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!
