Turandot

Opera Queensland's production of
Puccini's
Turandot is brought to the
stage by one of Australia's boldest interpreters, Graeme Murphy. The Forbidden
City of ancient Peking is full of colour and movement, boasting spectacular sets
and costumes only matched by Puccini’s glorious score, including the

Maisuradze as the persistent Calaf.
