There is a famous program named “Britains Got Talent”. The program will invite some special people and let them show their special skills. As is usual with normal programs, there are some judges who give some comments and determine whether the performers will reach the next stage of the contest or not. This year, an unbelievable performer appeared.

The performer was a man, and he looked a little shy. Before he started to perform his act, one of the judges asked him what he was going to perform. And he answered shortly “To sing opera”. The judges didn’t like his response. But after he sang the first sentence, everybody on the program changed his/her face. The singing was so amazing that no one had expected it to be so good.. The performer sang the song “Nessun Dorma” from the famous opera Turandot. Although I haven’t seen the opera before, the song is so famous that I have heard it several times. As a result of his glorious voice, a member of the audience seemed to burst into tears. My eyes felt a little wet, too. After the show finished, both the audience and the judges clapped and shouted loudly.. Finally, he was declared the champion without any doubt.

A while after hearing this song, I felt a deeply touched and inspired.. The magic of opera is really incredible. I think its attraction is very different to that of other kinds of songs. Opera is so great and graceful that I can’t believe people have such wonderful voices. This song ignited my passion for music again, and I have decided to improve my ability in that area by practicing the piano again.

By the way, due to my limited self-control, I slept later than usual tonight. This made me sleepless again, just like the princess in Turandot. The only difference is that she had an important and romantic reason to be sleepless, however, my reason was very stupid. Good night, hope I can get up early and go to bed early tomorrow..
