Description
The cruel princess Turandot forced his father, emperor Altoum, to promise that he would marry her only to a young man of princely blood who would answer the three questions she asked. Any candidate who gives the wrong answer will be beheaded. The titular heroine’s gallery is constantly growing, the emperor is exhausted by his decision, the people want the end of the terror and the three Mandarins, always ready to act as masters of ceremony, are dreaming of a peaceful province without a perpetual procession of enamoured suicides.
