JOS CURA, TURANDOT -- Zurich. 2006

JOSÉ CURA, “TURANDOT“ at the Opernhaus Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland in 2006 In 2006, JOSÉ CURA brought Calaf to life in the Opernhaus Zurich’s production of Puccini’s Turandot. Representing contemporary sensibilities, Cura easily parodied the stereotype of macho lover with a deft, witty approach that delighted the audience. His impeccable comic timing, most notably in the famous Act II riddle scene where his comedic instincts were inspired, sent ripples of laughter through the auditorium. Cura reprised the role in Zurich in season 2006/2007 and again in 2007/2008.
