The cold, proud princess Turandot puts her suitors to the ultimate test. This opulent new production sets the exotic legend like a jewel in a lacquer box. Boasting one of opera’s most popular arias, “Nessun dorma,” Puccini’s Turandot is an absolute powerhouse finale to Minnesota Opera’s 50th anniversary season.
Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage.
