Turandot prep
Added 2024-06-04 18:00:47 +0000 UTCFor those of you attending the opera tonight - I highly recommend at least reading the article from Opera Philadelphia below. Having a sense how this opera is historically set will help.

Also, if you haven’t already, go listen to Nessun Dorma a few times (Pavarotti is my favorite). You’ll get to see how it’s set in the opera tonight
If you want a synopsis, check out the Met’s version here:

In case you wondered - I’ve never sung in this opera. However, I did sing every aria that the character Liu performs. Her final aria is my favorite.
I am so looking forward to this!!!!
Bests,
Elizabeth
