Sarah Brightman
《圖蘭多特》， 三幕歌劇， 普契尼作於1924年（未完成）。這是普契尼最後一部歌劇，在完成他計劃作為該劇高潮的二重唱之前，癌症奪去了他的生命。這部作品最後一場由阿爾法諾於1926年替代完成。這部作品的腳本，由阿達米和西莫尼根據意大利劇作家戈濟的同名戲劇撰寫。
其劇情描述美麗的中國公主圖蘭多特宣布：有三個謎語，能猜中的就可以招為女婿，猜不中就要殺頭。結果糾集各國的王子，波斯王子因為沒猜中，遭殺頭的命運；韃靼王子卡拉夫喬裝打扮，卻猜破了謎語。圖蘭多特因不知卡拉夫身份，不願履行諾言。結果卡拉夫與圖蘭多特立約，要她在第二天猜出他真實姓名，不然，就要執行諾言。圖蘭多特找卡拉夫女仆探聽，女仆守秘而自殺。最終，還是卡拉夫自己說明了身份，使圖蘭多特肅然起敬，甘願委身於他。
劇中最著名的唱段是卡拉夫的詠歎調《今夜無人入睡》，是卡拉夫在要求圖蘭多特猜其身份的那一夜所唱。
