Puccini's Unfinished Opera Gets a New Sound

Giacomo Puccini's opera "Turandot," famed for its aria "Nessun dorma," has received a new completion by composer Christopher Tin. Tin, celebrated for his work on the Civilization video game series, finished the opera which Puccini left incomplete.

"Turandot," set in ancient China, follows Prince Calaf as he solves the riddles posed by Princess Turandot. Puccini's score ends after Calaf's triumph and the tragic self-sacrifice of Liù, leaving the opera unfinished.

Puccini died in November 1924 after being diagnosed with throat cancer, having experienced a creative block and dissatisfaction with the opera's libretto. His unfinished "Turandot" has since inspired various completions, including Tin's recent version.
