The sheer scale of the production, and the size of the venue, make the film interesting to watch.

Top CriticIt is not any one thing that makes The Turandot Project a stirring entertainment, but a glorious mix of things...

Top CriticSucceeds because of the monumental spectacle of all those people bringing Puccini's masterpiece to an audience.
03/07/02
A complex tale smoothly told, and a major treat for music lovers.
08/10/01
For all the potential fascination of the subject, it is surprisingly unmesmerizing.

Top CriticMainly this is a film about what goes on backstage when you put on an opera, and that in itself was a treat to see.

It's really kind of fun.
08/09/01
A sturdy, workmanlike job, evincing a high degree of competence if not a great deal of imagination.

This is a classic 'East meets West' situation, and it's great fun to watch it all come together.
07/20/01
Highly valuable as a document of the creation of live art.

Less music than you might prefer, but grand and moving.

Top CriticIf you're an opera fan and are familiar with Turandot, then you probably should check this one out. If you'd rather be drawn and quartered than even walk past a building where an opera once took place, you probably should sit this one out.

A confusing, rather shapeless disappointment that fails to provide the viewer with a sense of the production's scale or storied beauty.
08/10/01
Top CriticA low-cal account of artistic endeavor and sacrifice.
