Christopher Tin, Lori Nichol, and Carolina Kostner in Conversation

Christopher Tin (composer), Lori Nichol (choreographer), and Carolina Kostner (coach) discuss their collaboration on Yuma Kagiyama's free skate music for the Winter Olympics 2026 Milano Cortina, a special edit of the 'Turandot: Christopher Tin Finale'. Filmed at Abbey Road Studios. Giacomo Puccini's final opera was left unfinished at the time of his death in 1924, and over the last century a handful of composers have received commissions to compose an ending to it. Christopher Tin's finale to Turandot was commissioned by Washington National Opera, and debuted at the Kennedy Center in May 2024. Directed by Francesca Zambello, with a libretto by Susan Soon He Stanton. The recording features Christine Goerke, Clay Hilley, the English National Opera Chorus, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Christopher Tin.
