It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: turandot - recommendations needed

We have three versions of this on LD & DVD -

* San Francisco production with Eva Marton - "The Gramophone" sums it up as "little point in loooking for visual subtlety or listening to vocal allure: a brash and thoroughly charmless Turandot"

* the ArenadiVerona production which I like

* the DVD Mehtna Forbidden City of Beijing production which has only arrived recently so I've not seen yet. It cost a mint to make and is visually spectacular but I reserve opinion on the singing until I've seen it all through.

I urge you to look for a video production. It is a thrilling opera.
