Featured review
wonderful production, spectacular sets and costuming
Turandot is my favorite Puccini opera. I was thrilled to be able to see it in my theater live in HD. The Zeferelli sets are spectacular. The costuming is intricate, beautiful and varied. The chorus is super. The choreography is beautiful and fits perfectly with the setting. Anita Hartig was perfect as Liu. Her voice is strong, yet she projects the delicacy, sweetness and innocence that the part requires to make it work, both as a contrast to Turandot and to express the beauty and feeling/intent of the music. Ping, Pang and Pong were perfect. You could tell they enjoyed their parts, took them very seriously, and worked well together. They were a delight. Nina Stemme did a wonderful job with her part. Her voice is incredible. She projected the strength and conviction of the princess, yet communicated the change in her attitude successfully. Berti was terrible. He is one of those shrieking tenors I hate listening to. Unfortunately for the live in HD performance, he was really off that day. He seemed like he didn't want to be there, there was no feeling in his music, and he was flat on many of the notes. Nina Stemme was able to give a better performance in the production that was broadcast on TV later this year because Berti did his part much better and in a way that she could respond to. I have every intention of buying this production when it becomes available.
