Closing the season

Puccini's ice-cold Princess returns in this arresting and vibrant production to close Opera Colorado's 40th Anniversary season. Following the tale of the titular Turandot, a Princess who vows only him who completes three impossible tasks will earn her hand in marriage, and the Prince who takes up the challenge, Turandot is a grand operatic experience in every sense of the word!

The Story of Turandot

As her realm faces upheaval, peace depends on Turandot choosing a suitor, but after swearing off men after the violent death of a beloved ancestor, it's no easy task for even the most ardent admirer. When the exiled Prince Calaf decides to try his hand at Turandot's mind-bending challenges, it seems the bloodthirsty ruler may have met her match. Don't miss this opulent production that embodies the spirit of this strange tale of ruthlessness and love hard-won.
