Category: Italian opera
66. Turandot (Giacomo Puccini)
Puccini's last opera: a dream-like work set in Ancient China about a frigid princess who beheads her suitors, a nameless prince, a masochistic slave-girl, and a deadly game of riddles.
65. Caterina Cornaro (Gaetano Donizetti)
Donizetti's version of Halévy's Reine de Chypre. It isn't as good.
