Turandot was to be Puccini’s last opera. In fact, it was unfinished at the time of his death in 1924. The final 20 minutes were posthumously completed by Franco Alfano using Puccini’s notes. The opera concerns an unknown Prince (Calaf,) who falls in love with the cold and distant Princess Turandot. His aria Nessun Dorma occurs at the start of Act III. Calaf has challenged Turandot to discover his name by dawn, so she has decreed that this night “none shall sleep” until she knows his name. Calaf takes up this motif in this aria, which has become one of the best-known arias in the operatic repertoire. It perhaps encapsulates Puccini’s style, being both dramatic and heroic, while retaining the quality of morbidezza which is so characteristic of the composer. A native of India, Athenaeum member Anando Mukerjee is a leading international tenor. He received degrees in Natural Sciences from both Delhi and Cambridge Universities and pursued his vocal studies with such teachers as Kenneth Woollam, Richard Nunn, Enrico Fissore, Ian Comboy and Glyn Paul. The highlight of his vocal training was seven years of discipleship under Nicolai Gedda. Anando was a finalist in the UK National Mozart Competition in 2007 and the Wagner Society Bayreuth Bursary Competition in 2012. His operatic repertoire includes Rodolfo (La bohème), Macduff (Macbeth,) Nemorino (L’elisir d’amore,) Alfredo (La Traviata.) and The Duke of Mantua (Rigoletto.) Here at the Athenaeum, he thrilled us with his Cavaradossi in our production of Tosca 2 years ago. His recitals include his Wigmore Hall appearance accompanied by Leslie Howard and featured on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune; the Maria Callas International Club’s 30th Anniversary Celebration at the Royal Opera House; and a lieder programme performed with the pianist Babette Hierholzer at the Allensbach Festival, Germany. Anando gave the orchestral world premiere of Ian Venables’ Venetian Songs accompanied by the Orchestra of St. John Bromsgrove. He has also been featured by the BBC World Service and All India Radio. In oratorio Anando’s repertoire includes Handel, Bach, Mendelssohn, Rossini, Gounod, Verdi and Puccini. In addition to his performance in Tosca, Anando is a regular contributor to the Athenaeum’s annual St Cecilia’s Day Concert. David Thomas
