The voices of the distinguished singers will unfold in the score of Turandot, which occupies a central place in Puccini's work and is known for its large-scale orchestral palette and strong dramatic conflict. Turandot is the last opera of the delightful Puccini. The lyrical drama in 3 acts is based on Carlo Gozzi's play of the same name. The opera, at the behest of Puccini himself, was completed after his death by his student Franco Alfano. The emblematic "Nessun dorma", performed by Calaf, is one of the most colorful and affecting arias in the history of opera.
