Der große Mann im Fettanzug dominiert die Show und gibt dem Falstaff der Ungarischen Staatsoper Elan und Lebensfreude.

Glänzende Turandot an der Ungarischen Staatsoper

Jenny Camilleri, 30th January

Aufregend dirigiert und überwiegend gut gesungen sollte diese üppige aber schnörkellose Turandot sowohl Traditionalisten und abenteuerlustige Operngänger erfreuen.
