Maria Guleghina,Turandot, Valencia 2008

Cowgirl Turandot Guleghina



In Questa Reggia



The Riddle Scene



The happy finale

I could have never imagined Maria Guleghina in this role.

I won't comment though, I'll expect your comments regarding the Ukranian diva (and Marco Berti of course).

But I'll comment on the finale:

Turandot, dressed as a rosebud (you can even sense the scent if you're really close), holding hands with Calaf and jumping around, flees from Beijing to the greek islands to live avec son amour their eternal love while the others stay to wait for Placido who will sing in the closing ceremony of the Olympics with a chinese soldier-soprano.
