Giacomo Puccinis letzte Oper Turandot nach Carlo Gozzi spielt in einem märchenhaft-düsteren China. Dort herrscht eine repressive Gesellschaftsordnung, die sich in dem blutigen Rache-Ritus der Prinzessin Turandot kristallisiert: Turandot lockt mit ihrer kalten Schönheit scharenweise Freier an und liefert sie dann mittels unlösbarer Rätsel dem Henker aus. Bis eines Tages der entthronte Tatarenkönig Timur, sein Sohn, Prinz Calaf, und die Sklavin Liù erscheinen: Unerschrocken stellt sich Calaf den drei Rätseln der grausamen Prinzessin, löst sie und wird am Ende mit ihrer Liebe belohnt.

Puccinis unvollendet gebliebene Partitur besticht durch raffinierte Exotik und eine gekonnte Mischung aus Tragik und skurrilem Witz. Sie spannt den Bogen von pompösen Massenszenen über leidenschaftliches Pathos zwischen Turandot und Calaf bis zu den auf die Commedia dell’arte zurückgehenden Figuren Ping, Pang und Pong. Martina Serafin, eine der grossen Turandots von heute, kehrt ans Opernhaus Zürich zurück. Sie hat die grausame Prinzessin zuletzt mit grossem Erfolg beim Puccini-Festival in Torre del Lago und zuvor in der Arena di Verona gesungen. Guanqun Yu, die Mimì in unserer Bohème, singt die aufopferungsvolle Liù, Aleksanders Antonenko, zuletzt in Zürich zu erleben als Radames in Aida und Hermann in Pique Dame, singt Calaf. Giampaolo Bisanti übernimmt die musikalische Leitung.

Deutsch

Giacomo Puccini's last opera Turandot , based on Carlo Gozzi, is set in a dark, fairytale-like China. A repressive social order prevails there, which crystallizes in the bloody revenge rite of Princess Turandot: Turandot attracts crowds of suitors with her cold beauty and then delivers them to the executioner by means of unsolvable riddles. Until one day the dethroned Tatar king Timur, his son, Prince Calaf, and the slave Liù appear: Undaunted, Calaf faces the three riddles of the cruel princess, solves them and is rewarded with her love in the end.

Puccini's unfinished score impresses with its refined exoticism and a skilful mixture of tragedy and bizarre wit. It spans the arc from pompous mass scenes to passionate pathos between Turandot and Calaf to the characters Ping, Pang and Pong, which go back to the Commedia dell'arte. Martina Serafin, one of today's great Turandots, returns to the Zurich Opera House. She recently sang the cruel princess with great success at the Puccini Festival in Torre del Lago and before that in the Arena di Verona. Guanqun Yu, the Mimì in our Bohème , sings the self-sacrificing Liù, Aleksanders Antonenko, last seen in Zurich as Radames in Aida and Hermann in Pique Dame,sings Calaf. Giampaolo Bisanti takes over the musical direction.
