Michael Bolton singing "Nessum Dorma"

In your own words describe what you think "Nessum Dorma" is about.

•  "Nessum Dorma" sounds like a love song. The gradual inflection in the tempo and pitch demonstrate strong emotion and passion. The tempo makes it clear that the subject of the song is someone that the writer cares about deeply - it's obviously not someone that they hated.It almost sounds as if he is trying to romance the subject of the song with the song and his singing.

Who is most known for singing this song? It is his signature work.

Luciano Pavarotti is most known for singing "Nessum Dorma" from Turandot. He was one of "The Three Tenors" in their famed first concert held on the eve of the final. I listened to Pavarotti's performance and it is effortless!
