Veronika Dzhioeva made her debut at the Hong Kong Opera House, performing her signature role of Princess Turandot in the eponymous opera by Giacomo Puccini. The production was directed by the renowned Jia Ding, with Yuan Ding conducting the orchestra.
Veronika's performance received enthusiastic praise from both the audience and critics. In a review for Bachtrack, Dr. Anton D. Luiten noted:
"Turandot's silence throughout the entire first act creates immense anticipation. Veronika Dzhioeva first appeared in royal red, complemented by a dazzling headdress. Her menacing glances and piercing soprano intensified the drama of the moment. Her opening aria 'In questa reggia' showcased superb control: the singer added a cutting edge when needed, maintaining powerful form, immediately defining the cold character of the heroine. Her vocal qualities are particularly suited for this formidable role, and she even infused the character with unique touches of passion and tenderness after Turandot's transformation."
This debut highlighted Veronika Dzhioeva’s exceptional vocal qualities, expressiveness, and depth of stagecraft. The combination of her powerful soprano and ability to convey the subtlest emotions allowed her to brilliantly embody the complex and multifaceted character of Turandot, turning the performance into a true highlight of the season.
