Römersteinbruch St. Margarethen - Turandot - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Three Puzzles depicts the mysterious princess and turns around the place on the throne next to her stops. Those who can not solve the puzzle lose their lives under the inexorable sword of the executioner. The spilled blood of hundreds of aspirants soaks the streets of Beijing, the Chinese people groan under the tyrannical rule of the icy princess. All hopes rest on a nameless prince, who, with his old blind father and the unconditionally following Liù from the distant realm of the Tartars, moves into the palace of the dreaded virgin ruler. Miraculously he solves Turandot's diabolical riddles. When the latter refuses to offer his hand to the Tartar prince, he for his part puzzles the stubborn princess: she is to give him his name, which nobody knows. Turandot sets all levers in motion and bans her people from sleeping until the name of the unknown is found ...

"Nobody sleeps - Nessun dorma!", So also begins the famous aria of the prince. Giacomo Puccini came with this litter to a bravura piece for every dramatic tenor. With a dazzling and dramatically blazing music full of stirring melodies, the Maestro from Lucca takes us into the distant and exotic fairytale worlds of the moon-cold princess. Puccini's glistening and mysteriously jagged sounds find their ideal echo in the rugged rocky landscape of the St. Margarethen quarry. The enigmatic Turandot is thus one of the most demanding opera games ever, and hardly a music goes so close to our hearts to the moving pleas and laments of its sacrificial Liù. Giacomo Puccini ignites a whirlwind of emotions, in which even the cold heart of the icy princess burns in love
