Puccini’s Turandot. Nessun Dorma. The most performed opera in the world and almost nobody knows the princess at its heart was from Persia, not Chinese, her story written by Nezami and living in the pages of the Book of One Thousand and One Nights and the Shahnameh centuries before Europe ever touched it. This Women’s Day, remember the women history renamed. The women it relocated. The women whose stories it loved but whose names it erased. #WomensDay #Turandot #Puccini #History #Persian
