Description: |
Metropolitan Opera Live In HD Music Performance: Turandot at Staller Center in Stony Brook, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.
Two of opera's most thrilling dramatic sopranos, Christine Goerke and Nina Stemme, reprise their fierce portrayals of the title princess. Yannick Nezet-Seguin takes the podium to conduct Franco Zeffirelli's dazzling production of Puccini's final masterpiece, which also features tenors Roberto Aronica and Marco Berti as Calaf, sopranos Eleonora Buratto and Hibla Gerzmava as Liu, and bass-baritones James Morris and Nicolas Teste as Timur.
World premiere: Teatro alla Scala, Milan, 1926. Puccini’s final opera is an epic fairy tale set in a China of legend, loosely based on a play by 18th-century Italian dramatist Carlo Gozzi. Featuring a most unusual score with an astounding and innovative use of chorus and orchestra, it is still recognizably Puccini, bursting with instantly appealing melody. The unenviable task of completing the opera’s final scene upon Puccini's sudden death was left to the composer Franco Alfano. Conductor Arturo Toscanini oversaw Alfano’s contribution and led the world premiere. Runtime aproximately 3:22. |
