Abstract
The article highlights implicit mystic meanings of Puccini’s opera «Turandot» revealed by C. Rubaud’s and I. Partiot-Pieri’s performance symbolism. It also reflects esoteric connotations of Gozzi’s play and its interpretation by Puccini. The paper identifies links of «Turandot» to Turanian traditions rather than Chinese ones.
