A princess who refuses all men. And so she issues the decree that she will only submit to the suitor who can solve three riddles set by her. If he fails, he will be beheaded. So far, all applicants for her favor have failed. But now Prince Calaf, blinded by the beauty of the princess, dares to take on the challenge. Will he be able to solve the riddles and melt the princess's hard heart?

In his final opera, sound magician Giacomo Puccini transports his audience to an exotic, surreal China. Here, he sums up his life's work, offering passionate melodies, virtuosic orchestration, and powerful choruses to reveal the human emotions behind the shimmering, fairy-tale facade. However, he passed away before he could fully complete the final scene with Turandot's transformation from a cold princess to a loving woman. In 2002, the renowned contemporary composer Luciano Berio presented his version of the finale, based on Puccini's sketches, which will also be performed in Linz.
