About
Video artist Franc Aleu, who belongs to the artists' group La Fura dels Baus, sets the exciting Puccini opera Turandot into the future. With projection mapping and 3D technology in the Gran Teatre del Liceu, the play about the cruel princess is shown in a spectacular, visually striking new way. The great vocal cast including Irene Theorin, "a powerful-voiced Turandot, Jorge de Leon, a sovereign Calaf and Soprano Ermonela Jaho, who sings a touching Liu“ (Das Opernmagazin) is leaded by conductor Josep Pons "in great form“ (forumopera.com).

Jaho is a remarkable actress and her singing is exquisite here, refining her high notes down to a whisper...The rest of the cast are under-directed but their vocal performances are strong. Iréne Theorin has power aplenty in the title-role, a soprano that can slice through the heavy textures of Alfano’s ending with room to spare.
