The Turandot Project
July 18, 2019 @ 12:00 pm
Hendersonville Film Society presents a luncheon movie, The Turandot Project. In 1997 conductor Zubin Mehta staged Puccini’s opera Turandot in Florence, Italy, a production that broke with many traditions. He suggested hiring the Chinese film director Zhang Yimou to give the production more authenticity. An opportunity then arose to stage the production in China. Even if you do not like opera, this film has left audiences on the edge of their seats as they watch this incredible feat of imagination and hard work.
