Puccini, Modernism, and the End of an Era

Learn the true story of Puccini's unfinished opera, Turandot—how Puccini died of cancer in 1924 before completing the work, how his colleague Alfano sought to complete the missing final scene, and how the conductor Toscanini honored the maestro's memory at the opera's premiere in 1926. The history behind the score proves to be just as intensely dramatic as the opera that unfolds onstage.
