    It was the first time I had seen an opera with Japanese elements and I was very impressed.
    The only thing I would say is that when they used kimonos for costumes, I wanted them to be worn in the correct way.
    It doesn't look very beautiful when the chest is wrinkled.
    I'm cheering you on from Japan.
    I'm using a translator, so I apologise if the words are not correct.
    日本の要素を取り入れたオペラを初めて見たので感動しました。
    ただ1つ言うのであれば、衣装に着物を使う際には正しい着方をして欲しかったです
    胸元がシワシワしているのはあまり綺麗に見えないので
    日本から応援しています

    You know it’s a powerful opera when I start blubbering just by watching this clip.

    Una de las más bella, música y letra del Gran Puccini. ¡Mi preferida!.
    Gracias. ¡Ojalá hubieran el vídeo completo, peto sin comentarios.
    Gracias.

    I loved that production of Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier which translates a deep knowledge of Japanese culture. Traditional and modern at the same time. They also translated the actual situation of sexual harassment of a woman not only in the colonial context. I wish I could see it again with Maria Agresta.

    I don't see Pinkerton as a 'victim'. If he hadn't given Cio-Cio-San false hope (and had kept his pants buttoned!) the tragedy would never have occurred - the rat!!

    I'm sure it'll be (was it already?) heart-wrenching & a blockbuster at least for Agresta & Guerrero. Hope some YT channel will show excerpts of it. Maybe I find a streaming somewhere of it...

    The Royal Opera obviously hasn't heard of brexit or Trump and has a full international cast and production team that collaborates to the very highest level of excellence.If this was the model for the whole UK economy then we wouldn't be in the mess we are.

    I really don't want to be that person, but they couldn't find a single Asian actor to play any of the roles ?

      If they go for accuracy, why would they stop at one person? But this is about who is the best opera singer for a role. Even the prince and the princess in Turandot are supposed to be young and beautiful, but I've never seen them being played by anyone other than 40yo looking man and woman.

      They don’t necessarily have Germans or Italians playing German/Italian characters 🤷🏼‍♂️
