Turandot’s dates always end with a funeral. To avoid tying the knot with one or other stranger, she lays down a terrible rule: Anyone seeking her hand must solve three riddles. Three right answers will result in marriage, a single error in death by beheading. Blinded by his love for the emperor’s daughter, the mysterious Prince Calaf takes up the challenge.

Giacomo Puccini died in Brussels in 1924, leaving the score of his last opera unfinished. A century later, conductor Kazushi Ono and director Christophe Coppens prove that the work has more to offer than its iconic aria ‘Nessun dorma’. Coppens sets Turandot in present-day Hong Kong, where an immensely rich family is losing itself in money, power and violence. Trying to escape her mother’s iron grip, the rebellious Turandot finds herself in a maelstrom of derailed fantasy that drives her to extremes.

Turandot (Giacomo Puccini) | Teaser

La princesse Turandot refuse de se marier. Pour y échapper, elle instaure une règle cruelle : celui qui voudra conquérir son cœur devra résoudre trois énigmes. Trois bonnes réponses vaudront au gagnant de remporter sa main en mariage ; une seule erreur et c’est la mort par décapitation. Aveuglé par son amour pour la fille de l’empereur, le mystérieux prince Calaf relève le défi. Mais quand il répond correctement aux questions, les rôles sont inversés, et c’est au tour de Turandot de devoir découvrir son secret à lui. Un jeu de devinettes qui se révèle bientôt aussi dangereux que l’amour lui-même.

Giacomo Puccini meurt à Bruxelles en 1924, laissant inachevée la partition de son dernier opéra. Tout juste 100 ans plus tard, le chef d’orchestre Kazushi Ono et le metteur en scène Christophe Coppens démontrent que l’œuvre a bien plus à offrir que la seule aria iconique « Nessun dorma ». Leur lecture de Turandot est celle d’une histoire d’horreur moderne se déroulant dans un monde brutal, où l’amour est rare et où règne la logique de l’argent, du pouvoir, de la violence et de la peur. Pourrait-on imaginer conte plus actuel ?

Princess Turandot refuses to marry. To escape it, she establishes a cruel rule: whoever wants to conquer her heart must solve three riddles. Three correct answers will earn the winner their hand in marriage; one mistake and it's death by decapitation. Blinded by his love for the Emperor's daughter, the mysterious Prince Calaf takes up the challenge. But when he answers the questions correctly, the roles are reversed, and it's Turandot's turn to have to discover his own secret . A guessing game that soon turns out to be as dangerous as love itself.

Giacomo Puccini died in Brussels in 1924, leaving the score of his last opera unfinished. Just 100 years later, conductor Kazushi Ono and director Christophe Coppens demonstrate that the work has much more to offer than just the iconic aria “Nessun dorma”. Their reading of Turandot is that of a modern horror story set in a brutal world, where love is rare and where the logic of money, power, violence and fear reigns. Could one imagine a more current tale?
