It is an ancient story, but one that is vital, real. It is the story of a beautiful princess, Turandot, who hides behind words. She has used them to create a fortress, a prison. She has lost the sense of joy and has become “the ice princess”; cruel, distant and enclosed within the silence of her mystery. Without hope, without passion, without love. As hard and as splendid as a crystal. Many princes have tried in vain to solve her riddle, but none have managed. Their ambition for glory and their desire to conquer have been punished; they have all lost their heads, deluding themselves that they could possess her. Until, one day... 
Now in its 18th edition, MITO SettembreMusica celebrates the brilliance of Giacomo Puccini with a staging of Turandot created for a younger audience.
