Act I
A crowd is assembled before the Imperial Palace in Peking.  A Mandarin announces Princess Turandot's fatal decree: the princess will only marry the man who succeeds in answering three riddles put before him; the punishment for failure is death.  The Prince of Persia, who has failed in the attempt, is to be beheaded at the rising of the moon.  The crowd ghoulishly anticipates the spectacle, calls out to the executioner, and tries to force its way into the palace.  Two people are nearly overrun by the crowd:  Timur, the aged, deposed & exiled Tartar King, and Liù, his gentle and faithful slave-girl companion.  When Liù calls for help, a young man comes forward to offer assistance.  It is Prince Calaf, also a fugitive in exile and Timur's son.  They recognize each other and are reunited.  Calaf gratefully asks Liù the reason for her sacrifice to accompany the aging ruler and she shyly tells him that one day the Prince had smiled at her and since that day her life has been devoted to him. The crowd impatiently awaits the rising of the moon.  As the Prince of Persia is led through the crowd, their thirst for blood turns to pity and they call on Turandot to spare him.  Calaf curses the Princess for her cruelty, but when she appears in the moonlight he cannot help himself and rapturously expresses his wonder.  With an imperious gesture, Turandot orders the execution to proceed. Calaf is overwhelmed by her beauty. Timur and Liù vainly warn him of the danger of such an infatuation.  Calaf pays no heed and approaches the gong to announce his intention to be put to the test.  Three Imperial Ministers (Ping, Pang and Pong) appear and attempt to dissuade him.  Calaf does not yield even when the executioner reappears brandishing the Prince of Persia's head.  He rushes to the gong, striking three fatal blows and simultaneously calling out Turandot's name.  ...
