Tu pure, o Principessa,
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle che tremano
D'amore e di speranza!
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
Il nome mio nessun saprà
Quando la luce splenderà!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincerò!
Vincerò! Vincerò!
Vincerò!
The song "Nessun Dorma" is an aria from Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot, which was composed in the early 20th century. It is an emotionally charged song which is sung by the character Calaf, who is in search of the Princess Turandot's love. The words "Nessun dorma" mean "None shall sleep," and it is sung as a sort of challenge to the Princess Turandot, who has ordered that no one shall rest until they discover the identity of Calaf.
The first paragraph of the song is Calaf speaking directly to the Princess, telling her that she too is awake in her cold room, gazing at the stars of love and hope. The second paragraph is Calaf's declaration that his true identity will remain a mystery to all, but he will reveal it to the Princess when the light shines. He then says that his kiss will break the silence that has been keeping them apart. The words "Dilegua, o notte" mean "Vanish, oh night," and "Tramontate, stelle" means "Fade, you stars," which is Calaf's way of saying that with the coming of the morning, he will emerge victorious and win the heart of the Princess.
In summary, the song "Nessun Dorma" is an emotionally charged aria about the search for love and the determination to overcome all obstacles to achieve it. It is a beautiful expression of hope and passion and is a true masterpiece of operatic music.

Tu pure, o Principessa,
You too, oh Princess,
Nella tua fredda stanza
In your cold room
Guardi le stelle che tremano
You watch the stars tremble
D'amore e di speranza!
With love and hope!
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me,
But my mystery is closed within me,
Il nome mio nessun saprà
No one will know my name
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò,
No, no, I will tell it to you on your mouth,
Quando la luce splenderà!
When the light will shine!
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà
And my kiss will dissolve
Il silenzio che ti fa mia!
The silence that makes you mine!
Dilegua, o notte!
Vanish, oh night!
Tramontate, stelle!
Fade away, stars!
Tramontate, stelle!
Fade away, stars!

Sadly, every time a new tenor comes along with a decent voice, he is always marketed as the next Mario Lanza. Mr. Vincent has a nice voice, especially when he’s not trying to duplicate Lanza’s phenomenal high range.
His high notes with this aria sound quite strained, and I personally don’t think the choice to sing the middle part in English was well advised.
I found his recording of “Be My Love” quite disappointing as you can hear him change his voice to “opera mode” every time he comes to a big section of the song. Eliminating the high note at the end didn’t help either.
On a more positive note, his baritone register is quite nice and always much more consistent than his high range.
His “Unchained Melody” duet with Doug Parkinson was phenomenal.

I saw his first audition. He has defined and perfected everything....notes, range...tone...soul...of that song. In more than one iteration.
