Turandot — Leopoldo Metlicovitz, 1926
Leopoldo Metlicovitz · Ricordi opera poster, Turandot premiere, 1926
What it is
Metlicovitz’s poster for Puccini’s posthumously premiered Turandot, published by Ricordi.
Why it matters
The same house, the same designer’s hand, bookending the wing’s Puccini story a generation after Madama Butterfly.
What to notice
A colder, more geometric palette than the earlier Ricordi posters — opera advertising catching up to the 1920s.
The last opera, announced by the oldest house.
