Puccini's Turandot
©CASA Ricordi BMG Ricordi S.p.A. MILAN

The splendour of ancient China is set against the grandeur of the Colosseum of Rome in this spectacular new production from Ellen Kent & Amphitheatre Productions. This fully-staged traditional opera is directed by Ellen Kent in an amphitheatre set designed by London based designer Will Bowen. 
Ellen Kent presents Turandot in celebration of Pavarotti’s life highlighting the unforgettable aria ‘Nessun Dorma’.  Ellen Kent was inspired in 1993 to produce her first opera by Pavarotti’s performance at the 1990 World Cup which opened up opera to the masses.

Turandot is the story of the cold-hearted princess, who is surrounded by suitors facing death if they fail to answer her riddle correctly, and the one man who can melt the ice in her heart. 

The Terracotta Army gazes down from Will Bowen’s set in this epic production performed by international soloists and the full Chisinau National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus. 

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
