Nessun Dorma

I know this is my third time posting up this song..but i just can't get this song out of my head.

"Nessun dorma" is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot. The aria, whose title translates from Italian as "No one will sleep", follows the proclamation by the Princess Turandot that no one shall sleep: They shall all spend the night attempting to find out the name of the unknown prince, Calàf, who has set the challenge that if his name cannot be found out, the cold Princess Turandot will marry him. Calàf sings, indicating his certainty that their efforts to discover his name will be in vain.

Anyways..here's a version sung by the 3 tenors.



Lastly, here's the final performance by Pavarotti in Winter Olympics Torino 2006.
