The New York Times once described the queer avant-garde theater director Robert Wilson   as [America]’s – or even the world’s – foremost vanguard ‘theater artist.’  If you are familiar with any of Wilson’s remarkable body of work, you will appreciate that this is a well-deserved accolade.

After twenty years of absence, Puccini’s Turandot was revived on the stage of Madrid’s Teatro Real in a new production by Wilson. One of the most important theatre and visual artist of our times, the director who gave life to Philip Glass’s Einstein of the Beach and who reinvented Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande hadn’t worked on a Puccini opera in twenty-five years, since his ground-breaking Madama Butterfly commissioned by the Paris Opera in 1993.

This new encounter between his powerful visual universe and Puccini’s evocative music was bound to be an outstanding event. Carried out by a brilliant cast of singers, dominated by Irene Theorin as Turandot, Gregory Kunde as Calaf and Yolanda Auyanet as Liù, this magnificent production is conducted by the Teatro Real’s associate musical director Nicola Luisotti – and has been met with universal acclaim.

Now this musical and visual treat is available to stream  globally on Marquee TV
