After Madama Butterfly (Paris, 1993), Turandot was Robert Wilson’s second production of an opera by Giacomo Puccini. For the performances in Madrid and Vilnius, the finale by Franco Alfano (with Toscanini’s cuts) was used.

“Robert Wilson is not a person to adapt his work to someone’s expectations and has a proper understanding of what theatre performance is. The most important thing for him is a single line, from the first moment to the brilliant last second. And this is what Turandot is.”
