5/15/22 Turandot HD Live at the Bardavon
by BarbaraJ on 5/18/22Bardavon 1869 Opera House - PoughkeepsieGiacometti Puccini’s music is enthralling, Franco Zeffirelli’s sets were elaborate & the Anna Anni’s& Dada Saligeri’s Costume designs were stunning. Calaf/ Yonghoon Lee & Ermonela Jaho’s voices resonated so beautifully; Liudmyla Monastyrska acted so believably as the vengeful & heinous Turandot, her operatic voice seemed a bit harsh to me, however. I forgave her in the end. Love, love loved the production all in all. Sorry to see the theater so empty that day. Someday, I’ll be seated at the Met in the balcony for a real live performance of Turandot. Thank you.
