Nessun dorma | cogmodo
“Nessun dorma”, a famous aria from Puccini’s opera “Turandot”, gained global popularity after Pavarotti’s 1990 performance for the FIFA Word Cup. The aria, sung by Prince Calaf, expresses his confidence in winning Princess Turandot’s hand in marriage despite her cruel riddles. Ultimately, Calaf’s act of generosity offers Turandot a second choice to abandon her life as a cruel and lonesome princess and instead become part of a happy married couple.
