Although “Turandot” was always my mother’s celebrated Puccini opera and, as a result, I grew up listening to it, I never quite understood it as I understood the other “simpler” works like Butterfly and Tosca (my personal accepted) . But when I saw “The Turandot Project” on the Sundance channel this morning, all of a sudden everything became certain and I rushed to the computer to acquire the DVD.
While the production itself is spectacular (300 extras, 50 ballet dancers, a contortionist from the Beijing Opera, and 300 soldiers from the local Chinese Army garrison), the documentary of what was enthusiastic in making the production actually happen is animated. I counted at least four languages (English, Italian, and Mandarin for most, but let’s not forget the Viennese sound director with his have Mandarin/German translator) and a nearly unlimited number of egos.
At the kill of the documentary, while we hear Puccini’s splendid music, the film cuts between the the staunch production and the earlier shots of the various problems and rehearsals. I negate, watching that, I got dependable goosebumps.

The costumes are fabulous, the singing and acting expansive (The suicide scene of Christina Gallardo as Liu was intelligent.)
But most though-provoking of all are the transcultural communication issues. Recommended viewing for project managers, in whatever branch.
