About This Event

Scottish Opera is set to stage Puccini's magnificent opera, Turandot, at the Theatre Royal Glasgow on Thursday 22 October 2026. This striking new co-production, a collaboration with Irish National Opera, delves into the compelling narrative of Princess Turandot, a figure renowned for her beauty and her cruel decree: any prince seeking her hand must answer three perilous riddles. Failure to do so results in a swift and tragic end. The opera's dramatic heart lies in the arrival of Prince Calaf, a determined suitor who, captivated by the princess, resolves to face the ultimate test. He is willing to gamble all, including his life, for the chance of winning her love. This production promises a visually and emotionally rich experience, bringing to life the grandeur and passion of Puccini's final, unfinished masterpiece. Performances commence at 6:15pm, offering an evening of operatic drama. Tickets are affordably priced, with options starting from just £14.
