...Felsenstein Protégé Joachim Herz but supervised by the boss himself, stressed naturalistic stage effects, an infinite concern for dramatic detail, and acting of startling realism. The curtain rose on an iron grille stretched across the proscenium, representing the palace gate separating the chorus of rag-clad Chinese from the palace courtyard, where one of Turandot's unsuccessful suitors was about to be executed. The mob faced the audience in silence for several seconds, hissed in hypnotic fascination at their gruesome vision. Only then did the music begin. Throughout, the stage blazed with barbaric lights and colors...
