Answer us, or we\u2019ll have your head!\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From the Sacramento Ballet to the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra, we\u2019ve had more than enough reason to make the brief sojourn to the Community Center Theater. This weekend, rather than taking in a Kings game or heading out to the bars, consider experiencing the Sacramento Opera. Giacomo Puccini\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Turandot<\/em>&nbsp;will be performed with a live orchestra. Composed in 1924, the opera includes \u201cNessun Dorma,\u201d the aria Aretha Franklin performed at the 1998 Grammy Awards. Though the production may not be on the scale of the one staged in Paris this summer\u2014with more than 35,000 people in attendance\u2014you\u2019ll be able to witness one of the genre\u2019s finest pieces. So, get a babysitter, enjoy dinner at an Italian restaurant and take in&nbsp;<em>Turandot<\/em>&nbsp;on a full stomach. It doesn\u2019t get much better than this. Showtimes are 8 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Sunday and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Tickets are $15-$115, and the Community Center is located at 1301 L Street.
