A young "Persian is about to be executed when the unidentified Prince Calaf comes into the square and recognises in the crowd his father, an exiled Tartar King. Timur, the father, has been attended in his wanderings by a servant girl named Liu, because she once fell in love with his son, Calaf. The three wanderers, now reunited, witness the exécution of the young Persian. Nothing daunted, Calaf, who is overcome by Turandot’s beauty, shouts that he will try to answer the three questions, and to the dismay of the Princess does so Successfully. She then wishes to go back on her bargain, but her father, -The Emperor, insists that she marry Calaf, Calaf relents, and tells her that he will not insist upon this marriage if she "can learn his identity before dawn. Overjoyed, Turandot gives an order that everyone must spend the night learning his name, and anyone found sleeping will be executed.
