Based on a Persian fairy tale, Puccini’s grandest opera explores the heart of a woman imprisoned by the past. In this fairy tale set in ancient China, young men are literally dying to marry a princess. Time and again, Turandot poses three riddles to her suitors, sentencing them to death if they fail. When the Prince of Tartary sees the icy beauty, he, too, falls under her spell – a spell that only love can break. Will love and death continue to walk hand in hand? Or will passion free her frozen heart? This glorious operatic spectacle features the signature tenor aria "Nessun dorma."  Join us for a thrilling night of Opera!
