Turandot
Fresh from her appearance earlier this season at Covent Garden, Gwyneth Jones takes the title role in Puccini's opera to New York.
Insoluble riddles, insatiable passion and inhuman execution combine with Puccini's exotic orchestration and ecstatic melodies to make Turandot one of the most popular operatic experiences. Sung in Italian; presented by Peter Allen.
