Taste of Opera: Puccini & Persia, A Celebration of Art & Opera
Turandot is a story with deep Persian roots with detours through China and Italy and the San Diego Museum of Art’s Asian collection has unique connections to this story. Puccini & Persia: A Celebration of Art and Opera ties into the San Diego Opera production of Puccini’s opera Turandot, a synthesis of the art and culture of that Silk Road and its differently cultures.
This event will have two ways for guests to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of this magical tale. VIP tours with Asian Collection Curator Diana Chou and Dr. Nic Reveles are available or simply join us for a reception that will feature a conversation between these two experts, light hors d’oeuvres, wine, and Modern Times beer and performance by Angel Blue, who is making her San Diego Opera performance in Turandot as Liù. The Asian Art Collection will be open for guests to enjoy during the reception.
