Details of event
Turandot is the last opera by G. Puccini, who died shortly before finishing it. He found the theme in Schiller’s dramatisation of Carlo Gozzi’s Persian fairy-tale (originally a tale from the collection of dervish Mokles’ Thousand and One Nights) about a Chinese princess. The opera contains absorbing, highly dramatic scenes between the cruel princess Turandot and prince Kalaf. Puccini’s effort to achieve the truest possible Chinese vocal colour is strengthened by the use of pentatonics as the basic form of Chinese tonal system, easing the rhythm and often changing time, which is characteristic for the Chinese conception of music.
