Turandot year

2026 has been declared the Turandot year.

Why? Because this famous and beloved opera by Giacamo Puccini was first conducted in the Scala in april 1926, a century ago. 

The opera is set in China and follows the Prince Calaf, who falls in love with the cold-hearted Princess Turandot.  In order to win her hand in marriage, a suitor must solve three riddles, with a wrong answer resulting in his execution. Calaf passes the test, but Turandot refuses to marry him. He offers her a way out: if she is able to guess his name before dawn the next day, he will accept death. 

Gabrielle has performed the leading role of Princess Turandot many times with great succes. Examples are the opera performances at Taormina Opera Festival (top image) and in the Teatro Verdi di Triëste.
