Pavarotti’s talent and artistic belongings are undeniable. Sound piece I would like to focus on the most, is called “Nessun Dorma” from “Turandot” opera composed by Puccini. Composer first began working on the opera in 1920. “The world of Turandot is a place of absolute cruelty and horror, but somehow love still exists within it.” says udiscovermusic. According to one theory, work is response to overturn of World War I. Paradox between cruel reality and beautiful, almost magical vision of love we believe in, is fascinating and states Puccini’s favorite topic as he expressed this subject in all his operas.
Pavarotti’s performance of “Nessun Dorma” is full of emotions. Every time I listen to this piece, I feel like it wasn’t meant for listener’s ears but for the only person in the world he truly loves, what makes the perception of this aria honest and even more beautiful. You can understand my shock when I read lyrics and I found out that “Nessun Dorma” instead of talking about this true love, presents story of blind lover who forces his chosen one to marry him. Pavarotti’s emotions in performing this piece completely mislead me which ,except disappointment in my adjudication, is really fascinating process in psychological meaning.
