The most powerful music element we have ever had in the planet earth—OPERA! The word itself is so powerful as it has drawn and captured the hearts of millions all across the globe. I have came to know about Opera when i was 17 years old,form five. In the beginning of my journey in music i was totally expose to pop rock and band music since i have a band of my own a few years ago. Before tat i was totally focus on music and the way it goes. But as time pass by, i begin to focus more on vocal when i listen to music. So i started to listen to all those great artist with great voice like Celine Dion, Maria Carey, Whitney Houston…. Although all of them have great voice but they still could not satisfied my thirst for magnificent, powerful, wonderful, authentic and superb voice! So i begin to search more thoroughly for that and i know that Opera music may be the one that I’m looking for. Before this i really know nothing about Opera but i still heard of a name called—Pavarotti. At that time i only know his name and i don’t know how he looks like. So in the very beginning i mess him up with Andrea Boccelli , When i first saw Andrea i thought he is the legendary Pavarotti because Andrea appear more frequent on our local television, so BLUR am i! I started to search for Luciano Pavarotti in Lime Wire…and when the result shows, i saw this song name call Nessun Dorma. Nessun Dorma was the very first song that i listen to him sang. It totally blew me off to the very top and i feel like I’m in a state of ecstasy, I’m just intoxicated by this heavenly-like voice after listened to him sang, especially at the end when he sang "Vincero! Vincero!" which mean "I shall win!" or "I shall conquer!" as this is the highest pitch he delivered in this aria. There is no other singer that can sing like that and blew me off like this except my favorite idol, the very great maestro–Luciano Pavarotti! He is the only one in this planet that could actually satisfied my thirst for superb voice. Bravo Luciano Pavarotti!! Long live Pavarotti!
NESSUN DORMA
(Turandot)(No one’s sleeping!)
Nessun Dorma! Nessun Dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa,
nella tua freda stanza
guardi le stelle che tremano d’amore
e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero e chiusoin me,
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo diro
quando la luce splendera!
Ed il mio bacio sciogliera il silenzio
che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle! All’alba vincero!
Vincero! Vincero!

riddles-his name.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
No one’s sleeping! No one’s sleeping!
This evening, icy princess
perhaps in your cold chambers,
watch all the bright stars
that tremble both with loving
and with desire
I keep my secret locked inside.
No one shall ever know my name!
No, no! When our two mouths
touch, she’ll learn it,
when the morning light shines forth!
And then my kisses will dissolve
her silence and she will be mine!
May this night end! May all the stars set!
And may all the stars set!
When dawn breaks, I shall win!
