Turandot, Puccini / Vinogradov / Merritt / Vas, Blu-Ray

Video artist Franc Aleu, who belongs to the artists' group La Fura dels Baus, sets the exciting Puccini opera Turandot into the future. With projection mapping and 3D technology in the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the play about the cruel princess is shown in a spectacular, visually striking new way. The great vocal cast including Irene Theorin, "a powerful-voiced Turandot, Jorge de Leon, a sovereign Calaf and Soprano Ermonela Jaho, who sings a touching Liu" (Das Opernmagazin) is leaded by conductor Josep Pons "in great form" (forumopera. Com).
