(Curator: Sometimes as I watch the Sun go down behind the mountains and the Squirrels and Birds rush about to end their day at the feeders...I MUST HAVE AN ARIA...one thing this Pandemic has taught me is to be passionate about life in all it's Beauty..I'm sure whoever reads this feels the same way too..<3 'NESSUN DORMA" None shall sleep, None shall sleep! Even you, oh Princess, In your cold room, Watch the stars, That tremble with love And with hope. But my secret is hidden within me, My name no one shall know, No... no... On your mouth, I will tell it, When the light shines. And my kiss will dissolve the silence that makes you mine! (No one will know his name and we must, alas, die.) Vanish, o night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! (FROM THE OPERA-'TURANDOT) Pavarotti Performs.
