Carlo Rizzi Deconstructs 'Nessun dorma'

Conductor Carlo Rizzi takes us through “Nessun dorma” (“None shall sleep”), Turandot’s musical calling card. Popularized by Luciano Pavarotti at the 1990 FIFA World Cup, it’s the tune that films, commercials, and reality shows reach for when things get larger than life. In a dramatic high-point of the opera, Princess Turandot forbids the citizens of her city from sleeping until they discover Calaf’s name. With his life now hanging in the balance, Calaf delivers a show-stopping piece full of bravado, reaching a triumphant crescendo with his cry, “Vincerò!” (“I will win!”).
