AN ANALYTICAL COMPARISON BETWEEN PUCCINI’S TURANDOT - ACT II AND BUSONI’S TURANDOT - ACT I - SCENE 2

Abstract

The theme of this work is to display in detail the arguments for which Puccini’s Turandot remains a masterpiece, while Busoni’s opera with the same name is barely known and performed. Nevertheless, Busoni’s work is not worthless, and deserves our attention.
