There are over a hundred versions, take your pick

Even this version by a 10-year old girl on AGT puts a lump in the ol' throat...

Pavarotti's is not my favorite version of Nessun dorma, but the aria itself slays me every time.

Interestingly enough, it's not that final high note that does it; it's the run-up to the high note; that moment when you understand that the tenor has committed to it; he going to go for it. He's not going to modulate or pace or anything; he's going to give it his all. It's that moment when I come apart, and the high note afterward is just a bonus.

not just because he's a favorite, but because for him, 'vincero' isn't a four syllable word.

He was the best.

did not make her entrance (the snarky among us think this is because she was jealous because he got an encore and she didn't) so instead of her singing, he sang her vocal line but substituted the words, "Ah! Non abbiam' soprano!" (Ah! We don't have a soprano) and everything stopped.

Perhaps the most moving moment in all of opera.

It's not just the performance; it's that the music itself was pretty avant-garde for the time. Henry Purcell was an amazing talent.

From the absolutely terrific 1995 movie.

Fun coincidence.

I just couldn't believe that this one hadn't been mentioned.

Also called Musetta's Waltz. Just a great aria for a soprano.

Depending on the translation: It starts out:

When walking along the streets,
People stop and stare
And admire my beauty
From head to toe

Or sì!
