Turandot is an opera that tells the story of a stubborn and cruel Chinese princess, named Turandot, who lives in the Forbidden city.

Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858 in Lucca and was a son of a musical director. During his music career, Puccini was also influenced by other musicians. Many early forerunners(先驱者) of Impressionistic(印象派的) Music inspired him greatly. Turandot, an opera based on an Italian drama by the same name, is by far considered to be one of Puccini’s most popular and most performed works. In this opera you can hear a traditional Chinese folk song, which is titled Molihua（茉莉花）or Jasmine Flower.?By admiring the jasmine flower, the song celebrates the sweetness and beauty of romantic love.?However, it’s a pity that Puccini had no chance to watch his own great opera himself.?The opera was first performed in 1926, two years after Puccini’s death in Brussels .
