Opera Australia: Turandot

Chen Shi-Zheng helms Puccini's spectacular opera on Sydney Harbour, starring Dragana Radakovic and Riccardo Massi. A sleek, modern production featuring contemporary cinema, Chinese acrobatics, and breathtaking fireworks. Steering away from traditional styles, this lavish production presents a sleek, modern China, blending spectacular staging with elements of modern cinema and breathtaking Chinese acrobatics. The drama unfolds on a stunning set designed by Dan Potra, featuring a shimmering 18-metre-tall pagoda and a colossal, 60-metre fire-breathing dragon whose tail morphs into the Great Wall. Dragana Radakovic stars as the icy princess Turandot, alongside Riccardo Massi as Calaf, the mysterious prince determined to win her love or face the executioner’s blade. With a cast of over 70 performers, brilliant fireworks lighting up the night sky, and a soaring score that includes the legendary aria ‘Nessun dorma’, this is an unmissable, open-air cinematic event.
