We invite the audience to experience a drama of bitter hatred and unexpected love in the court of the Chinese Emperor. Giacomo Puccini’s (1858–1924) final opera, Turandot, was left unfinished at the time of his death and later completed by composer Franco Alfano, premiering in 1926. The opera was written at the beginning of the 20th century, a period marked by the rise of dictators and political upheaval, on the brink of world wars and globalisation. The turbulent era is also reflected in the cultural works of the time.
The plot of Turandot is based on an ancient Persian tale, later adapted into a play of the same name by Friedrich Schiller. The story centres on three powerful archetypes: the Dictator, the Fanatic, and the Martyr. Which character represents which archetype is left for the audience's interpretation.
The concept of Opera Light is unique. A new character - the narrator - is added to the abridged opera, who introduces the protagonists, clarifies the plotlines and becomes an equal partner of the soloists. Through a contemporary yet respectful interpretation of the classical work, audiences are invited to experience the essence of the opera by listening to its key arias and ensembles, and following its central plotline and emotional arcs.
