Why see San Francisco Opera - Turandot?
AN ALL TIME FAVORITE
Whether you are a seasoned opera buff or a first timer, you can't go wrong with the pomp and passion of Puccini's final masterpiece. Prepare to be whisked to the historical Kingdom of Peking, presided over by a Princess whose heart is as hard as her beauty renowned. As the realm faces upheaval, peace depends on her choosing a suitor, but after swearing off men after the violent death of a beloved ancestor, its no easy task for even the most ardent admirer.
When the exiled Prince Calaf decides to try his hand at Turandot's mind-bending and often fatal 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.

but this is the best. Great, easily accessible music likely
to be familiar even to those who don't go to operas.
When people refer to"Grand Opera," this is what they

My daughters first Opera
Just to see how excited and involved
my daughter who is 12 was made me
even more connected and in Love
with this Opera.
Especially since she was so resistant
to going.
From the set design to the Powerful
voices to the intermission
commentary which my daughter
didn’t want to miss a moment of.
To say that I enjoyed this Opera is a
understatement!!! ... Read more

After the Opera go out to dinner at Caffe Tiramisu for a great meal. ... Read more
