Composed by Giacomo Puccini
*The March 21 performance will be audio described.
Three riddles, one fearless suitor, and a princess with a heart of ice.
In a kingdom ruled by fear, Princess Turandot has vowed never to marry. Anyone who seeks her hand must answer her three impossible riddles and those who fail lose far more than love. When a mysterious prince named Calaf arrives, he accepts the challenge and shocks the kingdom by succeeding. But the real test has only just begun. Determined to break through Turandot’s cold exterior, Calaf sparks a battle of wills that could end in passion…or destruction. Blending high-stakes drama, breathtaking spectacle, and one of opera’s most famous scores, Turandot is an unforgettable legend of danger, desire, and transformation.
This performance will be sung in Italian with English captions.
This opera contains adult themes and is recommended for ages 13 and older.
Tickets: $115, $75, $45; half-price for youth through Grade 12
