COMPAGNIE LYRIQUE OPERA 2001 “Turandot” is Puccini's ultimate work, a veritable musical testament which unites in an ultimate apotheosis all the components of the Puccinian genius. Created in 1926, this opera is considered today as a masterpiece of the lyrical repertoire.
With “Turandot”, Puccini transports us to an ancient and fantasized China. In the heart of Beijing, the destiny of a love triangle is played out: the cruel Princess Turandot, the Tartar prince Calaf madly in love with her and the slave Liù, in love with Calaf. The pathetic accents of passion, the intensity of an intimate drama tinged with the mysterious charm of the Orient, the bewitching atmosphere of fantastic tales, are all key elements of this monument of lyrical art, whose he writing was interrupted by the death of Puccini. His ambition was to “make, against everyone and everything, an opera of melody”. He succeeded fully. Who has never heard the famous Nessun Dorma which is a symbol of opera arias?
For this work with great spectacle, we find the orchestra of the opera company Opera 2001 as well as a vocal and instrumental cast at the height of this magnificent work.
