Here he sings 'Ella mi fu rapita, Parmi veder le lagrime' in a live performance of Verdi's Rigoletto. This performance took place on 19 November 1966 at the 'Teatro dell'Opera' in Rome.

Are you all freakin' kidding? Um, hello... Paris, 1998; Nessun Dorma - if you don't find that to be a sword coated with honey, there's no hope for ya.

[GermanOperaSinger]

Sorry, but that nessun dorma was nothing compared to what he was in the 60s.

[Pavarotti4eva]

the music is perfect! it is crystal clear, and i love the violin part in the beggining!

pavarotti is the king as always, thanks for posting this!!!

Fortunate to live in Modena as a child, first knew him as just a very friendly barber.

[Mikep487]

Very undistinguished effort. General lack of power and timbre. Great breath control, as always, but that doesn't compensate for the identified weaknesses.

[fra1979it]

non il migliore (per il meglio si veda il duo schipa-kraus) ma certamente uno dei migliori nel ruolo

[gwachberg]

as great as pavarotti is - can't help to think that something happened to the strings. probably in post production, they are remarkably too low.

[rolwitit]

this is honestly one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard

[rolwitit]

this is just so beautiful

[donerlich]

Whoa, did I just read Jose Cura's name in the same sentece as Pavarotti's?

[starwars1marc]

la voix est belle mais l'air est un peut ennuyeux

@GermanOperaSinger and @MaikHaeber: I agree....the only tenor in these days that I find thrilling is Joseph Calleja...I think he is the best right now....reminds me of Bjorling...!

[MaikHaeber]

@itonlyhappens No, you expert. His voice declined because Pavarotti, having been a lyrical tenor, chose to go into the dramatic repertoire which his voice wasn't meant for. The reason: you can earn more money and fame with Manrico than with Nemorino. Same mistake like many before him and after him (see Roberto Alagna). And for lack of competition, a foolish audience bought it all and continued cheering until his death. In the second half of his career, Pavarotti sold his name, not his voice.
