Pavarotti NESSUN DORMA | Opera Singer Reacts!

DISCLAIMER: I know I very strongly advocate for an ending 't' in Turandot, but I actually don't care that much. In the original play it was pronounced with a T but Puccini didn't want it pronounced like that so his Turandot was pronounced without. James Harbeck describes the even larger, full history here:    • Pronunciation tip: Turandot  

NESSUN DORMA from Puccini’s last opera, Turandot, sung by Luciano Pavarotti.

Noone shall sleep! Noone shall sleep!
Not even you, oh Princess,
in your cold bedroom,
watching the stars
that tremble with love, and with hope!

But my secret is hidden within me;
no one will know my name!
No, no! On your mouth,
I will say it when the light shines!

And my kiss will dissolve
the silence that makes you mine!
No one will know his name,
and we will have to, alas, die, die!
Vanish, o night!
Fade, you stars!
Fade, you stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win! I will win!
