Puccini: Turandot
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 January 2017Verified Purchase
This is a very fine production from that director of spectacle and splendour: the famed Franco Zeffirelli. The lead singers are magnificent both showing they are up to the considerable challenges. Placido Domingo's smooth yet powerful voice is compelling throughout. Not only did Eva Marton (as Turandot) cope well with the demanding vocals but her high acting standard provided double the delight . I would also highlight the considerable contribution provided by Leona Mitchell (as Liu) who gave her fine voice the plaintive quality required. The big highlight, of course, is 'Nessun Dorma' and Domingo's marvellous rendition greatly impressed.

Best Turandot on DVD!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 2013Verified Purchase
Puccini's Turandot is one of my favourite operas, but rarely I find a dazzling production with excellent performers. This performance is one of them. Firstly, Zeffirelli's production is the best production ever made for Turandot, with awesome settings and costumes by any aspect. Secondly, the performers are amazing; Eva Marton is the best Turandot I have ever seen and heard (both on CD and DVD) and Placido Domingo is a great Calaf. Leona Mitchell is a wonderful Liu -because of her magical singing and acting . The Metropolitan Chorus sings with so much intensity and passion the choruses and James Levine conducts so good! So, if you're an Opera fan this is an essential you musn't miss!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2012Verified Purchase
I just can't fault this. Really really good, I love it. The production from Deutsche Gramaphone is brilliant, the voices are very how do you say, come from the depths, and if you are into loud music, well, this is your DVD. All I can say is Buy It!!! and Amazon is very good at getting goods to you, just make sure that they have the European No 2 Region or you won't be able to play it. Mine waqs No 1, but I have a No 1 PC so I backed it up to an MP4 thanks to E-Z software, Enjoy

Wow factor
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 January 2011Verified Purchase
Bought this because it had 5 star reviews and they are usually very accurate --This had WOW factor ! Liu was quite exceptionally good as of course was Placido Domingo ( I never expect anything else from him) but the surprise for me was Eva Marton.She has a big voice which is not always comfortable to hear,but her acting ability was remarkably good and she subtly managed to put humanity into a difficult role,showing cruelty , confusion and eventually understanding and love- very impressive.The production is lovely with extravagant costumes which I loved.I shall take pleasure in seeing this again and again.

Beautiful, just beautiful. The costumes were terrific, the singing as you would expect from such names. Lead stars so believable. I just loved it. Sometimes the picture could have been a bit sharper, but that's a minor detail. As for the seller, only praise, ordered on the 22nd Aug, arrived on the 24th well packaged and shrink wrapped.
