Turandot - Opera at the Sydney Opera House 2015

Turandot - Opera at the Sydney Opera House 2015

Showing: 24 JUNE 2015– 28 AUGUST 2015

As the moon rises, a death cry wails through imperial Peking. Torture and death mean nothing. Freedom from possession means everything. Will the Princess win again?

You've heard the hit, 'Nessun dorma'. Now see the opera: an exotic adventure of poetry and myth, set in a world where fear and love go hand in hand and death is always just around the corner.

After astounding audiences in last year's Tosca, Yonghoon Lee will sing that glorious aria as Calaf, with Lise Lindstrom, the most famous Turandot of our time. Christian Badea returns to Australia to conduct following his success with Otello.

Truthfully, few of the millions of people who watched that broadcast had an inkling of what the power of that music can be. Few had seen Turandot – Puccini’s opera about a brutal princess and an impossibly brave suitor, who will make any sacrifice to win her love.

Turandot is a fantasy opera of poetry and myth, set in an exotic world where fear and love go hand in hand and death is always just around the corner. ‘Nessun dorma’ is just one of its magnificent moments.

After astounding audiences in last year’s Tosca, Yonghoon Lee will sing that glorious aria as Calaf, with Lise Lindstrom, the most famous Turandot of our time.
