Prince Calaf: None must sleep! None must sleep! And you, too, Princess, in your cold room, gaze at the stars which tremble with love and hope!
But my mystery is locked within me, no-one knows my name! No, no, you shall know it as my mouth meets yours when the dawn is breaking!
And my kiss will break the silence and make you mine!
Turandot's Ladies: (No-one shall know his name, and we, alas, shall die!)
Prince Calaf: Vanish, o night! Fade, stars! At dawn I shall win! I shall win! I shall win!
(The situation is that Princess Turnadot has ordered the entire city not to sleep but instead to search out the unknown Prince (Calaf) who set her the challenge of finding out his name. Kind of like Rumplestiltskin in a vague sort of way.)
I thought two of the judges looked completely blown away and won over. The third I thought had a cross of "WTF?" and "I cannot BELIEVE this!" on his face that was truly funny to witness. Thanks for sharing!

None must sleep! None must sleep!
And you, too, Princess,
in your cold room,
gaze at the stars
which tremble with love
and hope!
But my mystery is locked within me,
no-one knows my name!
No, no, you shall know it as my mouth
meets yours when the dawn is breaking!
And my kiss will break the silence
and make you mine!
Turandot's Ladies:

and we, alas, shall die!)
Prince Calaf:
Vanish, o night!
Fade, stars!
At dawn I shall win!
I shall win!
I shall win!
