Yes...it gives me chills no matter how many times I hear it! 💕
If you ever have the chance to visit Italy, make sure your visit Fidenza...Verdi's hometown. There is an outdoor shopping plaza called Fidenza Village and the front of each store honors a Verdi opera! For example one store has an Egyptian facade like Aida!! So uniquely designed and beautiful!
Ah, I was confused. From context, I thought "Nessun Dorma" was by Verdi, but it is by Puccini. No loss; Puccini is wonderful. My favorite from Verdi is "Va Pensiero," the chorus of the Hebrew slaves in "Nabucco." It so moved the public that when Verdi had died and his funeral cortege was making its way along the streets, the throng on the sidelines spontaneously and continuously sang that song in honor of Verdi all the length of its progress. It is truly a cri de coeur.
Translates to "Let no one sleep." Works with the Great Awakening.
My favorite aria! Powerful! 🎼🎶🎵
Looks like we've got a few fellow classicalfags on GAW.

How amazing.
I've studied piano, classical guitar, electric guitar, and violin. I've still spent some time watching opera as well.
If I ever went to Europe; Fidenza, Venice, and Vienna would be top on my list.
I take it you must be a vocalist?
