Turandot at Place des Arts - Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier

All men desire her to the point of being willing to die for her--but three riddles stand in the way of their melting her icy heart. Puccini's final masterpiece, the legendary fable of the blood-thirsty princess Turandot, will be presented in a very special semi-staged gala performance. Among its glorious choruses and sumptuous musical treasures is the stunningly beautiful aria "Nessun dorma." Last seen locally in The Flying Dutchman, Lise Lindstrom, now considered "THE Turandot of our time" (Opera News), returns to thrill audiences as she brings to life the role of the icy Chinese Princess.
