CloseThe Met Opera bring a selection from their award-winning series of live, high-definition performance transmissions to Warwick Arts Centre.
Director Franco Zeffirelli’s breathtaking production of Puccini’s last opera is a favourite of the Met repertoire and is conducted by Andris Nelsons.
Maria Guleghina plays the ruthless Chinese princess of the title, whose hatred of men is so strong that she has all suitors who can’t solve her riddles beheaded. Marcello Giordani sings Calàf, the unknown prince who eventually wins her live and whose solos include the famous Nessun Dorma.
Running Time: 3hrs 30mins approximately (including 2 intervals)
