Abstract

Nobody sleeps - Nessun dorma. Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot fills full houses at Malmö Opera in the spring of 2024. In the closing act, the tenor Kalaf (in Malmö played by Daniel Johansson) sings an aria where we all get goosebumps. But how is it that the most beautiful of all opera arias is about insomnia?
