Turandot LIVE from Met
PostedNovember 8, 2009
Hypatia
from Lexington, MA
First rate cast, sets, orchestra ensemble and production with two major caveats:
1) Soprano Maria Guleghina {Turandot} was not in her best voice--she struggled in her low-middle range and pushed in her upper range. She has the instrument, but may have been suffering a cold or ragweed allergy.
2) Technical problems: Frequent picture static and loss of sound during many of the arias and dramatic moments really ruined the artistic flow as well as the dramatic development. Moreover, the movie audience audibly groaned and complained each time--further diminishing our ability to hear the opera.
