Please drop this role.
There’s a wobble showing in the voice which is under pressure.

In Wilson's Turandot you will have to stand for hours with one arm lifted up, and completely still with a super strong cold light in the eyes. Exhausting posture for the back muscles and the BREATH. Take care.

Indeed, there is a lot of screaming when she sings this opera. She should keep away from it.
