Performed by Jose Carreras "Nessun dorma" (Italian: [nesˈsun ˈdɔrma]; English: "None shall sleep") is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's frequently performed opera Turandot and is one of the best-known tenor arias in all opera. It is sung by Calaf, il principe ignoto (the unknown prince), who falls in love at first sight with the beautiful but cold Princess Turandot. However, any man who wishes to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles; if he fails, he will be beheaded. In the aria, Calaf expresses his triumphant assurance that he will win the princess. Although "Nessun dorma" has long been a staple of operatic recitals, Luciano Pavarotti popularized the piece beyond the opera world in the 1990s following his performance of it for the 1990 World Cup. Both Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo released singles of the aria that charted in the United Kingdom, and it appeared on the best selling classical album of all time, The Three Tenors in Concert. Since that time, many crossover artists have performed and recorded it. The aria has been sung often in movies and on television. Unusually for a classical piece, it has become a part of popular culture.

None shall sleep! Even you, O Princess, in your cold bedroom, watch the stars that tremble with love and with hope But my secret is hidden within me; none 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 Just before the climactic end of the aria, a chorus of women is heard singing in the distance No one will know his name... and we will have to, alas, die, die Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win

Marco Berti (Prince Calaf) sings 'Nessun Dorma' from Puccini's Turandot. One of the most famous of all arias, 'Nessun Dorma' reached number 2 in the British charts in 1990, and was performed at the Fifa World Cup.

In the final months of his life Puccini struggled to depict Calaf's triumph: he died before finishing the final act. Turandot was completed by Franco Alfano two years later and given its premiere in 1926 at La Scala, Milan. During this initial performance the conductor Arturo Toscanini famously laid down his baton in Act III, declaring 'at this point, the Maestro died'. Turandot has gone on to have great worldwide success. Puccini creates a rich soundworld for this dark and erotic fairytale. The opera contains many memorable arias, from 'Signore, ascolta', as Liù appeals to Calaf not to attempt Turandot's deadly riddles, to Turandot's defiant 'In questa reggia', as well as 'Nessun dorma', sung as Calaf anticipates winning the Princess's hand. Andrei Serban's staging -- one of the most spectacular in The Royal Opera's repertory -- transports an audience to a beautiful but savage world.
