Nessun dorma has been an old friend of mine! I cannot say how many times I've sung this aria in my career so far but it always gets an emotional reaction. So, I thought it was a good piece to use for my re-working, given the current Corona virus pandemic we all now face as a human race. The new Italian libretto was written with the help of Google Translate (!) and then sense checked by the wonderful Matteo Dalle Fratte so thanks to him! (Apologies to Puccini, Adami & Simoni for doing this to your treasured aria but I'm sure you'd understand, that it is done with love and support for an amazing bunch of people). I hope you all enjoy it. 

If it made you smile, please do share it on your social media platforms but also consider donating to this very worthy cause;

Cavell Trust - this charity helps nursing professionals through times of crises. It has recently stated that they are allocating extra funds towards NHS staff effected by the Corona virus pandemic and to support those brave, kind and amazing people we, at some point in our lives, will rely on. Our NHS is this country's greatest treasure and ALL the staff that work in it deserve our support and respect. This will be a small help to some - even if we manage to pay for the childcare of one nurse for a week, that is something! I wanted to do what little I can for those who give the most!

This page is also linked to my Team page, where you can support my other charity of choice - The Trussell Trust, giving much needed emergency support to those in society, who need it the most! 

Hopefully, this performance might give people a smile and perhaps some hope! The human spirit is an amazing thing. If we're kind to each other and support society as a whole, I'm sure we will get through this!
