Turandot; Puccini’s final opera presented by the acclaimed Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour and directed by Chen Shi-Zheng who brings a unique perspective to this classic story. Steering away from traditional Chinese tropes, Chen Shi-Zheng presents a China that is sleek and modern, with set elements and costumes that reflect the spirit of today. With a cast of seventy-eight, designer Dan Potra has created a stunning set for the spectacular harbour backdrop, including a 60-meter fire-breathing dragon, with a tail that morphs into the Great Wall, and a shimmering pagoda that stands 18 meters tall. Expect bold, dramatic, bright shapes and a set that will take your breath away. World-class opera in a spectacular Dragana Radakovic stars as Turandot, the beautiful Chinese princess with a heart of ice. Riccardo Massi is Calaf, the mysterious prince who watches the princess behead a rival suitor and falls instantly in love. Hyeseoung Kwon is Liù, the slave girl in love with Calaf, who knows the secret that will destroy him. In a land of executioners, riddles and fear, can love conquer death?
