Turandot

Giacomo Puccini (1858–1924)


DESCRIPTION

In the title role of Turandot, Elinor Ross is heard in exemplary voice, bringing commanding presence, a pristine soprano, and vocal fearlessness to Puccini’s formidable heroine. Her performance meets the role’s exceptional demands with assurance and authority, conveying both the character’s imperious nature.

Richard Tucker did not sing Calaf frequently during his career, which makes this performance all the more valuable. He brings an ideal combination of vocal resources and authentically Italianate temperament to the role, shaping the music with both power and lyrical warmth.
