Al-aLondon-Foxile Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Thought he'd might do When You're Smiling. If he did he'd sing it too fast!
Rincewind Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Ranieri arranged it. He is on a tour anyway and it will also be publicity for him. Not sure though how many regular attending opera fans are also regular attending football fans. A bit strange going from suit, frilled shirt and dicky bow to Wranglers baseball/bovver boots football shirt and scarf and wooly hat.
Guest MattP Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Ranieri arranged it. He is on a tour anyway and it will also be publicity for him.

I think every English football fan in the country had shed tears to Nessun Dorma at some point, it will be amazing.
MPH Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 "The opera icon, who went blind at the age of 12 after being hit in the head by a football" You'd think he might want to stay clear of football grounds. Mind you, given our miracle season, the Schluppmeister will probably blast a wayward shot against the other side of his head and restore his sight! Would've preferred Andrea Pirlo myself.... Nope. Kante will intercept it.
foxoffderby Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Nessum Dorma by Puccini Translation Italian to English http://classicalmusic.about.com/od/opera/p/nessundorma.htm
Robin JD Popley Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 He's my favourite Opera Singer. Singing at the KP on the greatest day of our club's history. Roll on Saturday - it's going to be amazing!
southfox66 Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 That's amazing just need Queen to perform we are champions after the game or wasn't I meant to let the cat of the bag
Vindaloo FOX Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 saw him at the roundhouse in london a few years back, whoever has a ticket for the game are in for a treat .
foxoffderby Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Don't want to sound condescending to some who may never of heard of him but he is a true great and a living legend. We are so lucky. Nessum Dorma is a classic. I might even shed a tear Saturday.

SpinneyHillRanger Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 This. Opera isn't usually my cup of tea but this gets me every time. Can't imagine what it'll be like on Saturday! it's like italia 90 and all that... just need a montage of the team best bits (in slo-mo) from the whole season on big screen
AndWhat? Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 It's going to make an emotional day even more emotional. Having a listen to him on Youtube now and I seriously can't wait for it!
Jimbo Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Nessum Dorma memories of Italia 90 what a day its going to be 1990 was when I fell in love with football. Mostly because of world cup Italia '90. My life long love affair with Leicester City naturally followed on, I'd been to game before that but never really got into it. Nessum Dorma is the anthem, the theme song, to my love of football. And now I'll get to see it sung live, by one of the worlds greatest opera stars, at the home of my team after we've just become champions on England. This is just beyond epic for me, absolutely fantastic. It will have me crying, I have no doubt about that
AlphaMaleFox Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma! (...) Dilegua, o notte! Tramontate, stelle! Tramontate, stelle! All'alba vincerò! vincerò! vincerò! Nobody shall sleep! Nobody shall sleep! (...) Vanish, oh night! Set, stars! Set, stars! At dawn, I will win! I will win! I will win! So fitting.
promised land Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 It's going to make an emotional day even more emotional. Having a listen to him on Youtube now and I seriously can't wait for it! Some fans won't appreciate what this is, one of the best in the world singing for us. Amazing.
MrSpaM Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Nessun Dorma and Time To Say Goodbye are going to be the songs, before kick off
yorkie1999 Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 This. Opera isn't usually my cup of tea but this gets me every time. Can't imagine what it'll be like on Saturday! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4ZfMxE_8Og Except it wont sound quite like that, more of a distorted squeek due to the amazing pa system we have.
yorkie1999 Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 Some fans won't appreciate what this is, one of the best in the world singing for us. Amazing.Second only to paul potts.
EastAnglianFox Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 You lucky lucky people on Saturday who have tickets have yet another reason to feel like you have won the lottery...Remember every second of it and try and take the whole day in!! This really is stuff dreams are made of.
MC Prussian Posted 5 May 2016 Posted 5 May 2016 "Time to say goodbye"... "Andrea, over here. We're just getting started."
