I am a passionate hunter of wildfowl, libretti and women and the shyest quarry of all is a good libretto. (GIACOMO PUCCINI) In 1924 Puccini entered the Institut de la Couronne in Brussels to undergo painful radium therapy for a throat tumour. Shortly before he did so, he was reconciled with the conductor, Arturo Toscanini , with whom he had quarrelled some time previously.
Toscanini now agreed to conduct the world premiere of Puccini's twelfth and as yet unfinished opera, Turandot, at La Scala, Milan. But would it ever be finished? Also taking part:
