Santa Monica, LA Music Center’s Spotlight Award winner
Golda Zahra is excited to announce her upcoming
performance as part of the Pacific Music Festival’s Puccini 100th
celebration.
Golda will debut the role of Liu in Turandot
alongside a world-class ensemble of 200 performers, including The
Opera Choir of Los Angeles, The Dream Orchestra led by renowned
conductor Maestro Daniel Suk, and a delegation of singers from the
Han China Opera Conservatory of Music, headed by Chinese opera star
and soprano, Yanwen Han. The group is traveling from China for the
concert.
Turandot is Giacomo Puccini’s final operatic masterpiece, made
famous by the aria “Nessun Dorma” performed by legendary tenors
like Luciano Pavorotti. Set in China, the opera follows Prince
Calaf and his quest to win Princess Turandot’s hand in marriage. To
do so, he must solve three riddles. A wrong answer results in
certain death.

magical evening with Operatic artists from all over the world, and
it’s truly a full-circle experience.”
