Saturday, August 17, 2024: Puccini: Turandot / Act 3: Nessun dorma! (ft. Luciano Pavarotti)


"I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies that one Italian dude was singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. 

I'd like to think they were he was singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices that voice soared higher and farther than anybody in a gray place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free."
