2. Google is your Friend
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nessun_Dorma

"Nessun Dorma" is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot. The aria, whose title translates from Italian as "No one will sleep", follows the proclamation by the Princess Turandot that no one shall sleep: They shall all spend the night attempting to find out the name of the unknown prince, Calàf, who has set the challenge that if his name cannot be found out, the cold Princess Turandot will marry him. Calàf sings, indicating his certainty that their efforts to discover his name will be in vain.

Its a dual reference: 1)Obviously, to the OBL video. 2) To the death of Pavarati
