Following last year's release of Manon Lescaut, Andrea Bocelli stays with Puccini for an emotionally charged account of the composer's magnificent Turandot. This new complete opera recording, featuring the world-renowned aria "Nessun dorma" ("None shall sleep"), will be warmly welcomed by Bocelli's army of ardent fans. It is conducted by Zubin Mehta, who has made a speciality of this first-class Puccini opera ever since his landmark 1972 Decca recording, here drawing a stirring orchestral performance from the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana.

Bocelli takes the lead role of Calaf – the unknown prince – and his powerful tenor tells a compelling story of riddles answered, triumph secured, honour displayed and love deeply felt.
