TURANDOT
JULY 14 – AUGUST 21, 2021
Opera by Giacomo Puccini
The mysterious Princess Turandot requires any man who wishes to
propose to her and thus sit on the throne next to her, to solve three
riddles. Those who fail to solve the riddles lose their lives under the
inexorable sword of the executioner. The shed blood of hundreds of
suitors soaks the streets of Beijing, the Chinese people groan under the
tyrannical rule of the ice-cold princess. All hopes rest on a nameless
prince, who one day, with his old blind father and his unconditional
follower Liù, comes from the distant realm of the Tartars to the palace
of the dreaded virgin ruler. Miraculously, he solves Turandot‘s
diabolical riddles. When she refuses to extend her hand for the Tartar TURANDOT by Giacomo Puccini
prince, he asks the restive princess a riddle himself: she shall call him
his name, which nobody knows. Turandot pulls out all the stops of her Sung in Italian with German supertitles
power and imposes a ban on her people not to sleep until the stranger’s St. Margarethen Quarry

ST. MARGARETHEN
QUARRY
WHERE INTERNATIONAL OPERA ENTHUSIASTS
MEET UP
Ever since 1996, St. Margarethen Quarry has been a favourite
meeting place for international opera lovers. This open-air stage in
beautiful Burgenland (65 km southeast of Vienna) provides a natural
forum for bringing together cultures, and people from East and
West. Set in the midst of a historic landscape, this venue will
transport you to a world of new, unique experiences.
By providing first-rate facilities for staging popular and top quality
opera productions, these festivals have succeeded in attracting
enthusiastic audiences as well as international opera stars and
musicians.
EUROPE’S LARGEST NATURAL STAGE
The St. Margarethen Quarry is Europe’s largest natural stage. This
natural open-air concert hall covers an area of 7.000 m 2 , which gives
it a wonderful acoustic and inspires feelings of awe. The natural and
man-made architecture of the quarry enhances the emotional
impact of the music on the nearly 5.000 opera-goers in the audience.
A PLACE WHERE NATURE CAN WORK ITS MAGIC
Embedded in the landscape of the Neusiedler Lake, this region is
an UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Landscape. It represents
“outstanding value to humanity”, with St. Margarethen providing a
fascinating insight into our geological past. 20-30 million of years ago,
this quarry was part of the seabed. The limestone rocks contain a wealth
of marine fossils. If you are lucky, you will find prehistoric mussels,
corals, sea urchins and coralline algae. The limestone from the quarry
was used to build the grandest buildings along the Ringstraße and to
renovate St Stephen´s Cathedral in Vienna. The colours and shapes of
the rocks appear to change, according to where the sun is shining.
EXPERIENCE THE QUARRY
The monumental quarry can also be visited out of festival season.
You can find further information on the guided tours on the website
www.esterhazy.at/de/steinbruchmargarethen or call +43 2682 63004-7600.
