Opera Explained: Turandot

Opera Explained: Turandot

This installment of the Opera Explained series tackles Turandot, one of Puccini's grandest and most sweeping operas. The opera was nearly completed when Puccini died, and his student Franco Alfano used the composer's sketches to finish the work. Set in Imperial China, Princess Turandot pronounces that she will marry the first man who can answer three riddles. The penalty for answering incorrectly is death. The score has many memorable elements, but the most famous aria is Nessun Dorma. David Timson is the narrator for this outstanding program.
