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?
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 in the theatre.
This is romantic opera at its intoxicating best.
