    I was at the hall. Probably the best produced voice I have heard in my life. Not only does it fill the house with ease, but remains musical at all times. A true singer. A true musician.

    Beautiful singing. Usually I find Turandot hard to listen to . The tessitura is so high and so demanding. She brought warmth and strength
  • Hab es 2x gesehen, es war sooo grossartig.Alle waren wunderbar, auch die Inszenierung🎉🎉🎉🎉

    This is the most beautiful Turandot, in presence & voice timbre, I’ve ever witnessed. She brings a new league, elegance and deep interpretation to this challenging piece!
  • I saw the whole opera on TV. I was so very impressed with everything, set, voices, the symbolism. Incredible

    I don't know how healthy this role is for the longevity of her voice, but Asmik Grigorian sounds great for me. At last fine Turandot.

    Brilliant way to save money in sets and costume for the grandest opera ever written... No wonder opera attendance is down...
  • @drpaulduplessis
    Richard Strauss famously wanted “the highest and loudest soprano” for Elektra; Puccini set no such requirements for Turandot. No lyric soprano could ever sustain the tessitura of the role, but Grigorian sounds more than capable, especially with the help of a sympathetic conductor and supporting cast.
  • @lukasmiller486
    That’s the most heavy handed symbolism I’ve ever seen for the reincarnation concept in the text of the aria.

    I've always thought Turandot should he sung in a beautiful, lyrical way. She proves it here. It's a different character, different opera really. What a revelation! Birgit Nilsson turned it into a Wagnerian ice princess. Great as it was, I this this warmer, more human approach just as valid, and more affecting. She has to work for it, but she doesn't blow it. She's right on the edge, giving everything she has, but not what she doesn't.
  • Asmik Grigorian,Sondra Radvanovsky y Saioa Hernández son las mejores Turandot actuales.

    The riddles are three but life is one.Tirandot wants to discourage the Prince because of the death of her ancestor.She even seems to have garded several bones of her.But Kalaf is obsessed with Turandot and will do anything to show his real love to her.I think it curious but at the same time beautiful.The maids that seem little souls around her serving her.The way they dispose the bones on top of her to relate her and her ancestor even more.I know there are people who hate this Turandot.But I think it makes all the sense.Specially for young new viewers...

    Oh I saw her in Salzburg as Angelica. Not enough tissues available for us all. Here we see a Turandot who is credible as a person not just a stand and deliver ice queen. She sounds very good. Kaufmann is no Franco Corelli that's for sure.

    The soprano wins over Kaufmann on the unizon high C

    Просто спела своим голосом,сколько есть
  • Sinceramente creo que Asmik es la cantante actriz de nuestros días. Todas sus presentaciones dejan siempre algo nuevo y fresco. Realmente es una artista lirica muy completa. Quizás en este rol se escuche su voz "forzada", pero mucho mejor que Netrebko o Radvanoksky, se mantiene en la línea de canto, y aunque su voz no es grande, logra sortear la exigencia de la partitura. Opaca totalmente a Kauffman que cada vez está peor, con su voz, sin ningún tipo de color, seca y sin emoción. Gracias.
