Ⅱ. A retold version of the text
Turandot is an opera which was written by Puccini，an Italian，but he died，leaving it unfinished. And Franco Alfano，one of his former students，completed the rest.
It was performed in the Forbidden City in Beijing，China where once only in history the emperor，his family and officials were allowed. Many world?s greatest opera singers and Chines e musicians，actors and singers were cast. The production combined the very best of Western and Chinese talents in music，staging and directing. So the performance was splendid.
