  • What was Puccini thinking when he wrote this role?! "I think I'll write a role that's impossible for any soprano to sing without ruining her voice (minus Nilsson). Oh...I'll just make her sing crazy high over a full orchestra..."

  • She must stay with Nabucco (I think that's what she does the best). Turandot is too heavy and too difficult for her voice execution level. Turandot requires much more than what we see here. Out of pitch (too flat), no climax and forced sustain.

  • @acxeros really? who sang there?

  • quest'orco lo fanno ancora cantare..?!

  • @borgru2197 I'd agree with that!! Abigaille is her best, but she was also great as lady Macbeth and Leonora/Trovatore (speaking in 2001, when have heard her life in those roles....). A very good Turandot is Giovanna Cassola, often singing in Arena di Verona.

  • flat flat flat flat flat.......

  • she sings beautifully. My favorite Turandot will always be Birgit Nilsson but this soprano is great too.

  • @happyactor6 ~ I disaggree. Certainly Turandot is a very heavy role but it's brief compared to Norma by Bellini, which many great sopranos call the most challenging role for any soprano due to it's difficulties plus the length and number of participacions on stage. The problem with Turandot is that sopranos try to live up to Birgit Nilsson who was a strong Wagnerian soprano. The role is short and intense and it is up to the sing to learn to pace herself.

  • Yeah... I just saw this in Portland, Oregon and the soprano in the role of Turandot was much better than this.

  • @GloriaJanvier

    n o your are not alone. She is painful

  • saw the HD broadcast of this last year, she was appallingly bad, far more out of tune than this even, never DID get a pitch right practically the whole afternoon?

  • @TerrancePogue *lol* A tad?
