Since the 1990 Football World Cup, when Luciano Pavarotti<\/a> made ‘Nessun Dorma’ the aria that millions of sports fans were singing around the world, Puccini<\/a>\u2019s final opera\u00a0Turandot<\/em> has become arguably his most popular. <\/strong>That accolade is especially impressive given that his catalogue also includes all-time-favourites\u00a0La Boh\u00e8me<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Madama Butterfly<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. It\u2019s all the more so when you consider that\u00a0Turandot<\/em>\u00a0has one huge challenge: it has no ending.<\/p>
