Ah, cruel Turandot. Such gorgeous costumes, such amazing arias, such spectacular head-dress. Turandot will only marry a suitor if they can answer her riddle three. If not, then off with their heads. For a story about a riddler, Giacomo Puccini sure riddled this classic opera with so many weak plotlines and underdeveloped characters. But then again, it is an opera and not a novel.
Side note: “Rurandot” sounds like if Scooby Doo tries to say “Turandot.”
