Turandot Trailer

Folkoperan presents Puccini's grand opera Turandot about love and death directed by Mellika Melouani Melani.

Giacomo Puccini's last and unfinished opera Turandot premiered in 1926, two years after his death. Princess Turandot subjects her suitors to trials that always end with them losing their heads. It is a mythological material that can withstand a psychoanalytical reading. In director Mellika Melouani Melani's interpretation, man is caught between civilization and drive. Here, a world with several symbolic layers is created in the Freudian encounter between love and the death drive. A love that kills.

Puccini did not have time to complete Turandot, but we can guess what he means by "E poi Tristano" ("Then Tristan") which he writes on the unfinished sketch of the final duet. Tristan and Isolde don't just die of love. They also die from going up in their own song that no longer belongs to the earthly. In Folkoperan's production, Calaf finally gives himself up for his love for Turandot. It will be brutal.

English

Giacomo Puccinis sista och oavslutade opera Turandot hade urpremiär 1926, två år efter hans död. Prinsessan Turandot utsätter sina friare för prövningar som alltid slutar med att de förlorar huvudet. Det är ett mytologiskt stoff som tål en psykoanalytisk läsning. I regissören Mellika Melouani Melanis tolkning är människan fångad mellan civilisationen och driften. Här skapas en värld med flera symboliska lager i det freudianska mötet mellan kärleken och dödsdriften. En kärlek som dödar.

Puccini hann inte slutföra Turandot, men vi kan ana vad han åsyftar med ”E poi Tristano” (“Därefter Tristan”) som han skriver på den ofullbordade skissen av slutduetten. Tristan och Isolde dör inte bara av kärlek. De dör även av att gå upp i sin egen sång som inte längre hör till det jordiska. I Folkoperans produktion ger Calaf till sist upp sig själv för sin kärlek till Turandot. Det kommer att bli brutalt.
