Abstract: <正>Chinese composer writes a new score for the last 18 minutes of Puccini\'s Turandot It has long been the wishes of many clas- sical opera fans and sopranos alike that the heroine of Italian composer Giacomo Puccini\'s classic Turandot,Princess Turandot,had her own aria.And now that wish has just come true.In the new edi- tion of the opera presented by the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) of China in March,the princess sang a beauti- ful and moving aria,named The First Tears, transforming herself in the process from a cold-hearted woman with infinite power into an ordinary girl falling in love with Prince Calaf,the hero of the opera.
