Experience the jaw-dropping scale and raw passion of legendary composer Giacomo Puccini’s final masterpiece, featuring Nessun dorma, the most famous and breathtaking tenor aria in all of opera. Set in a mythical, ice-bound kingdom where a ruthless princess challenges her suitors to a deadly game of riddles, this monumental production builds to a historic finale that was completed from Puccini’s final sketches after his tragic death. Do not miss your chance to witness opera at its most powerful, epic, and unforgettable. This production is sponsored by Nancy Pillsbury.
