Royal Opera House: Turandot (2013) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2013, Royal Opera House: Turandot is a musique film directed by Andrew Sinclair, running about 125 minutes.

What it’s about. 2013 revival of Andrei Serban's 1984 production. Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, September 2013. Andrei Serban's spectacular and thrilling 1984 production of Puccini's final and grandest opera has long been a classic at the Royal Opera House. First filmed for BBC TV in the 80s, this new recording – of its fifteenth revival – is in stunning HD and makes this famous production available for the first time on DVD and Blu-ray. The release will rightfully take its place alongside the outstanding Royal Opera Puccini DVDs of La Bohème, Tosca (on EMI) and Trittico. American Lise Lindstrom is one of the very few contemporary Turandots who can genuinely sing this ‘killer’ role, and is supported by a touching Liù from Japanese soprano Eri Nakamura and an unashamedly Italianite Calaf from Marco Berti. The young Hungarian conductor Henrik Nánási directs the large orchestra and all-important chorus.

Who’s in it. Royal Opera House: Turandot stars Lise Lindstrom as Princess Turandot, Eri Nakamura as Liù, Marco Berti as Prince Calaf and Dionysis Sourbis as Ping, among others.
