Puccini's Turandot

Puccini's final opera live from the Metropolitan Opera in New York, starring Anna Pirozzi as the vengeful princess Turandot and Brian Jagde as Prince Calaf.

The beautiful Princess Turandot will only marry a man who can answer her three riddles - those who fail will be killed the following dawn. But Prince Calaf is not to be dissuaded from having a go, having fallen in love with her at first sight. With a rich soundworld including authentic Chinese melodies, Puccini's final masterpiece is sung by a top cast conducted by Oksana Lyniv.

Presented live from the Met by Debra Lew Harder and Ira Siff.
