Puccini's Turandot from the Met
Puccini’s Turandot, conducted by Marco Armiliato, with Liudmyla Monastyrska as Turandot, Yonghoon Lee as Calàf, Ermonela Jaho as Liù and Ferruccio Furlanetto as Timur.
Puccini's final masterpiece is both modern and romantic, a classic of 20th-century opera. Liudmyla Monastyrska performs the title role of the proud princess of ancient China, whose riddles doom every suitor who seeks her hand. She appears opposite Yonghoon Lee, who as Calàf the brave prince, sings “Nessun dorma” and wins her love. Ermonela Jaho sings the role of Liù, the faithful slave girl. Marco Armiliato conducts the Chorus and Orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera House.
Presented by Debra Lew Harder, with commentator Ira Siff.
