  • What is the soprano doing wandering around the stage during nessun dorma?? The question mark?????????????? And who was the inept person who made such a terrible video. All that being said, Carl Tanner sounds terrific in this aria.

  • haha it was my friend, he didn't want to get caught taping the opera. The question mark was a symbolic thing,like the 3 riddles were symbolized by 3 TV's with question marks. At this point Turandot had to guess Calaf's real name so it was symbolized by a large question mark in the middle of the stage. It was weird, but europeans love new age productions from what I hear.

  • How Dare you insult Semper Oper! Just kidding, I thought it was a little odd too! The Liu in the production sang like a black opera singer, which ticked me off even more:-( I think Puccini cried a little at that one. You are exactly right, to have a beautiful set would have been wonderful.... I think they may have had budget issues. Do you have video of Hamburg?

  • Carl Tanner is really a great Tenor! But Dresden should reconsider the poor staging, which does not embrace Turandot, Puccini, the artists and the opera as such a beautiful place itself. Hamburg's Calaf version (in means of costume) was much, much, much better! ;-)

  • Regietheatre can sometimes be effective in concentrating more on the voices and Tanner does sound wonderful here (hope he has a good, steady coach to help him preserve his voice) but often I find these productions do not work dramatically and give the impression that the main concerns was the budget and the bottom line.

  • stupidity!

  • too bad that is Turandot and not Liu...which makes it even worse.

  • Probably an idiotic director's idea to have a disapproving Liu in the scene. What stupidity!

  • La voce di questo tenore è molto vigorosa,ma la sua tecnica è quella del dilettante allo sbaraglio.

  • Great tenor!!!

  • I should say that he is far better in Calaf than Manrico. I just watched Il Trovatore in whole, and I am sorry to say that he was not as good in that role The famous Di quella pira...was disapponting for me.Among others.

  • Great voice!
