Bravo Opera de Montréal for a brilliant staging of #Turandot with our new ending. Brilliant performances by Maida Hundeling and Andrea Shin, with Paolo Arrivabeni conducting the Orchestre Metropolitain and Chœur de l’Opéra de Montréal. Incroyable!

This has been an absolute DREAM project--probably the most creatively invigorating and freeing thing I've ever done (and right on the heels of my #Turandot completion too!). I'm so in my happy place right now. #opera #composer 3/3

And for those who are wondering, yes, she plays drums (in addition to piano), and yes, she rocks out to *non-simplified* transcriptions of 'Here Comes the Sun' and 'Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and my Monkey'. Yeah, proud papa here. ❤️

Those who work with me know that I'm a *huge* fan of the notation software #Dorico, and that I'm constantly singing its praises. Well apparently the news got to Steinberg because they've invited me to join their artist endorsement roster. #composer

WNO is a terrific opera company with a visionary director that champions new talent in the opera world. They've recently left their home at The Kennedy Center and are in a transitional phase, so #SupportWNO... and who knows? Maybe you'll see another opera of mine there sometime soon. ;)

That led to a premiere at the Kennedy Center, which then led to a deep, year-long collaboration with some figure skating royalty: Lori Nichol and Carolina Kostner.

Christopher Tin @christophertin.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

It all started with a commission from Washington National Opera! Terrific article in the Washington Post about Yuma Kagiyama's free skate music, and how it all started when Francesca Zambello asked Susan Soon He Stanton and me to write a new ending to Turandot. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/olymp...

Japan’s Yuma Kagiyama, rival to Ilia Malinin, will perform his free skate to an arrangement of “Turandot” that was originally commissioned by the WNO.

Giacomo Puccini's final opera was left unfinished at the time of his death in 1924, and over the last century a handful of composers have received commissions to compose an ending to it. Christopher Tin's finale to Turandot was commissioned by Washington National Opera, and debuted...

Ciao da Milano! First on the agenda: my pilgrimage to La Scala, legendary opera house where Turandot was first premiered 100 years ago. Considered seeing a performance, but didn't think my 7 year-old would be willing to sit through Götterdämmerung. 🤣
