Turandot
Play a Supporting Role
Help us bring Puccini's final masterpiece to life
This autumn, Scottish Opera will present the UK’s first fully staged production of Turandot performed with Franco Alfano's original completion, our most ambitious project since the award-winning production of Il trittico in 2023. The creative dream team behind this powerful opera triptych – Director Sir David McVicar, Sets & Props Designer Charles Edwards and Conductor Stuart Stratford - will be reuniting once more for another spellbinding production, this time set in a vaudeville-inspired world of faded glamour. They are joined by Costume Designer Doey Lüthi. Our talented artisans are ready to build, paint, sew and sculpt, but we need your support. We would be deeply grateful if you would Play a Supporting Role in helping us bring this incredible opera to life.
