Turandot –The operas story is set in China and involves Prince Calàf, who falls in love with the cold Princess Turandot. To obtain permission to marry her, a suitor has to solve three riddles; any wrong answer results in death. The Prince tries to convince Turandot to love him. At first she is disgusted, but after he kisses her, she feels herself turning towards passion. She admits that, ever since he came, she had both hated and loved him. She asks him to ask for nothing more and to leave, taking his mystery with him. The Prince however, reveals his name, Calàf, son of Timur and places his life in Turandots hands. She can now destroy him if she wants. Turandot and Calàf approach the Emperors throne. She declares that she knows the Princes name: Diecimila anni al nostro Imperatore! – It is ... love! The crowd cheers and acclaims the two lovers (O sole! Vita! Eternità). #Puccini #Turandot #music #opera
