A new and long-awaited next complete opera from Andrea Bocelli. Here he takes on Puccini’s last opera and the role of Calaf, complete with its iconic aria ‘Nessun dorma’. Zubin Mehta, who conducted one of the greatest recordings of the opera ever made (Sutherland/Pavarotti/Caballé) returns to the podium in an opera he has made something of a speciality. Taking on the challenge of the icy Princess Turandot is the American Jennifer Wilson, fast becoming one of the major dramatic sopranos of our day, and Ana Marìa Martinez sings Liù.
A complete opera for Bocelli’s numerous fans, complete with the big tenor
aria!
Zubin Mehta has made something of speciality of the work from his classic Decca
set onwards.
Bocelli – as Calaf – gives a glorious rendition of the spell-binding “Nessun Dorma” (“None shall sleep”), perhaps the best-known and most-loved tenor aria in all opera of our time
