Act I
In front of the imperial palace.
A Mandarin announces the law of the land ( Popolo di Pekino! - Any man who desires to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles. If he fails, he will be beheaded ). The Prince of Persia has failed and is to be beheaded at moonrise. As the crowd surges towards the gates of the palace, the imperial guards brutally repulse them, a blind old man is pushed to the ground. His slave-girl, Liù, cries for help. A young man hears her cry and recognizes the old man as his long-lost father, Timur, the deposed king of Tartary. The young Prince of Tartary is overjoyed seeing his father alive but urges him not to speak his name because he fears the Chinese rulers who have conquered Tartary. Timur tells his son that of all his servants, only Liù has remained faithful to him. When the Prince asks her why, she tells him that once, long ago in the palace, he smiled upon her (The crowd, Liù, Prince of Tartary, Timur: Indietro, cani! ).
The moon rises, and the crowds cries for blood turn into silence. The doomed Prince of Persia is led before the crowd on his way to execution. The young Prince is so handsome that the crowd, the Prince of Tartary too is moved to compassion and calls Turandot to spare his life (The crowd, Prince of Tartary : O giovinetto! ). She appears, and with a single imperious gesture orders the execution to continue. The Prince of Tartary, who has never seen Turandot before, falls immediately in love. As he cries out her name with joy, the crowd screams in horror: The Prince of Persia has been beheaded.
The Prince of Tartary is dazzled by Turandots beauty. He is about to rush towards the gong and strike it three times; the symbolic gesture of whoever wishes to marry Turandot when the ministers Ping, Pong, and Pang appear and urge him cynically ( Fermo, che fai? ) not to lose his head for Turandot but to go back to his own country.
Timur urges his son to desist, and Liù, who is secretly in love with the Prince, pleads with him in her acclaimed ( Signore, ascolta! ) not to attempt the riddles. Lius words touch his heart. The Prince tells Liu to make exile more bearable and never to abandon his father if the Prince fails to answer the riddles ( Non piangere, Liù - Don cry, Liù ) . The three ministers, Timur and Liù try one last time to hold the Prince ( Ah! Per lultima volta! ) but he refuses to listen.
He utters Turandots name three times and rushes to the gong that hangs in front of the palace. He strikes the gong three times declaring himself a suitor. From the palace balcony, Turandot accepts the challenge.

[edit] Scene 1
A pavilion in the imperial palace. Before sunrise.
Ping, grand chancellor (Baritone), Pang, grand purveyor (Tenor), and Pong, grand cook (Tenor) from Act 2 Scene 1. This is from the 2002 coproduction of the Mariinsky Theatre, St. Petersburg and the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden.Ping, Pang, and Pong lament their place as ministers, poring over palace documents and presiding over endless rituals. They prepare themselves for either a wedding or a funeral (Ping, Pang, Pong: Ola, Pang! ) . Ping suddenly longs for his country house in Honan, with its small lake surrounded by bamboo. Pong remembers his grove of forests near Tsiang, and Pang recalls his gardens near Kiu. The three share fond memories of life away from the palace (Ping, Pang, Pong: Ho una casa nellHonan ) but are shaken back to the realities of Turandots bloody reign. They continually accompany young men to death and recall their ghastly fate.
As the palace trumpet sounds, the ministers ready themselves for another spectacle as they await the entrance of the Emperor.
[edit] Scene 2
The courtyard of the palace. Sunrise.
Screenshot from the same production, Act 2 Scene 2.The Emperor Altoum, father of Turandot, sits on his grand throne in his palace. He urges the Prince to withdraw his challenge but the Prince refuses (Altoum, the Prince: Un giuramento atroce ). Turandot enters and explains ( In questa reggia ) that her ancestor of millennia past, Princess Lo-u-Ling, was ravished and murdered by a foreigner, and now out of revenge she has sworn to never let any man possess her. She warns the Prince to withdraw, but again he refuses.
The Princess presents her first riddle ( Straniero, ascolta! ) What is born each night and dies each dawn? The Prince correctly replies, Hope.
The Princess, unnerved, presents her second riddle ( Guizza al pari di fiamma ) What flickers red and warm like a flame, but is not fire? The Prince thinks for a moment before replying, Blood. Turandot is shaken. The crowd cheers the Prince, provoking Turandots anger.
She presents her third riddle ( Gelo che ti da foco ) What is like ice, but burns like fire? As the prince thinks, Turandot taunts him. Suddenly he cries out victory and announces, Turandot!
The crowd cheers for the triumphant Prince. Turandot throws herself at her fathers feet and pleads with him not to leave her to the Princes mercy. The Emperor insists that an oath is sacred, and it is Turandots duty to wed the Prince (Turandot, Altoum, the Prince: Figlio del cielo ). As she cries out in anger, the Prince stops her, saying that he has a proposal for her. You do not know my name. Bring me my name before sunrise, and at sunrise, I will die ( Tre enigmi mhai proposto ). Turandot accepts. The Emperor declares that he hopes to call the Prince his son come sunrise.
[edit] Act III
[edit] Scene 1
The palace gardens. Night.
In the distance, heralds call out Turandots command ( Cosi comanda Turandot - This night, none shall sleep in Peking! The penalty for all will be death if the Princes name is not discovered by morning ). The Prince waits for dawn and anticipates his victory by singing Nobody shall sleep!... Nobody shall sleep! Even you, O Princess ( Nessun dorma ).
Ping, Pong, and Pang appear and offer the Prince women and riches if he will only give up Turandot ( Tu che guardi le stelle ), but he refuses. A group of soldiers then drag in Timur and Liù. They have been seen speaking to the Prince, so they must know his name. Turandot enters and orders Timur and Liù to speak. The Prince feigns ignorance, saying they know nothing. Liù declares that she alone knows the Princes name, but she will not reveal it. Ping demands the Princes name, and when she refuses, she is tortured. Turandot is clearly taken by Liùs resolve and asks her who put so much strength in her heart. Liù answers Princess, Love!. Turandot demands that Ping tear the Princes name from Liù, and he orders her to be tortured. Liù counters Turandot ( Tu che di gel sei cinta ), saying that she too shall learn love. Having spoken, Liù seizes a dagger from a soldiers belt and stabs herself. As she staggers towards the Prince and falls dead, the crowd screams for her to speak the Princes name. Since Timur is blind, he must be told about Liùs death, and he cries out in anguish. Timur warns that the gods will be offended by this outrage, and the crowd is subdued with shame and fear. The grieving Timur and the crowd follow Liùs body as it is carried away. Everybody departs leaving the Prince and Turandot. He reproaches Turandot for her cruelty (The Prince, Turandot: Principessa di morte ) and then takes her in his arms and kisses her in spite of her resistance.
Here Puccinis work ends. The remainder of the music was completed by Franco Alfano.
The Prince tries to convince Turandot to love him. At first she is disgusted, but after he kisses her, she feels herself turning towards passion. She asks him to ask for nothing more but leave, taking his mystery with him. The Prince however, reveals his name, Calàf, son of Timur and places his life in Turandots hand. She can now destroy him if she wants (Turandot, Calàf: Del primo pianto ).
[edit] Scene 2
The courtyard of the palace. Dawn.
Turandot and Calàf approach the Emperors throne. She declares that she knows the Princes name: It is ... love! ( Diecimila anni al nostro Imperatore! ).
The crowd cheers and acclaims the two lovers ( O sole! Vita! Eternita ).
