About “Turandot”
Turandot (1762) is a play written by Count Carlo Gozzi, based on a story from the collection Les Mille et Un Jours (1710–1712) by François Pétis de la Croix. Gozzi's version of Turandot was first performed at the Teatro San Samuele in Venice on 22 January 1762. The play is part of the commedia dell'arte tradition, a form of early Italian theater known for its improvisation and stock characters. Gozzi adapted the story, which is said to be of Persian origin, into a theatrical work that reflected the style and structure of commedia dell'arte. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
