OPERA ON THE LAKE 2015 TURANDOT GIACOMO PUCCINI 22 JULY – 23 AUGUST 2015 ”Nessun dorma” – no one may sleep, because by daybreak the Chinese princess has to find out the name of the unknown prince. Calaf was the first suitor to solve her riddles, but what he wants is Turandot’s love... Lyric drama in three acts and five scenes (1926) | Libretto by Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni after the play by Carlo Gozzi | Sung in Italian with German surtitles PREMIERE 22 July 2015 – 9.15 p.m. One of the most famous of all arias was composed by Giacomo Puccini for his last opera. The Chinese princess Turandot has commanded that no one is to sleep – ”Nessun dorma” – for the night because by daybreak she has to find out the name of an unknown prince – or else return his love. So far she has kept men away by means of a brutal oath: any man that wants to conquer Turandot must first solve three riddles; and if he fails he is beheaded. Like so many men before him, the unknown prince is spellbound by her appearance. He’s the first suitor to solve all three riddles. But he wants her heart, so he sets a riddle of his own. If she discovers his name by morning, he’s ready to go to his death. Another woman, Liù, knows his name but movingly prefers to take her own life than reveal her secret – she loved the prince too much.

TICKETS FOR CATEGORIES 2 TO 5 are valid only for lake performances. If a performance is transferred to the Festspielhaus, ticket holders will be refunded the ticket value if the open-air performance does not take place at all or is abandoned after less than 60 minutes.
