- Abstract
Puccini was the “last Italian opera master” in the field of opera creation in the Romantic period, and he constantly tried to incorporate exotic elements into his operatic creation, in which the opera “Turandot” used a lot of traditional Chinese cultural elements, so the study of the exoticism contained in the opera “Turandot” is of great significance for the dissemination of the East and West cultures in the world and the use of “localization”. In “Turandot”, traditional Chinese culture is reflected in the text, melody and costumes. Through the portrayal and representation of the Other, Puccini demonstrates the conflict and fusion between different cultures and identities.
