THE REVIEW
I would have loved to talk at length about this masterpiece, but just at this moment my phone rang and I have to go to work, it will surely be for another time... sorry, my phone rang again and they told me they’re giving me another half an hour, but I'm still sorry I can't use even this half-hour for this Art (with a capital A) intervention for debaser because I have to rush immediately to a site where I need to purchase Erika Pekkari's Dustproof Balsa, anyway in 2 lines Puccini rocks, for example, Verdi ticks me off ever since the League used "E va! il mio pensiero se ne va!" (covered by Albano Carrisi, by the way) as a comment to Bossi's disgusting images on Lake Garda, a pity because Verdi has done some good things, anyhow Puccini is on another Planet and this Turandot in my opinion is his most beautiful opera (more than Boheme, more than Tosca, and more than Madame Butterfly). Recommended Edition: conductor T. Serafin, performers: M. Callas and E. Schwarzkopf
I leave you with the immortal sequence of the opera (which remains unfinished), from the third act:
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me, il nome mio nessun saprà! . . . All'alba vincerò! Vincerò! Vincerò.

By PAZZO AL SACCO
"Here, at this point, Giacomo Puccini stopped. This time death was stronger than art."
Sutherland snatches the scepter away with force. Never was Turandot so fascinating, languid, mysterious, captivating, feminine and enveloping.
