Puccini’s final opera Turandot returns in a performance broadcast live from the Main Stage. Drawing on Chinese and Italian theatrical tradition to evoke a richly imagined, mythical Peking, Andrei Şerban’s dazzling production is one of the most spectacular in The Royal Opera’s repertory. Rafael Payare conducts, Sondra Radvanovsky sings the title role.
The beautiful but icy Princess Turandot will only marry a man who can correctly answer three riddles.
Those who fail are brutally beheaded. But when an unknown prince arrives, the balance of power in Turandot’s court is forever shaken, as the mysterious stranger does what no other has been able to.The Royal Opera: Puccini’s Turandot showing at: April 1, 7:15 pm
