  • They all look rather Japanese than Chinese. Gwyneth Jonese looks more like the ghost of Cio-cio-san! I hate this sort of generic "oridental" productions. If they wanted to change things around, they could've had more fun with it the way Dorris Dorrie did in Berlin a few years ago.

  • I saw that production at the Berlin Staatsoper last year. I really liked it, especially the firs act, but what I didn't like was the use of the Berio ending. The music just doesn't work for me.

  • Great scene. Pity the sound is so low

  • Check your settings. It's pretty loud on mine.

  • How can a voice be too big for TURANDOT???

  • YES- we want the TOP C's!!!!!!! Please post the Figlio del Cielo bit!

    Gwyneth is BRILLIANT- vocally so strong and SO terrifying and bat-S*$% crazy (and I mean that in a good way!). LOVE it.

  • Yes, thank you MAry- this is the best part. . .PLEASE load the end of the scene

  • where is the end of this scene PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEE??????????????????­??????????????????????

  • She is terrific as Turandot. For me, the number one Turandot is Birgit Nilsson but here Gwyneth is as good as Nilsson and clearly inspired by Nilsson. She has the right type of dramatic and heavy voice for the part and commits to the character's powerful persona

  • Although this Turandot looks like the girl from The Ring

  • Turandot productions always base their costumes on Hanfu instead of manchurian Qipao, which makes me happy

  • I commend you, you must have very good ears, . I love sutherlnad voice too and Joan Sutherland and Birgit NIlsson are among the greatest to sing this role, however Gwenth Jones is pretty good too.

  • I agree, I like sutherland version too. I commend you, you have very good ears.

    Gwenth jones is ok at the role too.

  • Turandot IS creepy!!
