Looks like the classic opera piece "Nessun Dorme" will be played tonight at the RNC - the night of Trump's speech. Nessun Dorme translates as "none shall sleep."
THE SUM OF ALL FEARS
The piece was being rehearsed in the convention center a short time ago. Martha McCallum on FoxNews mentioned the title.
For anyone not familiar with the aria, here are the lyrics. Draw your own conclusions:
None shall sleep,
None shall sleep!
Even you, oh Princess,
In your cold room,
Watch the stars,
That tremble with love
And with hope.
But my secret is hidden within me,
My name no one shall know,
No... no...
On your mouth, I will tell it,
When the light shines.
And my kiss will dissolve
the silence that makes you mine!
(No one will know his name
and we must, alas, die.)
Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!
It is also the song that plays at the end of The Sum of All Fears when all the Deep State actors are executed for their plot to start World War III!

Holy shizballs - I did not know that! And thank you for the flair.
If these creeps thought he was angry and determined before - stay tuned.
Gotta watch that film Anon! It is mandatory homework viewing. In fact, all the the Tom Clancy films are relevant.

HOLY ShizBalls is right...I just droppped LOAD when I read that...NWO BUT "NAZI WORLD ORDER"!!!!!
Dirtbags!!!
Ha! This is great. I can't wait to watch for any more habbenings. (I will not date fag. I will not date fag. I will not date fag.)
By chanting that phrase 3 times... you have actually summoned The Date Fag
u/#datefag
Kek!
OMG! I didn't realize The Date Fag was scarier than Freddy Kruger, but YES!!! lol
In light of recent events, datefagging is back on the menu.
I have already ordered popcorn for tonight. And salted butter. Gotta have real butter and salt.
Every day is a date fag fren.
It's living on the edge of your seat, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It's just internalized now, looking for signs everywhere and when one is noticed quietly preparing oneself that this might be the day.
"You're gonna love how this movie ends"
Supplemental video, Luciano Pavarotti sings "Nessun dorma" from Turandot (The Three Tenors in Concert 1994)
For those in a hurry at least jump up to 2:10 for the final crescendo.

Insane catch!
None shall sleep as in.. a great awakening?
Definitely... and also in the sense of, "don't close your eyes, you bastards."
Or maybe Q post 2051.
Those who know cannot sleep.

Thank you. I can't help but notice Melania has been absent this whole week so far. Wonder if she'll make an appearance tonight as part of the Trump family.
Btw, pretty sure those are central time zone.
I thought I saw Hulk Hogan was going to speak.
Edit: commented before scrolling farther and seeing full list.
9 - 10:30PM
"Nessun Dorma", FYI
Yes, I caught that too late for the title. Thank you. Will fix everywhere else.
Also the last line of the song (the key moment at the end of Sum of All Fears), "vincerò! vincerò, vincerò!" means: "I will win! I will win! I will win!"
That song ALWAYS gives me goosebumps.
Even when I read the English lyrics I get 'em. Truth.
Also, what a nice surprise for us clandestine Opera-buffs (And yes, it is weird in regular society - I was even accused of listening to Imperialist music by an activist - but WYpepo have no culture, I am sure. I was blasting it in the supermarket carpark, because the stereo in the car is chef's kiss. So i guess I offended the hairdye merchant).
Thank You Mr President.
And the Italians are so the best at lyrical Opera. So to celebrate, here is Pavarotti - in arguably his swan-song masterpiece - Nessun Dorma. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWc7vYjgnTs - Just so we can prime ourselves on the song.
Regarding the NAzi take: Arguably Puccini was part of the old order before the Fascists took over in that part of the world, he lived a life of hunting from his formidable country-lodge and fast cars - which would have painted a target on his back by the Fascists, who loved money. So I spose we can talk about his car-accident in which he nearly died, and it contributed to his early demise? He was raised by Catholic nuns and polished in a Conservatory. So what you hear is Catholic opera that is exploring the excesses of dark humanity.
So, I guess we can argue the difference between Hitler and Mussolini, but I like to point out that this music pre-dates all that nonsense. And on that score (heh), Wagner has been tarred with that brush too. Just because Hitler liked to listen to it. But that Germanic opera genre also pre-dates Nazis.
And it's from the opera Turandot, composed by Giacomo Puccini.
When it played in context of the whole speech I didn't take it as "the great awakening" but it literally being our last chance, last fight to save America.
It's a lot prettier in Italian. And in the context of the song, it's that no MAN will sleep, with the subject of the song being this "princess".
I dunno. It's weird. Like a poem brought to song, and may have a lot of meaning or just words strung together because they're pretty.
Covfefe ❤️
looks like it checked ✅ out ✅
Such powerful music, very fitting. ❤️
Never noticed before but it has a STRIKING similarity to a couple songs from Phantom of the Opera. What's another word for Phantom? Ghost?
Found an article since I'm not the only one to think this. https://oneofsevenbillion.wordpress.com/2012/10/26/nessun-dorma-vs-phantom-of-the-opera/
Yes, in the original novel by Gaston Leroux, the "phantom" was actually referred to as the "O.G." which stood for "Opera Ghost."
Interesting comparison!
I love that song. That ending was fucking amazing with that song playing
Where is sauce for this plz
Here is one: https://www.nbcchicago.com/2024-rnc-republican-national-convention-milwaukee/who-is-speaking-at-the-rnc-tonight-full-speaker-list-and-schedule/3493894/
I was watching FoxNews this morning during Martha McCallum's show. The singer, Christopher Maccio, could be heard rehearsing and Martha said that was "Nessun Dorma" that he was singing.
They ran out of operas called the great awakening
