When Calaf, the dethroned Mongol prince who has fled to Peking, falls in love with Princess Turandot, he is in mortal danger. He can only be her bridegroom if he solves the Princess’s three riddles. Anyone who fails will be executed, like all the previous can didates. Calaf’s father, Timur, and Liù, who loves Calaf without his knowledge, plead with him in vain. He accepts the challenge.

English

Als Calaf, der entthronte und nach Peking geflohene mongolische Prinz, sich in Prinzessin Turandot verliebt, begibt er sich in tödliche Gefahr: Denn nur, wer die drei Rätsel der Prinzessin löst, kann ihr Bräutigam werden. Wer scheitert, wird hingerichtet – wie alle bisherigen Bewerber. Calafs Vater Timur und Liù, die Calaf ohne sein Wissen liebt, beschwören ihn umsonst. Er nimmt die Herausforderung an.
