The man who took Turandot to China
mainThe accomplished Italian opera director Paolo Trevisi, head of the Arena di Verona from 1975 to 1982, has died of lung cancer at the age of 74 in his home town, Treviso.
In 1989 he took a huge initiative in the cultural thaw by creating Puccini’s Chinese opera in Beijing.
Away from Verona, Paolo was technical director of Lisbon’s São Carlos theatre and of the international music festival in Macau.
