Tenerife Opera 2007

The Tenerife Opera season starts today with the first of three performances of Giacomo Puccini's opera in three acts, Turandot.

Puccini's posthumous work will be performed in the Sala Sinfónica of the Auditorio de Tenerife on Tuesday, September 25th, Thursday, September 27th and Saturday, September 29th.

Of course, the program was planned long ago, but I imagine this will stir a few emotions, so soon after the death of Pavarotti, whose performance of Nessun Dorma (from the third act of Turandot) is the favorite of many, whether they are into opera, or not.

Incidentally, there's a lovely translation of the words of Nessun Dorma here.
