Puccini: Turandot

Internationally acclaimed Chinese film-maker Chen Kaige delivers an opulent staging of the fairy-tale story of Chinese Princess Turandot, who will only marry a prince capable of solving her riddles. With sumptuous costumes and palace sets designed in China, Kaige"'s production adds a compellingly authentic accent to Puccini"'s exotic orchestral palette. Zubin Mehta and his brilliant Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana offer ""genuine fireworks of sound"". Maria Guleghina triumphs as Turandot.
