen to Pavarotti.

[MrMrmike5]

@dangerousmezzo pual potts is just a successor to bocelli to sing the popular songs and look pretty and make everyone a fan of opera but not a real virtuoso in opera, i wonder if potts has ever sang in an opera house yet?

[telephilia]

An opera without a hero. Poor girl!!

[alflig1]

ce ne faremo una ragione...

[HAMENKLAVIER480]

addio addio ............

[FrauGesty]

Muito lindo

[Punkerdux]

0:19 xD Ese pavaroti

[alflig1]

ammazza quant'è brutta 'sta regia... saga delle ovvietà. meno male che c'è luciano!



[JrBaritono]

Mi spiace ma dissento completamente le Regie televisive e non di Jean Pierre Ponelle credo siano tra le migliori che siano mai state eseguite assieme a quelle di Zeffirelli!

[norbird88]

Love this since i heard it in cs_ italy in counter strike :))

[31122051]

Duca di Mantova = Luciano Pavarotti !!!

[ferrierepc]

but your desire to look or feel superior, by making me feel small and undereductaed, was just uncalled for and unkind. Was not necessary. Yup, I am over reacting, and now sorry that I did, but too late for that, I tried to show off, naming operas I have seen and telling you that I had heard of those singers, all true, but it made me like you, a how off. Ok...now gone on much too long and feel stupid for 2nd time....helped the first time, and I did it the 2nd time all on my own. I wish you well.

[ferrierepc]

as he was terrorizing everyone on the page and was so rude and behavior uncalled for (his screen name is a give away) toward us all. All I mean, and yes, I am over reacting, and typing badly, that perhaps giving someone, me in this case, the benefit of the doubt, rather than just writing us off as someone lower than you are and uncouth, uneductaed, unworthy of your knowledge, who'd rather put down that educate, is such a waste of YOUR knowlege. Again, my comment was innocent, had you looked CONT

[ferrierepc]

continued....becuase had you wanted, or tried to instruct me on something you felt I was mistaken about or might have benefited from advice that you could have shared with me, that would be delightful. However, with your "if you've even ever heard of these people" or however it went, that was a dig that was uncalled for. You didn't even bother to ask, prior to the sarcasm, about my comment, you just assumed I was a dolt. Once on youtube, I had to retaliate to one named 'IWANNAEATYOURMAMA'. con't

[ferrierepc]

Me again. Reread your comment to me and realized that you were not just commenting, but trying to be demeaning and sarcastic. Yes, I have heard of Fleming, Gheorghiu and have seen my share of operas in some amazing places. Saw 'A Life for the Tsar' and 'Boris Gudonov' at Mariinsky in Petersburg, 'Boheme', 'Carmen' ++ at the MET in my hometown. 'Carmen", again, in Prague (not good), and 'Tosca' at a small venue in Rome. The saying, 'you get more flies with honey' fits here.

[ferrierepc]

Hi. Just got your message about my comparing SB to MC. Many on that site were saying how SB and MC were similar. One person took them to task, disagreeing with them. I was agreeing with that person, saying that although SB has come a long way since her Phantom days, she is no MC and could never project like MC, Licia Albenese...etc. I was not comparing the 2, just agreeing with one who said what you did to me. I agree wirh you. Pls excuse confusion. I hope I didn't offend you.

[deisyriv]

alguien sabe en donde puedo encontrar esta opera de rigoletto con subtitulos en español o ingles

[jewelmarkess]

@deisyriv - I believe any Rigoletto DVD you'd buy on amazon including this one has optional subtitles at least in English; this one claims to have Spanish subtitles as well. If you want any production not just this one or don't want to buy just rent you could also try met player at metopera web site, they have one subtitled performance.

[DonAlfonso63]

Who is playing/singing Giovanna ? Does anybody know it?

[Jeanne90275]

Fedora Barbieri

[DonAlfonso63]

Thank You !!!

[Loemsa]

@DonAlfonso63 This is edita Gruberova

[DonAlfonso63]

I think Edita is Gilda.....

[Loemsa]

@DonAlfonso63 yes its that i've say ^^ it is Edita Gruberova and not Feodora barbieri :)

[DonAlfonso63]

????

[Loismustdie26]

Edita is Gilda, and Fedora is Giovanna.

[walkiria48]

Estoy buscando la traducción al español de esta maravillosa aria. ¿Podría alguien ayudarme?

[Truffaldina92]

ahah bellissima la faccia della vecchietta!!

grandissimo luciano, la migliore voce al mondo!!!!

[SinkingForever]

Quanto pathos! :DDD

[elotello]

tell me which other tenor could sing like this just open his mouth and that beautiful voice would come out

[kriklun]

ive read, that although he sang beautifelly, hu sucked at acting..TELL ME WHAT AN IDIOT WROTE THAT??...I LIKE HIM THE BEST IN ANY WAY....right???

[jenni4claire]

He often said himself he was a terrible actor, though he also said he was always working to improve.

In this scene, however, I think I agree with you: he is brilliant here.

[paulinaanna5]

for me he has best voice and he was amazing actor too

[knights2228]

I think I know when something's good and this is very good indeed.

[josegomes20]

what to say? fantastic, marvelous, terrific!

edita and pavarotti constitute the best deuce in the opera field!

thanks to who posted this video!

[raigekimaru]

finally, an opera where the tenor is the bad guy and the baritone is the good guy.

[jenni4claire]

There is no 'good guy' in Rigoletto.

[elias12186]

@raigekimaru not sure how much of a good guy any guy in this opera is

[PickBit]

@raigekimaru well Rigoletto is not exactly a "good guy", although he is the main character, if you want an opera where the baritone is the positive character try "Simon Boccanegra" (that's by Giuseppe Verdi as well) I can recommend Cappuccilli's interpretations, you can find the one with him, Ghiaurov, Freni and Lucchetti here on YT (I doubt you could find better anywhere)

[zegermans750]

@raigekimaru Rigoletto was hardly a good guy, Gilda was the only innocent character in the entire damn thing

[raigekimaru]

@zegermans750

I guess you're right. although some other operas where the baritone is the protagonist are Pagliacci and Simon Boccanegra

[maya2009mia]

so sad a woman like gilda dies for her love.. how i wish the duke dies also so that this opera tells the audience that' as ever, evil should come to an end....

this opera is great though for its music and plot...

[metalmusi]

why he should die.. i mean that is the dramatic part.. the good dies instead of the "bad"

[maya2009mia]

i would like to agree with greenstboy, but i think he ( or is she a she? hahaha) misses one truth... love and lust know no reason...so gilda is purely a victim of love and lust n this opera...well, its just my opinion....love can really be cunning and deceitful... a force nobody has never mastered not tamed....

[Milordvega]

One thing that few point out: not only is he a womanizer, the Duke is FREAKING married. Remember that in the next Act, the page announces that his wife is looking for him.

What a guy!

[jenni4claire]

I think its pretty well laid out in the opening aria what sort of guy he is, though obviously he is gradually revealed to be worse and worse as the story unfolds.

It must have been particularly shocking in its day that Gilda capitulates so absolutely here,  then he is revealed to be married, and THEN he uses these same lines on a strumpet.

But he is so irresistible here, you can't really blame the girl.

[enormeairone]

Guarda basta che vai in un qualsiasi negozio di musica e compri lo spartito del Rigoletto...:)

[harrydefrys]

tralala

[SeNn4]

I just need to know where but where can I find the lyrics of these scenes? I can understand some of the things they say but please someone tell me where to find the lyrics!!

[Arlientjj]

I guess it's unnecessary for me to tell how tremendous this is, and even that is putting it mildly. Simply wonderfull!

[jenni4claire]

Poor Gilda never stood a chance, did she?

[loveluciano1]

i think you are funny in some way, because the way you write your comments.

[jenni4claire]

You are right, there probably is something funny about me. I forget not everyone reading this has that much English .

My post just meant, 'isn't the Duke very persuasive here?'

[loveluciano1]

i'm glad i right, because sometimes i really enjoy to read your comments, and regarding to gilda, well,with such beautiful and attractive duke like luciano pavarotti, i would persuaded too.

[greenstboy]

jenni4claire. I respectfully disagree. Gilda knowingly, foolishly, willfully chooses to die. And for what? A deceitful, amoral cad! With her own eyes she sees that the Duke is unworthy, yet she wants to die in his stead?  All she had to do is swallow her pride and go home with her father. What woman in her right mind would die for this born womanizer? Sorry, Gilda, no sympathy from me. Ah, but what a great opera!

[jenni4claire]

I always find it hard to argue with anyone who has the diplomacy use a phrase like 'respectfully disagree', but there are two things that I feel compelled to point out. This is not the scene where she dies, but where she falls for him, and two, a person in love is not necessarily in her right mind.

Totally agree with you on sacrificing herself for him later, though. Very unnecessary, as I think I have posted on other Rigoletto videos on youtube, funny enough.

[LeopoldoII]

Absolutely great! Grat peace of music and beatigul voices of Pavarotti & Gruberova... I can listen this piece for hours!!!

[loveluciano1]

bravo, very beautiufl aria from the beginning until the end. and the singers both are amazing, especially luciano pavarotti, he is wonderful, all of him.

[dee1153]

Stop, my beating heart!!!! I love him!!!

[sexyboricua2311]

omgggggggg so wonderfulllll

[mjisabelle18]

If only I understood Italian, this would be apsolutly wonderfull, but without understanding it is still amazing and moving.

[jimchuff]

Wonderful....just wonderful!

[spyderwalk]

Freaking high C#'s. . . I hate tenors that can hit those notes. . it makes me look bad. lol

[spaznorcrest]

TAKING FIRE NEED ASSISTANCE

[AbbysMyAppy]

LMAO *grabs extinguisher* am I the only one that's immune?

[wyastuvaa]

ROGER THAT I'M IN POSITION

[RADAMES1983]

I think that here we can clearly see that Pavarotti is first of all great musician and actor. There are a lot of singers with wonderfull voices, but very few of then are great musicians...

Thank you! BRAVO!!!

[piluvv]

i listen to it every day:DDD so beautyful

[mirdemirhan]

[milorad12345]
