Turandot (Italian:
[turanˈdɔt] ⓘ;
[1][2] see
below) is an
opera in three acts by
Giacomo Puccini to a
libretto in Italian by
Giuseppe Adami and
Renato Simoni. Puccini left the opera unfinished at the time of his death in 1924; it premiered in 1926 after the music was posthumously completed by
Franco Alfano.
The opera is set in
China and follows the Prince Calaf, who falls in love with the cold Princess Turandot.
[3] In order to win her hand in marriage, a suitor must solve three riddles, with a wrong answer resulting in his execution. Calaf passes the test, but Turandot refuses to marry him. He offers her a way out: if she is able to guess his name before dawn the next day, he will accept death.
