Can love break the grip of
a ruthless princess?

In ancient China, young men are dying to marry a princess. Time and again, Turandot sentences her suitors to death as they fail to answer three riddles. When the Prince of Tartary sees the icy beauty, he, too, falls under her spell – a spell that only love can break. Based on a Persian fairy tale, Turandot explores the heart of a woman imprisoned by the past. Will love and death continue to walk hand in hand? Or will passion free the frozen heart of a princess?

The first local staging of Turandot in more than a decade, Arizona Opera’s production features opulent, crowd thrilling costumes and sets. Turandot’s signature tenor aria, "Nessun Dorma", has long captivated audiences with its gorgeous, sweeping melody, sustained high notes and emotional power. This is Italian opera at its grandest. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
