An Unknown Prince (revealed at the end to be named Calaf) finally arrives and passes her tests, though Turandot still tries to escape any marriage until she is persuaded by Calaf through a test of his own and a tragic death. Regrettably, Puccini passed away (1924) from a heart attack before he could complete the opera, having finished entirely the first and second acts, and most of the third, including the extremely well-known aria by Calaf, \"Nessun Dorma.\"  Following his death, Franco Alfano was asked by Puccini's publisher and family to complete the opera, as one of his recent works resembled \u003ci\u003eTurandot\u003c\/i\u003e in its setting and heavy orchestration. Franco Alfano's first attempt (Alfano I) was rejected by Puccini's publisher and conductor Arturo Toscanini, as he took some liberties with the libretto and added a few musical passages of his own.
