Turandot

Puccini envisioned Turandot as a massive, grandiose procession, and the production at the Ancient Theatre brings this vision to life! The Chinese princess Turandot condemns to death all men who attempt to propose marriage to her, as they fail to answer her riddles. However, Prince Calaf is ready to do anything to win her heart. He performs the captivating aria Nessun dorma, which has enchanted audiences for nearly a century. A powerful performance featuring the Korean soprano Lila Lee, who has performed the role on the stage in Verona, and tenor Kameno Chanev, who triumphed as Calaf in operas in Rome, Berlin, Montreal
