The second act of Turandot is worth the price of admission even without a soaring aria. Franco Zefferelli has created a fantasy world that is lush, brilliant, colorful, fun, huge, glorious. The costumes are magnificent and the dancing is lovely. "Turandot" is a silly story but so are many operas and ballets. It doesn't matter. The singing is wonderful by both principals and chorus. The finale with the chorus singing "Nessun Dorma" rises to the heights. There's something magical about seeing an opera at the Met and this is the next best thing. I'd recommend you try it.
