Review: TURANDOT, Royal Ballet And Opera
by Franco Milazzo - Dec 17, 2025

The Royal Opera House’s Turandot has now been running so long it feels less like a revival and more like a listed structure.

With close to 300 performances under its belt and two runs in this calendar year alone, this production has become the most frequently staged opera in Europe, second only to Zeffirelli’s La Bohème at the Met in the global endurance league. If cockroaches ever start staging Puccini after the apocalypse, this is the version they’ll use.
