Director Franco Zeffirellis breathtaking production of Puccinis last opera is a favorite of the Met repertoire. Maria Guleghina plays the ruthless Chinese princess of the title, whose hatred of men is so strong that she has all suitors who cant solve her riddles beheaded. Marcello Giordani sings Cal f, the unknown prince who eventually wins her love and whose solos include the famous Nessun dorma.
