Turandot’s aria IN QUESTA REGGIA - Marton, Radvanovsky, Wilson, Grigorian

Very recently i got an interesting comment from a young chap, a young and very talented opera singer who wrote: „I care about tradition as opposed to reinventing art“.

And I thought: Isn’t that a contradiction in itself? I would postulate that the main job of art is to reinvent itself on a daily base. As I understand it art’s objective is constant change, constant progress, constant reinvention... 🤷‍♂️

Watch 4 different versions of Turandot’s „In questa reggia“ and let me know if you think that one of those did accomplish to „re-invent“ art…
