A little too dark maybe, and definitely needing some imperial gold and glitter, with the Emperor looking somewhat like Shen Nung roused from under his tea tree. But the music is astounding... enough to say that the opera is conducted by Antoni Wit. In High Note magazine Maestro Wit, deputy director of the theatre Wojciech Rodek and Polish soprano Agnieszka Kuk, alternating in the part of the Princess, are talking to Elżbieta Krajewska.

"Turandot" in Łódź is directed by Adolf Weltschek with costumes by Małgorzata Zwolińska.

The recordings in the programme feature Krystyna Jamroz, Iwona Sobotka and Tomasz Kuk.
