This might have been one of Ghena's last Turandot. Not at her peak but always a solid performance - especially after almost 30 years of singing Turandot (I don't know if there is another singer who has performed for Turandots than Dimitrova)
Poor Ghena. She's in questionable voice here - looks to be coughing and phlegm-clearing between phrases. Flats the big B nat and splits wide open on her high C. Still, she was an A-list prima donna for several years and to appear in a semi-professional production like this is painful to see. I've heard some really bad Liu's but this woman could take the gonzo prize.

The video needs to be revised, but I enjoy setdesign, masks and costumes! I`m sure the sound in the house was brilliant!
