Turandot was my reception into Opera at the Sydney Opera House in 1998/1999. I had been (and still am) a lover of contemporary forms of music, and had shunned my mother's attempts to open my ears to opera. Turandot was the perfect opera for me at the time (I've expanded my horizons now !) because of the fantastic ensembles, the choral effect of the music, the exotic nature of the score, the beautiful arias.Nothing about this production failed my expectations. It is a lavish production, and Guleghina impressed me both in her command of the Princess's part, and also her total lack of pretension when interviewed prior to the third act. At last, a princess to admire and she radiates with a beauty which hasn't been seen for quite a while in the part. It was the first time I didn't see the Princess has utterly despicable, but rather as a traumatised victim of history who is fiercely guarding her last vestige of dignity. Guleghina can take credit for that.Poplavskaya is perfect as Liu. Her acting and singing are superb, wringing every last ounce of sympathy from her part. Giordano is pretty good I thought, and I feel sorry for him that he has to be compared with Domingo, Pavarotti and Co. His acting is passable.The orchestra are fantastic and the Blu-Ray is superb on my 55".Indispensable in my view. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spectacular production *by W***P on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 22, 2014* This Blu-ray was the only Met Zefferelli version blu-ray available so I purchased it. Having owned the old vhs version for years featuring Eva Marton, I was very familiar with this production. The dvd is a pared down version of the HD theatrical live performance from two years ago and has some nice backstage touches…although not on the level of the live theatrical experience.My biggest problem was with Maria Guleghina as Turnadot. And it's nothing against her personally. She has a fine voice, etc. However, she is NOT Eva Marton in her characterization. Eva Marton was able to convey miracles with her hands… in fact, her "hand acting" was as good as any other feature. Guleghina appeared rather clumsy and almost dowdy in the role, compared the the diva Marton. So.. given the two versions available, I"d opt for the Marton one despite its technical deficiencies. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Majestic in Every Way! *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 12, 2016* This is an incredibly big, beautiful, and majestic production, carefully choreographed with gorgeous sets and costumes, with a huge chorus and plenty of extras. The camera work and direction was awesome. All lead performances were outstanding, and the voices need to be heard to be believed. Everything was extremely well done and recorded, and I was very moved with all of it. I loved the interviews with the leads before the second act, and it made me appreciate the remainder of the opera after being introduced the down to earth "stars" of the production who were very likable and "real". This is going in my special collection of favorite opera recordings that I will watch time and time again. I highly, highly recommend this to anyone who is an opera lover, and appreciates all the fine artistry of a fantastic theater and/or opera production that transforms it into an extraordinary viewing and listening experience! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/6617118-puccini-turandot-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/6617118-puccini-turandot-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
