This song, nessun dorma by Puccini, is in the beginning of act 3 of the legendary opera Turandot. The opera turns 100 in 2 days, so let's dive into history. Turandot was made by Giacomo Puccini in 1924. He died when he was unable to finish the opera. Then, the last part for the opera was written by Franco Alfano, and the opera premiered on April 25th, 1926. The historic opera has been premiered by different productions around the world, except for china, because it was banned for some thing I don't think is comfortable to know
This one here was recorded in 2015 by conductor sir Antonio Pappano and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. Act 3 tells the stoy of when Calaf won 3 riddles, he sings the legendary nessun dorma for Turandot who refused to be in his arms. This is sung by Jonas Kaufmann.
