Lori Nichol, Carolina Kostner and Christopher Tin discuss Yuma Kagiyama's 'Turandot' Free Skate

I had a chance to sit down with Lori Nichol (choreographer) and Carolina Kostner (coach) after the recording sessions at Abbey Road, for a casual conversation about our collaboration on Yuma Kagiyama's free skate routine for the 2025-2026 season. Check out the full video! https://youtu.be/lB9yF2HdxHY 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.
