Whether it’s the steadfast determination of Nessun Dorma or the poignancy of O Mio Babbino Caro, these moments are the essence of the journey, leaving audiences deeply moved.

And here then comes the encore, the audience’s way of expressing appreciation to the singers who’ve shared this story. The ovation isn’t just for technical skill but for the raw emotion and emotional honesty that opera brings to the stage. It’s more than a performance; it’s a communal emotional release, a reminder of what it means to be human.
