Due to some technical difficulties in the uplink of the signal to North American viewers during the November 8 broadcast of this production, there were video and audio dropouts. To address this inconvenience Crane, The Roxy Theater and the Met Opera give back to the community with a free screening of “Turandot." Tickets are required due to limited seating!

Director Franco Zeffirelli’s breathtaking production of Puccini’s last opera is a Met favorite. Marie 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 love and who sings the famous “Nessun dorma.”
