  Puccini’s iconic opera, about a Princess looking for love, is reinvented in ancient China in the exciting times of Marco Polo and Kublai Khan during the Yuan dynasty with an innovativenew interpretation.

Theatre Director Jonathan Man and Composer Ruth Chan have worked in association with Portsmouth’s New Theatre Royal, on a creative research and development process to explore the TURANDOT REIMAGINED idea.
