Giacomo Puccini's three act opera Turandot is set in China and tells the story of Prince Calaf who falls in love with the Princess Turandot. To obtain permission to marry her, a suitor has to solve three riddles, but any wrong answer results in death. Rebeka Lokar is a "commanding Turandot" (Bachtrack) and Jorge de León as the Princess' suitor a "true giant" (Corriere della Sera) with his perfect rendition of "Nessun dorma". Grammy Award nominee Gianandrea Noseda impressively conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Regio "as modern as you have rarely experienced it. Chapeau!" (Operalounge) Stage director Stefano Poda dedicates himself to bring Puccini's Ancient Chinese setting to life. To achieve an aesthetic and conceptual unity, his work also encompasses set and costume design as well as lighting and choreography. "Extraordinary Turandot" (La Repubblica), "unanimous applause at the end!" (La Stampa). "The icy Turandot inflames the Teatro Regio!" (Corriere della Sera)
