SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: TURANDOT
DESCRIPTION:Opera in three acts on a libretto by Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni\, based on the homonym play by Carlo Gozzi and its adaptation by Friedrich Schiller \nTurandot\, the last opera of Giacomo Puccini\, finished\, due to the composer’s death\, by his student Franco Alfano\, stands out especially by the way it depicts the feelings of love that stand at the basis of the action. \nThe story takes place in a distant time\, in the fairy-tale world of Peking\, led by the authoritarian princess Turandot. Firmly determined to keep her purity and independence\, she meets her presumable suitors with three difficult riddles and\, in case they are not solved correctly\, with a death sentence. Despite Calaf’s unexpected triumph\, the princess refuses to accept him as her husband. Unfortunately\, the challenge that the „foreigner” threw out to her\, as well – that Turandot discovers his name – will end with Liù’s (Calaf’s slave) supreme sacrifice\, as she tries to protect her master. Her gesture affects deeply the princess\, in the end\, Turandot admits the feelings she first denied\, in front of Calaf and the entire citizenry\, making everyone happy. \nWhile Chinese melodies and the oriental sonorities bring genuineness to the opera\, the brilliant vocal lines of the soloists successfully depict both the interior conflict of the heroine and the bravery\, passion\, and willpower of the male lead. After all\, Calaf’s second aria – Nessun Dorma! found at the beginning of the third act – is one of the most popular in the history of the opera genre\, renowned for the degree of difficulty and the expressiveness displayed by world-famous interpreters like Mario del Monaco\, Giuseppe di Stefano\, Placido Domingo\, José Carreras or Luciano Pavarotti. \nThe performance has two breaks and ends around 9:30 p.m.\nThe performance is interpreted in italian with supratitration in romanian. \n\nRecommended age: 9+
