The musical direction was entrusted for the occasion to the Italian maestro Nicola Luisotti, who set his direction on meditated and expanded times, perhaps in an attempt to adapt to the solemn show signed by Robert Wilson.
The Turandot designed by Wilson for the Teatro Real in Madrid is a solemn and visually striking show, thanks to the skilful use of lights, colors and a rigorous compositional symmetry of the scenes.
The three characters Wilson seems to have mainly focused on are Ping, Pong and Pang, which become real masks (both in movements and in facial expressions), as if they had come out of the Commedia dell'Arte, resulting the most successful characters of the work.
