Princess Turandot

Discover the story of Princess Turandot as you have never imagined it before: the cruel princess with her deadly riddles will be centre stage in an illustrated concert where Ferruccio Busoni's music encounters the graphic universe of Amandine Meyer. Under the baton of William Le Sage, the Opéra national de Nancy-Lorraine Orchestra brings this revisited Chinese tale to life, with black and white contrasting with a resolutely contemporary aesthetic. 

In an imaginary China, Turandot, a heroine as fascinating as she is formidable, comes to life in the illustrator's mischievous artwork, while Julia Dantonnet brings this journey between light and shadow to life. The orchestra alternately portrays the violent ordeals imposed on the suitors and the poetry of budding love, all enhanced by illustrations where the magical rubs shoulders with the strange. A production where music and images interact to reinvent this timeless myth – between tradition and daring.
