She said\, “Any prince seeking to marry me must answer three riddles. But if he fails\, he will have to die.”\nAt the square\, a failed prince’s fate\, who is going to the guillotine\, excites a lot of the audience’s blood. In the crowd\, a vanquished king of Tartary\, Timur\, meets his long-lost son\, Prince Calaf\, again. Calaf falls in love with Turandot at first sight. He proclaims to try to answer her three riddles. One of Timur’s slave girls\, Liu\, attempts to stop his reckless resolve\, but his determination strengthens.\n\nAct 2\nTurandot appears\, and begins to ask Calaf her three riddles.\nQ1. What thing is reborn every night? ...A. ‘Hope’\nQ2. What burns hot\, but is not fire? ...A. ‘Blood’\nQ3. What ice can make fire? ...A. ‘Turandot’\nCalaf successfully answers her three riddles. Turandot is upset\, and refuses to marry him. Calaf says to her\, “If you can learn my name by dawn\, I will forfeit my life.”\n\nAct 3\nTurandot gives the crowd in Beijing an order not to sleep until someone learns his name. The people of Beijing frantically find out his name. They catch Liu. Turandot asks Liu why she never says his name. Liu answers that it is because of her love to him\, and kills herself.\nAfter the crowd goes home\, Turandot remains alone to confront Calaf. Then\, Calaf gives away his name to her.\nAt the break of dawn\, Turandot proclaims the victory to learn his name in front of the crowd. She says to the crowd\, “His name is …Love”\, and she then concedes defeat and marries him.\n[envira-gallery id="174"]
