Turandot poster

Released in 2002, Turandot is a music film, running about 125 minutes.

What it’s about. This movie was recorded during the 2002 Salzburg Festival. Valery Gergiev provides a quite good performance, as he uses to do, and the stage presents very brilliant moments, for example, the impressive image of Turandot, especially when filmed from the bottom of the scene by the expert Brian Large. Cristina Gallardo Domas as Liu clearly outcomes in this cast although I cannot help mentioning my favourite Liu, Monserrat Caballé. She did set a so high standard for this role that further performances slightly get to approach her. Good Calaf and Turandot and perhaps a not very remarkable Ping, Pang, Pong trio.

Who’s in it. Turandot stars Gabriele Schnaut as Turandot, Robert Tear as Altoum, Paata Burchuladze as Timur and Johan Botha as Calaf, among others.
