This DVD captures the original Franco Zeffirelli production of Giacomo Puccini's Turandot recorded April 4, 1987 at the Metropolitan Opera featuring Eva Marton in the title role of the icy princess Turandot and Placido Domingo as the foreign prince willing to risk his life in order to marry her. This legendary recording includes a 5.1 audio track and is a must-have for any opera recording collection.

The very first opera I ever heard in a live concert was a concert version (no costumes or scenery) while I was a Queens College (NY) undergraduate. It thrilled me. I've since gone to a live full-scale performance in St. Petersburg, FL. This DVD, set on the much larger stage than in Florida, is extremely satisfying, especially seen on a 46 inch television screen.

Wanted to see this opera after it had been part of the story line in the Mission Impossible movie starring Tom Cruise. I enjoyed it very much.
