NEW ENDING DALLAS PREMIERE
An Operatic Masterpiece with a New Ending
To win the hand of Princess Turandot, a suitor must solve three riddles; failure to do so means death. No man seems up to the challenge until an unknown prince steps forward. Will the icy princess finally warm to true love? Puccini’s unfinished work returns to The Dallas Opera with a new ending by Grammy Award®–winning composer Christopher Tin and acclaimed playwright and screenwriter Susan Soon He Stanton, celebrated for her work on Succession.
Composer Christopher Tin is well known for his work composing music for video games, including Civilization IV—the first piece of music written for a video game to ever win a Grammy Award®!
Puccini’s iconic work demands vocal talent like no other. Anna Pirozzi “is a classic Turandot–huge, perfumed voice and imperious presence…” (THE STAGE). With Pirozzi’s presence, alongside Gabriella Reyes’ “intense and powerful voice” (SOUTH FLORIDA CLASSICAL REVIEW), this heightened new production brilliantly showcases the entire cast.
TURANDOT is a co-production of Washington National Opera, Opéra de Montréal, and The Dallas Opera. Scenery for this production is by the Washington National Opera and is jointly owned by Washington National Opera, Opéra de Montréal, and The Dallas Opera. Costumes for this production were constructed at the Washington National Opera and are jointly owned by Washington National Opera, Opéra de Montréal, and The Dallas Opera.
