Approved

In ancient Beijing, Princess Turandot decrees that she will marry the prince who can solve three riddles. Those who fail are put to death. Prince Calaf, dazzled by her beauty, determines to win her despite the pleas of the servant girl Liu who is secretly in love with him.

Puccini’s final opera includes music of overwhelming power, including Calaf’s celebrated ‘Nessun Dorma’. Following in the wake of its world-beating Ring cycle, Turandot is the latest in Opera North’s acclaimed series of concert stagings of epic operas.
