Turandot is a lyric drama in three acts and five scenes written by Giuseppe Adami. The story is set in ancient China and revolves around the beautiful and cold-hearted Princess Turandot, who has sworn to never marry unless a suitor can solve three riddles she has devised. If they fail, they will be executed. The story follows the attempts of a prince named Calaf, who falls in love with Turandot and attempts to solve her riddles. Along the way, he enlists the help of a slave girl named Li�����, who is in love with him. The book is a libretto for the opera of the same name by Giacomo Puccini, which premiered in 1926. The text includes stage directions and descriptions of the characters and their actions, as well as the lyrics to the songs and a synopsis of each scene. The book is a classic of Italian opera and a masterpiece of lyric drama.Parallel Text In English And Italian. Text By Giuseppe Adami And Renato Simoni; English Translation By K. H. B.
