Summary
Opera Holland Park celebrates its 30th anniversary with a concert staging of Puccini's Turandot, the only one of the composer's works that had previously eluded the company. Conductor Naomi Woo stylishly led the performance, with Tony Burke's orchestral reduction effectively capturing the sonic grandeur of Puccini's colossal score. José de Eça's Calaf headed a strong cast in this centenary year production.
