Turandot
The mythical Princess Turandot rules her people with an iron fist and a heart of ice. Can Prince Calaf melt her heart, when so many have failed? And what price will he pay?
Puccini's masterpiece is back with a starry international cast for this classic production.
Director Graeme Murphy and designer Kristian Fredrikson's bold choreography and larger-than-life sets and costumes balance Puccini's gorgeous swathes of orchestral and choral colour to produce a spectacular night at the theatre.
Hear American soprano Susan Foster sing Turandot's spine-tingling 'In questa reggia', Italian soprano Daria Masiero sing the heart-rending 'Signore, ascolta!' and Australia's own Rosario La Spina sing that great opera anthem, 'Nessun dorma'.
This is grand opera at its intoxicating best.
Performed in Italian with English Surtitles.
Running time: Three hours including two twenty-minute intervals.
