Dilegua, o notte! You have likely heard the lyrics, even if you don't initially recognize them or understand their meaning. In a place looking for a glimmer of hope, the words belt out across Barcelona. The rich vibrato of a classic tenor echoes throughout an apartment-laden neighborhood in the Catalonia region of Spain. The climactic finale of the aria "Nessun Dorma" from the final act of Puccini's Turandot is a message of the hope that comes with a new day. The song features in dozens of movies and television shows throughout the past several decades and is among the most recognizable pieces of opera in history.
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba, vincerò!
Vincerò! Vincerò!
