About
STAGED BY: Marco Arturo Marelli
Mention Giacomo Puccini’s name and opera-lovers all over the world will think of grand opera and passionate love stories. One of the world’s most famous arias comes from the composer’s final opera, Turandot: “Nessun dorma” – none shall sleep because by morning the Chinese princess is determined to have discovered the name of the unknown prince. The work is remarkable for its Chinese local colour, its opulent crowd scenes, its powerful choruses and its characters overwhelmed by their emotions. Enthusiastically acclaimed by its audiences, the present production combines spectacular and touching scenes on the Bregenz Festival’s vast lakeside stage.

November 2015
Guanqun Yu's schoolgirl Liu, sporting beret and pigtails, is the pick of the cast. She delivers a beautifully affecting, 'Tu che di gel sei cinta'…Riccardo Massi sings attractively as Calaf, with a very creditable 'Nessun dorma'…an enjoyable staging
May 2016
As so often in Turandot, it is Liù who steals the show, in the form of Guanqun Yu’s vibrantly sung slave-girl, dressed as a schoolgirl with pigtails and carrying a knapsack on her back, presumably containing her and Timur’s worldly goods. The Crimean bass Michail Ryssov is dignified if occasionally musically hasty as the dethroned king of the Tartars. Paolo Carignani conducts a vital, secure account of the score.
