Dragana Radakovic stars as the icy princess Turandot, alongside Riccardo Massi as Calaf, the mysterious prince determined to win her love or face the executioner’s blade. With a cast of over 70 performers, brilliant fireworks lighting up the night sky, and a soaring score that includes the legendary aria ‘Nessun dorma’, this is an unmissable, open-air cinematic event.
