Set in ancient Beijing, the emperor is seeking a fearless prince to take Princess Turandot’s hand in marriage with only one condition: the suitor must solve three riddles posed by the princess; any wrong answers would lead to execution. Prince Calàf is mesmerized by the unforgettable beauty of Turandot and is determined to risk his life to win her heart. Puccini’s final and unfinished opera – Turandot, captivates worldwide audiences with the infusion of beautiful Chinese cultural elements. The characters reflect elements of Puccini’s life experience. From the enchanting music to intricate costumes, this production would surely dazzle all the audiences.
