A poem by the 12th-century Persian classical poet Nizami, which lies at the
heart of the libretto of the opera, was included in the 18 th century European
collections of Persian fairy tales, from where the Italian playwright Carlo Gozzi
took it for his “fairy tale for the theatre”. Libretto by Giuseppe Adami and Renato
Simoni.
The plot is intriguing: Princess Turandot, a fatal beauty, makes her suitors to
solve three riddles. The prettiest of women’s hand in marriage is promised to the
one who happens to find the right answers, any wrong answer results in immediate
death. Prince Calaf decides to win Turandot’s heart at any cost...
The intrigue will be revealed by the director Davide Livermore, who has
forged his outstanding 22 year career both on the main stages of Europe and at
smaller theatres in his native country Italy, during which time he has been stage
director, stage designer, costume and lighting designer, singer, dancer, actor,
scriptwriter and teacher. He has worked together with artists such as Luciano
Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Mirella Freni, and with many
