Title: Most Spectacular Production
Review: I have just seen "Turandot", in it's biggest production. Set in Beijing, it is certainly the best achievement yet produced in DVD's Operas. Thousands of people involved, for sure one will be entertained by all the magic of the settings, the costumes, the performance, the music - it is hard not to be amused by Puccini music, as long as one appreciates Opera. The sole remark is on the music itself, not sung with all that brilliance. But you can always listen to the CD, also included in the DVD, which has a much better sound quality. Whoever has ever heard or seen "Turandot", and likes it (which is another story) must see this DVD. Better thinking, I would recommend it even to those simply interested in big opera productions, or DVD "state of the art" technology.
