What is the 'Turandot: Christopher Tin Finale'?

What is the 'Turandot: Christopher Tin Finale'? 'Turandot' is Giacomo Puccini's final opera, but he died before he could figure out how to finish it. Over the last century, a handful of composers have been commissioned to try completing the opera. I was only the fourth to be given this task, when Washington National Opera commissioned me and librettist Susan Soon He Stanton for a new ending. My recording of my ending comes out February 6, 2026, featuring an all-star cast of Christine Goerke, Clay Hilley, the English National Opera Chorus, and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and recorded at Abbey Road. Give it a listen, and hear how I tackled one of the most intimidating gigs in all of opera: filling Giacomo Puccini's shoes.
