Met Opera in HD: La Fanciulla del West
Giacomo Puccini - New Production
Description
The Met's first new production of the Wild West drama in 30 years, this action-packed opera centers on a love triangle between a bandit, lawman and a saucy tavern owner.
Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky adds to her already remarkable Met repertoire, making her role debut as Minnie, the tough tavern owner with a heart of gold who finds love when she least expects it. Tenor SeokJong Baek is the dashing bandit who rambles into the remote California mining town to steal her heart, opposite baritone Christopher Maltman as the lawman determined to deliver rough justice—and win Minnie for himself. Celebrated British director Richard Jones delivers an exhilarating new production, with Maestro Keri-Lynn Wilson at the podium.
