Customer Reviews of Puccini - Turandot / Gergiev, Schnaut, Tear, Vienna State Opera
Highly theatrical and creative vision A Turandot that will not please everyone, but one that is striking in a fresh interpretation, namely the de-humanization of society. Even Turandot does not seem human, which could be a way of understanding her actions. The staging and costumes are stunningly evocative of SF visions of the future. A lot of thought went into this production, and every time I view it I perceive more ideas. The music from Act I is among Puccini's most arresting and dramatic. The added music and staging finishing what Puccini did not complete make sense, and deal with our ambivalence (even anger) with the anti-heroine. The resolution even humanizes the other citizens of this mechinistic, oppressive society.
Just awful
This is just terrible opera. Turandot is a great score and a great opera but these singers are awful! Schnaut and Gallardo-Domas sound absolutely like amateurs, they are terrible. Botha is totally forgettable. Save your money! Go out to eat instead of buying this garbage!
No-go area!
Was very disappointed with this DVD after watching it and I warn people who even think of investing in it.
Shnaut is not even a competent Turandot, missing high notes and not even singing some!
The ending is not even worth the price of this DVD, give it a miss
