“Turandot is visibly stirred by Liù’s self-sacrifice and she caresses her dead body. Just after Calaf kisses her, she takes her headdress off and comes out as a gay woman. In the final seconds of the opera, she kills herself with Liù’s knife, and Calaf is left alone.” [Bachtrack; see also Bury Your Gays]
