Asmik is a incredible!

I saw Asmik Grigorian sing the role in Palermo where they set the opera in the space age.....it was truly hideous staging except for her magnificent performance. This set is equally grotesque in a different way. I hate these modern avant-garde directors ruining the beauty by their art gallery staging. I want to see epic sets as well as hear the singers. Such a tragedy.

Turandot n’a rien qui doive faire “rêver”. Cette mise en scène, d’une rare profondeur psychologique, est aussi intelligente que sensible et cohérente.

Театр оперный должен не только радовать слух, заставлять переживать сюжет, но и давать определенные эмоции визуальные. В данном случае визуальные эмоции отрицательные, что накладывается и на восприятие всего остального действа. Очень жаль, что постановка вне времени, отсутствие соответствующих декораций и костюмов стали повсеместны в оперных театрах, лишая возможности погрузиться в определенную эпоху , связанную с сюжетом оперы. Этот спектакль именно такой и его не спасают даже знаменитые певцы.

More dramatic, less operatic. I don't know whether I am excited at it or I am enjoying it, though I am satisfied. This stage may be something similar to the New Bayreuth of 1950s.

I was amazing. The sets and costumes gave the sense of an oppressive regime, created by Turandot who was then trapped in it. Kaufmann's not the greatest actor, but I adore him. Grigorian was spectacular. And the score, just when you think it's getting a bit cacophonous you find tears pricking your eyes.

Both are very good. But they should not be dinging this opera.. it tears the throat out. Callas sang this role often in the beginning and she did not like it and hoped that it would not ruin her voice . That's a big red stop sign . As a matter of fact tell me one Puccini opera ( and God knows I love him) that is good for your voice .

@masonevans779

Funny you mention that… Puccini was slightly influenced by the second Vienense school, which Berg was part of. You can hear this influence during the first act of the opera with the use of atonality during the scene where all the spirits of the dead princes are trying to warn Calaf. Moreover, Turandot was premiered in 1924, around the same time as Wozzeck. With that being said, this is an edited version of the original Alfano ending (because Puccini died before finishing the score as I am sure you know) which is very theatrical compared to later Toscanini approved version.

@@masonevans779 I suppose when you are dead no one can stop some other hack from finishing your work. It just sounds weird and doesn't follow Puccini's music. You go from Nessun Dorma to this? Come on.

Kaufmann is a great singer in german repertoire but in italian operas is voice doesn't match similar results. Grigorian is not Turandot (Caballé too has sung Turandot and my comment at that time was the same) but is one of the few great singers . Let's hope she doesn't destroy her voice with wrong repertoire. Grigorian, in any case, much better than Kaufmann .

Terrible production,how could they modernize a beautiful opera like this,if it is not Jonas singing,it would be a flop,even Jonas looks like he is bewildered and asmik can sing but her acting is so so.I was thinking going to see it in June but coming from Canada would not be worth it.sorry I was waiting for Jonas as calaf but this production doesn’t suit him at all. 13:18

Bien Kauffman siempre tuvo problemas técnicos con su voz pero el público oyente no apreciaba esos errores que con el tiempo le traerían problemas con su voz y en esta ópera se le nota forzado y cansado y pierde la línea melódica de esta ópera y la soprano ni que hablar para esta obra la soprano tiene que tener un poco de fuerza y color de mezzosoprano pero hasta el coro se siente desgastado esta ópera bien conocida por su famosa aria Nessun Dorma es muy fuerte esta presentación no cubren buenos comentarios una puesta en escena que es una falta de respeto a los que aprecian el arte de la lírica mis respetos a sus comentarios esta es mi opinión pero no supera a la versión de Corelli y la Nilsson

What a hideous production. I love that Asmik is doing Butterfly but I think Turandot is not the right choice for her yet. She needs to protect her incredible gift. She is already adding heavier roles too soon IMHO. She is a great artist!!

Che regia orribile,ma perché?

Awful production😢 good singers ,not so good for Jonas this Calaf. ❤

Awful production and singers far from their fach. Pity Asmin has decided to sing Turandot. Not for her. Jonas is throaty, with that voce ingolata. Not good, sorry to say that. I love both singers, though.

Blödsinn!!

I like her, but he just bellows.

Pressed and strangled voice. Just a constant squeeze. If Jonas Kaufmann had made his debut in Turandot earlier, he would have been a wonderful Calaf. Now he is too old for this role because his voice no longer has the clarity and brilliance it once did. What a pity !

Here we go with the stupid sets and idiotic costumes. Poor Puccini. Total lack of respect. Apparently designing awful "modern" sets guarantees success. Shame on Vienna

It absolutely SUCKS that Asmik and Jonas didn’t sing the descant at the end for the broadcast. I saw them live on 22 December where they DID sing it (as verified by house recording), and I nearly fell out of my seat because it was so thrilling. Was monumentally bummed to watch the broadcast only for them to stop singing completely after her “Il suo nome è amore.” At least audio exists I guess. Jonas was in much better voice on 22 December than on 16 December when this was broadcast, apparently. Asmik is a triumph in this role. Her acting is incomparable to any Turandot I’ve ever seen. Glad there’s a video (even if it’s not perfect).

barely adequate for Liu.
