One does not need to necessarily be a fan of Opera to thouroughly enjoy and taken in by this film. The massive undertaking; bringing the classic Puccini Opera Turandot from Florence to Bejing is not as easy as it sounds! (And language while the obvious answer, is only the tip of the iceberg.)Over nine hundred members, and three principal casts, added to an unsettled, and fragile 600 year-old outdoor venue produce unique situations that must be worked out. The head spins as language transitions from Chinese to Italian to English to German, it's a divine miracle that the opening night went off without a hitch, in fact, it was brilliant. (Albeit, the public dress rehearsal was unfortunately rained out.) The camera work is comprehensive, without being intrusive, one feels as if they are one of the crew. I was overtaken by legitimate goose bumps as challenges were overcome, as if that was the way it's always been. Spectacular color, angelic voices, and a delicious mix of Chinese and Italian cultures make this fine documentary a must see!
