"Melodies for millions, impressively staged" - the Bregenz Festival creates a fabulous open-air event from Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot on the world's largest lake stage and thus brings "a little bit of Hollywood to Bregenz" (ZDF today).

Great stage shows in front of the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Constance are a matter of course on the world's largest lake stage. But "one has rarely seen such a spectacle, even in Bregenz," according to the Stuttgarter Zeitung. Celebrating its 70th anniversary, the 'Festival of the Year' (Opera Awards) presents a stunning new production of Puccini's last opera Turandot, complete with pyrotechnics, stunts, acrobats, kites and a 72-metre-long Great Wall of China that proudly rises 27 meters above the water rises and dominates the stage. But "opera at its best has always been a spectacle with sense. And nowhere is this combination of seriousness and show more open than at the Bregenz Festival," according to the New York Times.

Director and set designer Marco Arturo Marelli impressively presents the story of the cold-hearted Chinese princess Turandot as a finely polished parable about pathos, love and cruelty. As the orchestra strikes the opening bars fortissimo, Marelli pulls off "the most spectacular stage coup," according to the Münchner Abendzeitung, as the Great Wall of China collapses amid a deafening riot, revealing an army of Terracotta Warriors. These soldiers then witness what is probably the most famous aria in the entire history of opera, "Nessun dorma", which Riccardo Massi performs "excitingly" as Calaf "reminiscent of Pavarotti" (Nürnberger Nachrichten). He will be accompanied by the Wiener Symphoniker under the musical direction of Paolo Carignani. Mlada Khudoley is the heartless princess Turandot and Operalia prizewinner Guanqun Yu is the loving and devoted slave Liù. The "magnetism of singing and orchestral sound" (Der Tagesspiegel) only exerts its full attraction on us in the battle of the sexes between Turandot and Calaf, in which ultimately love between these two triumphs.
