Considered Puccini’s masterpiece, Turandot remains as popular today as at its premiere in 1926. Set in China in “legendary times,” it tells the story of Prince Calaf'’s courtship of the icy princess Turandot, whose suitors must successfully answer three riddles or face certain death. The prince succeeds and then poses his own riddle to Turandot: she must discover his name. The opera is full of fiery, exotic music and soaring melodies, including the sublime tenor aria “Nessun dorma.” At 2 pm in the hall, opera expert Michael Sims will discuss the history and development of Puccini’s opera.
